ONE OF THE WORLDS WONDERS.

WYE OE TAAE WOhLDS WONDERS
 Among all the wonders of the North American continent. there is none more remarkable than the petrified forests of Colorado and some other portions of the great Middle West Specimens of petrified wood are found in many parts Of the world-or. rather in almost every portion. Sometimes it is found Under the most unexpected conditions, and where no one would think of look ing for anything of the kind. Some- thing in the soil or the water acts on the wood and the result is something very much like stone itself.
 But while such exceptional instances are not uncommon, it is only in tho region mentioned that anything like whole forests can be found. There are found not only fragments of wood, but huge trees and standing stumps, all hard as flint. and in some respects diff fering but little from the real stone of the country. One stump measured by late explorer was eighteen feet in diameter and nine feet high. An other describes a log lying two miles south of Denver, which Is over ninety feet long and some twenty-two feet in diameter. These are exceptionally large specimens, but there are many others which are, or were, really large trees. They are found on the higher lands as well as in the valleys, show Ang that the same influence controlled the entire region.
 Another remarkable fact about these petrifcations is that in many instances they belong to species of trees which are no longer found growing in that entire region. Gigantic Sequoias and cedars are found in the petrined form where no living trees of the same char acter exist. If only logs or fragments of logs were to be found, it might be imagined that they had been brought there by some glacial movement of the remote past, but the stumps are so nu- merous and in their original position that 1t Is evident that tho trees once grew there. Beyond that, all is specu- lation. How long it has been since these trees lived, when they died and were turned to stone, and by what pro- cess such immense changes were wrought is as thoroughly hidden to science as to the savages themselves. It is known that petrifed forests exist, not only in Colorado, but in Arizona and in other portions of that region, and botanists can distinguish the spe- cies to which the trees belonged, but beyond that. all is a mystery. As a late writer observes, There Is no rule of science which can satisfactorily acc count for the change which has taken place in climate since these trees grew, nor yet how long since the change oc- cured" The scientists and the lay men can see that the petrifed trees and remains are there, and that is all that any of them know about one of the wonders of the new world.

 scottsboro, Feb. 10.-(Special)- This region, as well as the surround ing country has experienced terrible showing Friday and by Saturday the ground was covered with the biggest snow seen here for ten years. Sunday was a bad day with sleet, rain and 8 cold north wind. For two days the rain came down in sheets with no in. termission. Telephone and telegraph wires all down. The low lands are now flooded and a great loss of stock in the river bottoms is being reported daily. The loss to the farmers for stock frozen and drowned and fencing washed away will run up into the thousands.

innocent girls and boys" etc. It was referring to the action of the authori- ties in employing convicts to clean the sidewalks of snow and slush. and seems to consider it a great wrong. It may have been wrong to the convicts to force them out in such weather, but we can see no other reason for being disturbed about It. If a man Is asham- ed to be seen working as a convict, hc should refrain from the commission of crime. As for the effect of such an sx- hibition on the boys, is 1t not really a pretty good object lesson for them?

The esteemed Macon Telegraph takes The Atlanta Constitution to task for saying that "no Southern newspaper has published telegraphic news from other sections" during the past few days of trying wire conditions, and says:
 This was not correct The Macon Telegraph gave Its readers nearly the whole amount of its regular telegraphlc news. It has exeelled all other South ern newspapers, with the possible ex. ception of The Jacksonville Times Union, in its out turn of news ever since the storm began. It has taken advantage of every suggestion to keep communication open and its readers ap. prectate the result. The peculiar locd- tion of Macon as a new delivery point, was superbly demonstrated.
 The Macon Telegraph. in turn. is not correct. and forgets that Alabama IS yet in the South. As a matter of fact, however much our Macon contemporary may have eclipsed its Atlanta rival in the premises, no newspaper in the South has given to its readers a more complete telegraphio news service dur ing the present conflict with the eIe- ments than The Advertiser, which has received, night after night a practi- cally complete Associated Press re- port.
 The Telegraph will no doubt recall that it's telegraphie news of Thursday night came to it from the Montgomery oflce of the Associated Press, located in The Advertiser building. having been relayed from here to Macon.

Editor The Advertiser:
 It is contended by some that we are paying two Governors in Alabama.
