conIdn,t Recall His Nams

Edison is one of the most absent
minded of men, and a good story OF
him in this regard relates to the visit
of the inventor to the Office OF the tax
collector. Standing in line, with a
score or more Of taxpayers in front Of
him, Edison's mind reverted to an i'm
portant experiment on which he had
been engaged. When his turn came at
the window to which he had moved
mechanically he was aroused by a
clerk asking his name. He looked at
the man vacantly.
Il could no more have given It then
than l could have flown" he confded

Luckily an official who recognized
him and knew of his forgetfulness

Petrified Forest National Monument

Copies of President Roosevelt's proclamation setting aside the "petri6ed forests" of Gila and Apache counties, in Arizona, as a "petriied forest national monu- ment," have been received in Los Angeles. The proclamation, which is based upon an act of congress of June 8. 1906, declares that the "Mesozoic forests, commonly known as 'petrified forests,' in the terri tory of Arizona, situated upon the public lands owned and controlled by the United States are of the greatest scientific interest and value, and it appears that the pub lie good would be promoted by re- serving these deposits of fossilized wood as national monument with as much land as may be necessary for the proper protection thereof"
 The proclamation concludes: Warning is hereby given to all unauthorized persons not to ap- propriate, excavate, injure or destroy any of the mineralized forest remains, hereby declared to be national monument, or settle upon any lands reserved and made a part of said monument by this procla mation."- "-L. A. Dispatch.
