The Hurled Forest.

According to an eminent biologist.
there is nothing at all remarkable III
the discovery of buried forest of oak
trees nea: Peterborough. "ln bog
lands" lie said, cit is n common thing
to find few feet below the surface
the forests which have been submerged
with the shifting of the earth's strata.
From geological point of view, the
Peterborough buried forest may have
certain amount of interest, though
that depends ON whether any animals
have been found there.
"There are some great reptiles in the
South Kensington Musuem, which
were found in Peterborough. and they
are millions of years older than the
newly discovered forest.
"The forest-bed on the Norfolk coast
is also far older than 1000 years. There,
below the surface. are forests of all
ages-immense tracts of fossilized
wood.
You must remember that all Eng
land was one vast oak forest at one
time, patches of which only remain to-
day. The rest is under the earth.
"rhose bog lands formed by the fill
ing up of natural basins have locked
up within them the forests of CEN
turtles, which are coal in the making.
And even in coal you frequently get the
distinct formation of a tree trunk.
LAS for the practical value of the
ancient trees discovered at Peterbor-
ough, 1 should say it is very little.
Bog oak cannot be used successfully
for furniture or panelling. and can only
be adapted to small things. 1t is brit
tie, and as hard as jet."-London

elements to the vitiated blood and en-
able nature to cast out the impurities

furnish living evidence of the truth Of
this statement. "There has been rheu.

sharp pains, confined to the neighbor-
hood of the knee and they seemed to go
right into the bone. The pain / suffered
