Disguised as a TramD.

That a man moving amongst the re-
spectacle classes should disguise him
self as beggar, and go in search of
adventure, is not a new idea. A young
man with taste for such experiments,
however, introduced a novel feature,
when masquerading as a tramp, by
visiting, amongst others, some of his
friends.
He had a splendid opportunity of
testing their benevolence, for none of
them recognized him with his seedy
garments and general air of wretch?
edness.
His pilgrimage lasted five days, and

appropriate state of pennilessness) he
begged or earned just about sufficient
to live In a rough fashion.
He received innumerable insults
Cmany from unsuspecting acquain-
tances), and only one kind word (from
stranger). Even when he entered a
shop or lodging-house with money to
pay for his needs his ragged garments
procured him much contemptuous
treatment, and he learned a severe
lesson on the Importance of clothes.
Indeed, his cynical conclusion Is
that a man who seeks charity should,
before all things, be we'll dressed!

But after all, the climax of all ibis

consisting of a great petrified trunk
lying across a canyon 20 feet deep,
and forming natural foot-bridge on
which men may easily cross. At the
point where the bridge crosses, the
canyon is about 80 feet wide, but the
trunk lies diagOnally, and measures
Al feet between the points at which 1t
rests on the sides of the canyon. The

lions OF Years OId-PrescrVed by
the Government Against SpoIia-
tIon-Natural Wonders.
Once they were forest of stately
pines grown to a height far beyond
that attained by the trees of today.
Ages passed, aud through some unex-
pla1naDle act Of nature they were up
rooted, prostrated to the ground
probably buried beneath the earth by
volcanic ashes and the SHOWS of many
winters. Next came the waters OF
floods, leaving over the prone giants
an inland sea, and all traces OF the
green forest were swept away. Vast
periods of time passed; the seas van
ished; volcanoes sent their ashes high
in the air, and the explosions from
the interior of the earth swept up
ward the debris, among which were
the wrecks Of the pines. Following
this period the waters hurried toward
lower levels, gnawing the masses
and endeavoring to eat into the very
cell structure OF the logs. Erosion
was at work, and after centuries,
through the probable action Of acids
aud alkalies, the logs Of the ancient
forest are revealed to human eyes.
Preserved For Future Ages.
This is the history Of the wonder
ful petrihed forest of Arizona which
Congress, at its last session, set aside
as Government reserve. There are
in all about 5000 acres of land in this
reserve, land valueless for commercial
or agricultural pursuits but the hand
OF nature has created Of this vast ex-
panse a garden Of monuments to the
vegetation of long ago, forming an
attraction for people from all parts Of
the world.
Trunks Of trees. some a hundred
feet long, and huge logs, lie in a con-
fusion in the same position as when
nature, In the resurrection of the an
cient forest, broke out in explosion
due TO the eruption of volcanic crat-
ers. In every direction are to be seen
pieces of petritied wood, some only as
large as toy marble, others in
blocks and logs from eight to ten
feet in diameter; others are buried
partly beneath the shale and occa-
siOnally there projects from the side,
near the top Of the mesa, the end Of a
uge log
These mesas are in themselves
wonderful structures. They are COM
posed Of shale, clay and sandstone Of
many colors, and the ravages OF
storm and wind have eroded their
sides so that here and there they
stand out like the playthings Of a
prehistoric giant child. BY ponder
ing upon this sight a faint idea is
given Of the countless number OF
years that have rolled by since this
erosive process commenced.
