In the "Petrifed Forest" Of Arizona
there Is g. natural bridge, across mar
row canyon, consisting the petrthed.
or aRatiHed, trunk Of a truce, Ill feet
IN length. The petrifed trees in this
region are believed to have hourished
in the Triassic age Most Of them are
allied TO the Norfolk Island pine (Aru-
caria) Of to-day, but some resemble tne
red cedar. Professor 0. Q. 5. Garter
thinks that the petrifactiOn was due to
soluble sIlicates derived from the de-
composition Of the feldspathic cement
found In the sandstone Of that locality
Professor Il. B. Smith, Of the Wor-
cester Polytechnic Institute, says that
it is to-day possible 10 deliver ON the
coast Of California, for use in factories,
electric power derived from the melt
ing SHOWS and glaciers Of the Rocky
Mountains, at a smaller cost than that
Of an equal amount of power produced
by steam, even If the fuel were deliv-
cred free at the factory furnaces. A
few years ago, In San Francisco, an
electric-power current cost 10 cents per
horsepower per hour, but now the
same current costs only one-seventh as
much.
From Russian sources 1t is learned
that streams of colonists are still pour
ing into Siberia to develop its agricul-
tural resources, and on the shores Of
fifty rivers homes are rapidly being
made. Farms as large as those Of I'LL

are cultivated either by single families
or by combinations Of men and women
In local communities, the basis Of each
Of which is a mir, or village. But these
Siberian farmers are still backward in
the use Of agricultural machinery, al
though there is steady progress in that
regard.
Readers Of 1.-THE Thousand and One
Nights" will remember the Islands of

lures Of Hassan Of Balsora and the
princess with the dress Of feathers.
DR.. Alfred Russell Wallace suggests
that the islands were real, and that
they can be identified with the Aru ISL
ands, the home of the great bird OF
paradise The name "Wak-W Wax" he
thinks, may be an imitation of the call
of the birds, and the story of Hassan's
visit to the islands of Wak-Wak may
be based on the actual adventures of
some traveller who discovered the
haunts Of the birds Of paradise.

HORSE THIEVES
RAID RANCHES

LIVERMORE, April IT, = From a
lair in the mountains only few miles
from Livermore, from which it would
be difficult to drive them, even with
a large posse, a band of bold horse
thieves is operating against the stock
ranches of the valley, and already
several of the ranches famed for their
high bred stock have lost valuable
animals.
So bold have the thieves finally be-
come that they have ceased to confine
their operations to the more thinly
settled parts of the valley, and have
stolen horses from ranches close to
the limits of the town. Not until last
night, however, was Livermore itself
thieves nearly resulted in the capture
of one of them.
The thief whose daring so nearly led
to his undoing made a raid on the
pasture Of George Coughlan and sue
ceeded in getting away with two
valuable animals. He was seen by
Mrs. Coughian, however, and she
quickly sent word to her husband,
who was away from home. Coughlan
at once mounted a bicycle and pur-
sued the thief, overtaking him on the
Dublin road, just outside the town
limits.
The horse thief was riding one of
the stolen horses and leading the
other. On being commanded by
Coughlan to halt the man released the
horse he was leading and attempted
to escape with the other, but Cough
lslan fired two shots at him and, fearing
capture, the thief slipped from the
horse and escaped, in the darkness.

Trustees of Berkeley will tomorrow

Gently elected 10 conduct the towns
affairs, and with the approval of
those bonds will begin an administra-
ton in the university city that is al
most completely new. The only men
retaining their places in the town hail
are Street Superintendent Turner,
Treasurer Lord and Clerk Merrill.
The term of Office Of all the new
officials viii commence on Tuesday
morning. Marshal Kerns will not
leave his desk then. however, having
consented TO remain for a few days,
assisting the new marshal, August
Nollmer, in learning the routine of
the Office. Kerns took his defeat good
naturedly, and has evinced the utmost
willingness to help his successor ac-
euire perfect control Of the police de-
partment.
Marshal-elect Vollmer will appoint
Levi Moran as his chief deputy. Moran
is a real estate dealer, who assisted
the young candidate materially in his
fight for the Office. Moran supposedly
viii DO the work that Burt Howard
has hitherto performed in the mar
shal's Office.
All the new officials will receive
salaries greater than those paid their
predecessors, the town trustees at a
recent meeting having increased the
emoluments of every Office. except
that Of the town engineer. The fees
in that Office constitute the engineer S
wage, and they have been very large
in the past, aggregating $4,000 in
some years.
The Offices do not have sufficient
work to require deputies, except for
occasional periods, so there is no rush
of applicants for places. The trustees
will appoint three deputy marshals
the same number that Marshal Kerns
has had although eventually the force
is TO be increased and uniformed.

