The Stone Forests of Arizona,

The regions of the Little Colorado
river in Arizona abound in wonderful
vegetable petrifactions, whole forests
being found in some places which are
hard as flint, but which look as If but
recently stripped of their foliage. Some
of these stone trees are standing just
as natural as life, while others are
piled across each other just like the
fallen monarch of a real wood forest
Biologists say that these stone trees
were once covered to the depth of q
thousand feet with mari, which trans
formed them from woodtto solid rock
This mari after the lapse of ages wash
ed out, leaving some of the trees stand
ing In an upright position. The major
ity of them, however, are piled helter
skelter in all directions, thousands of
cords being sometimes piled up on an
acre of ground.

St. Petersburg, June s.-Accordine
to reliable reports from Peteroff, EN-
perOr Nicholas has about decided to

M. Goremykin did not possess the

The wisdom Of the constitutional
Democrats in refraining from making
an issue of the death penalty, in the
meantime insisting on the suspension
Of executions, is commended by some
of the newspapers.
Dispatches from the interior show
that the gradual extension Of the
agrarian disorders and partial strikes
now affect twelve provinces. The la
test disturbances reported are at Kieff
and Tver. Numerous collisions be-
tween peasants and rural guards have
taken place, but nothing in the nature
of mass movement has yet occurred.
A sensation has been caused by the
disclosures of M. Vladimiroff, a CORE
spondent of the Twentieth Century
formerly the Russ, who investigated
the cause of Mile. Spiridonovo and
who Is now in the Baltic provinces in
vestigating the repression there. He
declares that six out of the eight men
executed at Riga were innocent, and
says they were forced to confess by
tortures which put the Spanish inqui-
sition to shame Although the social
revolutionists have proclaimed tenn

campaign, there is no abatement in the
murders of police officials in the inte-
rior.
