IMMENSE.

The late Charles Lockhart of Pitts burg was a man few had heard of out side of his own town and comparative ly few of these knew him personally, yet he left a fortune of $2OO 1000, ,00O. Just stop for moment, gentle reader, and imagine what a block of money this is. It is six times a9 much as the original Astor left in 1S46 and eighteen times the wealth of the founder of Girard college; and each of these was in turn the American Croesus, His wealth was thrice that of Commodore Vanderbilt, and his income as great as that of the United States government a century ago. The only widespread notoriety he achieved was attained by his opposition to his daughters marrying a poor man. His chief talent was that of making wise investments and hoarding his money
 He was not a patron of the arts and sciences, not benefactor to any ex- tent of churches and colleges. He was practically a recluse who live unosten- tatiously within his shell, secluded and unaspiring save to accumulate money. He was an investor in Standard Oil." might perhaps be an appropriate in- scription on his monument. There was no Carnegie horror of dying rich in his composition; no Carnegie liberality He did not bestow great benefactions like Rockefeller. His was not the simple life" that helped his fellow beings. His obscurity helped him in one way He escaped the attentions of any Town Topics that might have had existence in his neighborhood, and he was not besieged for donations. His mail did not bring him, as did Helen Gould's in one day recently begging letters, and not from needy ones either, for sums amounting to half a million dollars. His money rolled up and the recent revela- tion of the immensity of his wealth created his only claim for fame.

COSTLY.

The wonders of the world increase and the great achievements of man multiply This is suggested by the vast undertakings in the way of tunnel- ing in vogue to-day here and abroad. The latest in this line is concerning a stupendous project in Russia. Of course in the present political upheav- al in that country and the existing diff ficulty of floating Russian loans, no money for such a vast project will be forthcoming to-day, but it is in the line of progress, and will, doubtless, eventually materiaHze.
 One of the plans which has been re- cently laid before the Czar is the gigantic project of building a tunnel through the Caucasus under the pres- ent military Georgian road running from vladikavkaz to Tifis. This will he the biggest thing of its kind ever attempted, and the costliest. The total length of the tunnel, which will be in two divisions, will be thirty-two miles

A touching appeal is one just sent out for the vast" sum of 5000 for the pro- motion of noble cause. Such is an appeal made by the American Bible So- ciety which shows that this society, which for ninety years has carried on it's work of distributing copies of the Scripture to all parts of the world, is in danger of having it's efficiency greatly diminished, if not nullified, owing to the decrease in gifts and contributions. This Is amply seen in letters written to the society by Dr. Henry H. Jessup, the veteran missionary in the East, The work of the society in the Near East has been especially important, As many as 100000 copies of the Bible, trans lated into Arabic by the late Right Rev. erend Eli Smith and the Rev. Cornelius V. A. Van Dyke, nave been printed by the Mission Press and circulated in one year. The demand is growing, and if the society cannot raise the necessary funds the workmen of the Mission Press in Beirut will have to be dis charged and the new presses and ma chinery sold for junk. According to pr. Jessup, $9,0OO is required for the con- tinuance of the work, and it is earnest ly requested that churches and Chris tian societies take immediate steps to help.

ARIzONA's PETRIFIED FOREST.


 The petrified forest of Arizona, as 1t is commonly called, has been esti- mated by scientists who have explored it to embrace a territory about eight miles square. This includes the three sections of the forest. The first or northern section and the second or middle section differ considerably from the third, since the trees of the latert, which have thus far been ex- posed, are not vari-colored, but of a uniformly dark hue, at time approach ing black.
 Recent examinations of the Painted Desert, where the deposits are located, indicate that thus far only part has ben uncovered, and that the forest is of far greater extent than has been thought. Every year the action of the elements brings to view more and more of it, and there is evidence that 1t reaches considerably beyond the boundaries already defined
 The curious positions in which some of teh petrified trees have been found have possibly caused more attention to be given to this feature of the for est than to the wonderful variety of quartz into which the wood has been converted as well as the manner in which Nature has exposed these trunks, which have perhaps been turned to stone since the Mesozoic age. One of the best localities to study the forest from this point of view is in the most northern section, which is easily accessible, being located only seven miles from Adamana station on tho Santa Fe Railway system
 An hours ride brings the observed to the heart of this section. It is near the Rio Puerco a branch of the Little Colorado River, which flows through Northeastern Arizona.
 The flow of water in this stream during the flood season is to the south from Adamana and toward the por- tions ofthe forest which have thus far been exposed. But the writer, in examining it's bed north from Ada mana. found number of fragments of wood not only in the form of chal- cedony, but also of jasper.
 For more than half of the year the bed of the river is dry like other streams of it's character in the South west. The specimens referred to were found on the dried mud of the bed, showing that they had evidently been carried down from another de-

