been thoroughly shattered as
though by some powerful blow,
and the quartz particles in the
sandstone is part fused, indicating
a very high degree Of heat. Un-
derlying sandstone, however, ia
entirely unchanged. This, OF
course, absolutely precludes the
fornstion OF a crater by any deep
seated agency, and | have been
force | to consider an origin by i'm
pact or stellar body. San exhaus-
tive study of known meteorlc
falls shows that there is no record
of any fall omparable with this.
The largest known meteorites, snch
as that brought by Commander
Peary from Cape York, Green
land, Or the enormous irons from
Oregon, having fallen with SO little
force as to scarcely bury them
selves. The nearest approach to
the Canyon DlabIo occurrence hap
pened at Knyahinya, Hungary, in
1886, when 660-pound stone PEN
etrated the ground to a depth OF
eleven feet. No meteoric mass Of
sufficient size to have made this
enormous crater has been brought
to light, but there still remaips the
possibility of its having become
entirely dissipated through the
heat developed by its impact while
travelling at speed OF many miles
a second" In his report on the
investigation, which is now in
press, Professor Morrell goes very
thoroughly inlo detail. He has
secured many specimens OF the
meteoric irons and their asaocia-
tions from the locality, which are
now on exhibition in the National
Museum.

The cattle industry is growing
lesser in the Panhandle and in
the Texas plains country, says the
Fort Worth Telegram. A Tele-
gram reporter during tho past few
weeks made an extensive trip
through the plains country, visit
ing nearly every town upon the
plains and travelling 485 miles
without once seeing a train.
Everywhere thestory of the ranch
men was the same. The settlers,
the hom eseekers, the farmers are
coming IN and the cattle are going
ont. The ranchmen, anticipating
that early day when their ranches
will be cut up into farms, are SELL
ing off their COVE. They are dis
posing of their yearling steers and
their calves. Their heifers for the
past season or two have been SUBJ
jected to the spaying knife. dThen
where ls the future beef supply of
this once great cattle breeding sec
tion coming from? II the year
lings are being sent away in train
loads and il the calves are being
sold, where can they get their next
years beef and the beef OF the
following season? If the COWS are
no longer there, where will the
calves come from? There will be
none. Not only rapchmeD, but
brand inspectors and government
inspectors, tell the same story.
They are closing out with view
to turning over their lands to the
settler. The herds are dimished,
the vast droves of cattle are grow
ing less.

Ring up Roosevelt on the wire;
And there'll be the deuce to pay.
If the stork don, t visit promptly;
If we lose to the Maroons;
If Ben Iilman's full of malace
Or LaFollette full Of Of prunes,
If the troops shoot up a city
lr you cannot pay your rent
Take lesson from this ditty;
Wire to Roosevelt, PRESIDENT
If there's scandal in Peoria
Or the city's filled with graft:
Or if storer tells his story
Or they're knocking on Bill Taft;
If panic hits the nation
Or they loose the dogs of war;
Or if God needs vacation
let him trust in Theodore.