ALAMEDA, April 1s.-With services
commencing at o'clock this afternoon
and this evening at 1880 o'clock, the
new Congregational Church was dedi-
Gated. The beautiful new structure was
crowded with members of the congre-
cation and friends of the church from
this city, visitors from about the bay
and representatives of the various
churches. The seating capacity of the
church was almost filed at the after
noon services, and a throng crowded
the entrances and every available place
from which the ceremonies of giving
the house over to the work of God
could be watched.
A notable feature of the dedication
is the fact that the pastors who have
served the church since it's founding in
Alameda were all present-Rev. George
Morris, the first pastor; Rev. o. @.
May. Rev. w. w. Scudder Jr. and the
present pastor, Rev. L. Potter Hitch

Brown of the First Congregational
Church of Oakland.

cation sermon, his subject being. 1.-THE
Gates Of the Kingdom" from Revela-
lions, xxi:18. He said in part:
| 1 feel complmented in being called to Off

at the close relations between the church OF
Alameda and the church of Oakland.

| accessibility of the church alluded to in Rev
Citations: I'm the east, three gates; in the
/ south. three gates; in the north, three gates
4 in the west, three gates From all points
| the church is accessible; TO the young, the
east gates where We look for the beginning
10 the emotional, the south, where we look
/ matters Of emotion before accepting them, and
the west gates for those who have passed
along in life, for Christ tells us 1t is never toe
late. There is need Of hunting for the gate
/ at which some other person enter. Enter into
the kingdom from where you are.
The music was furnished by Miss
May G. Gilmour, soprano; Miss M
Carlotta Stockdill, contralto; Ernest H

College Men at Berkeley
STANFORD AIDS WORK
Visiting Brethren From Palo
Alto Conduct Exercises
and Sit at Festal Board

BERKELEY, April 15.-Men Of the
University of California who are Mas
ter Masons were formed into a chapter
of the Acacia fraternity tonight by
members of a similar chapter at Stan
ford University. The, work was done at
the Hotel Metropolis, in Oakland, and
was followed by a banquet. The Stan
ford men who conducted the exercises,
members of Beth Chapter, were T. Van
Sickle, E. c. Miller. P. NJ. Davis, c. d.
Atterbury, F. o. Shuts, J. H. Thomp-
son, A. B. Saunders, B. r. Saunders
and G. r. Ross.
The list of members of the new chap
ter at the University of California in
cludes the names of distinguished men,
the complete list being as follows:
Alumni-Governor George c. Pardee. Colonel
George w. Bauer E. A. Dickson, Carlos G.
White.
Faculty-Professor Henry Morse Stephens.
professor of history and director of the uni
versity extension work DIR. r. T. Crawford.

Professor John Fryer; 1.-THE Two Uni
versities," Colonel George w. Bauer;
1.-The Goat" E. o. Heinrich, and Our
Future" E. A. Dickson.
The Acacia fraternity is intended to
unite Masons at colleges throughout
the country, each chapter being the
headquarters of college Masons where
it is established. The chapter at the
California University is the fifth to be
organized in this country. The original
society was organized at the Univer-
sity of Michigan in 1904. A national or
ganization is to be perfected this spring,
when delegates will meet at Ann Arbor,
Mich. The chapters are similar to other
college fraternities, except that Hebrew
letters are used instead of Greek, and
membership is elective and composed
of Master Masons of the universities.
The new chapter in Berkeley expects
to erect it's own clubhouse near the
university campus and thus help tC
unite Masonry at the university more
closely than 1t has been in the past.