posit far beyond the formation which thus far has been exposed. Unfor- tunately it was impossible to trace the locality from which fragments came, owing to lack of time, but they were Identical with the mass of siliclified debris which covers acres of the sur face in the Worest that is visible.
 The term deposit as applied to this formation is perhaps more appropri- ate than forest since people are apt to regard a forest as growth of trees in the natural position. Only In a very few instances have trunks been found standing upright.
 The most notable formation in fla miliar to all who have visited this place-a fortion of a trunk held in an inverted position with stubs of petri- fled roots still clinging to the butt. Practically all of the trees, however, are prostrate, and it is safe to say not on is of it's original length.
 Even tl,N so-called natural bridge which spans little ravine in the mid dle deposi. is probably but section of the original tree. although it has been exposed for a distance of Ill feet. The bridge will soon be a thing of the past, unless it is supported by artificial means as the Assures which were found in it when the trees was first examined have wi6ened consid- erably and it may break in pieces at any time.
 With this exception, and few logs ranging from 20 to 30 feet in length the great mass of the material is In small pieces Glancing at some of the deposits at the foot of the mesa, the regularity with which they have been broken off by Nature arouses curiosity. It would seem as If some one had come here in prehistoric times with saw and ax and cut the logs into suitable lengths for planklng even into small sizes as shingle bolts.
 The incisions across the butts are made as evenly as if done with a sharp steel blade. Where the bark has re- tained it's natural color the illusion Is even more perfect. In fact, there are arces of this formation which look as if the lumberman had just let It.; yet every bit of the work has been done by the action of the clements.
 The prevailing opinion of geologists is that the trees have been carried sev- eral murdered feet below their first resting place by the disintergration of the mesa. Recent calculations of the height of the original plateau place it at fully 700 feet at the point where the deposits have ben exposed, but it has been worn down until in many places 1t is less than 100 feet above the level of the bed of the Rio Puerco.
 The process by which the mesa has thus been destroyed is similar to the erosion which is seen in such vast area of the Southwest The material, consisting of beds of clays and sand stone shales mixed wah harder sand stone k so susceptible to the action of the water that even a single rain storm carries away ar enormous quan- tity of it in solution.
 erevice of few inches becomes a gap from 20 to 50 feet in width and frequently 100 feet in depth. As these miniature canyons are cut out of the lormation, the enormous quantity of Detrilled wood which thu mesa com talrs Is revealed by the pieces which are washed do~n from them.--ew Vnrk SuO

 He graduated from college and is highly educated has fine house, good looking wife and pretty children, but rather clumsy looking feet, and Is a most disagreeable father of a crying baby
 Anyone can judge if his clothes fit or not, and what discomfort he must undergo from his swollen feet. He has completely exhausted all the profane words in the languages of many na- tions declaring Sore and Inflamed Feet a thoughtless mistake He says he knows all about it. He has tried the use of several Corns, Bunions, and Nails for some years and thinks there is slow torture enough in them to drive fifty rational men into a madhouse, He could not work, and lost lots of time. He tried several ten cent reme- dies but grew worse and worse He. spoke to his wife about going to sec Dr. Welch, at 792 Chapel St. She said "Oh yes, hell do you good, why didn't I think to tell you before, If you can get your feet so you can work, we won't have to take In washing" Then he asked the advice of his mother-in- law but she called him a fool to think of going to a noted chiropodist about his feet. He then dxperimented with more cheap corn salve; heat base drum and put two bull dogs in the parlor to drown his groans. This most patient father did not think he was q fool, but did not see the doctor; but came to the conclusion that he might as we'll try to dam Niagara. At this stage he declared he had not slept for several weeks. He was bored with pain, and exhausted and done for if he did not find relief and rest. He finally came to his senses after long delibera- tion and suffering and consulted Dr. Welch, 792 Chapel Street, New Haven, and went home a changed man, and wheeled the baby all over the park. He told his friends at the club what great relief he found at the hands of Dr. Welch, and Uncle Sam's Balsam and Alleviator. Others may find the same relief,
