wood was found in the valley of the
south fork of the Old Man river in
the northern part of the province Of

$4,000. was presented by Edwin T..

of the wonderful freaks of nature. The
peat. from which the stump was taken.
is on sandstone formation and is
about three feet in thickness. Sea-
weeds and flag-stocks found nearby
also were we'll preserved.
This peat bed was uncovered by
the wearing away of the glacial wash
by floods and the flow of the Old Man
river. There is not the least ques-
ton in my mind that the tree grew
before the glacial period. more than
100000 years ago. but so far l have
not been able to ascertain the kind OF
wood it is.
THE discovery was made not long
ago in the Frand district, which is 25(
miles north of Spokane and fully 400
miles east of the Pacific ocean. The
presence of wellpreserved seaweed
and flag-stock in abundance. buried un

to be sufficient proof of it's antiquity

TRACK WALKER HAS
177,90O MILE RECORD
Five Pennsylvania Railroad
Employees Travelled Near
" Million Miles.

George A. Burns. the oldest track
Pennsylvania railroad, has just put
his 177,9O0th mile behind him. In
keeping vigil over the track placed in
his care, he has walked the equivalent
of 1-3 times around the world in the
last IS years. Journeying four times
day between Greensburg, Pa. and
Youngwood Yard, a distance of 3.53
miles, he has inspected 5.725,So0 splice
plates on half that many rail joints.
Other Pennsylvania track watchmen
who have distance records are Will
liam Young of Franklin. Pa, with 1884,,
la miles in % years and months;
Dennis Waters, Norristown. Pa, with
111,624 miles in "a years; Simon Ow-
ems, Washington, D. c., with 135,626
miles in 25 years and months; and
julius Helm, of Edgwood. Md, who
has covered 101, 100 miles in % years
and 3 months. These five men to-
gether have walked nearly a million
miles.
Track science is reduced to an ex-
act science on the Pennsylvania. A
patrolman registers in the tower at
the end of his beat the hour and
minute Of his arrival: departs on his
journey and registers similarly in
the tower at the other end. He car
ries registering clock. by which his
trips can be checked to the minute.
His route usually covers about four
miles, but is less than half this on
stretches where special watchfulness
is needed. At night the inspector has
only the light of his lantern to work
by, but he must see that every frog,
switch and signal is in good order.
If a nearby tree looks dangerous,
he must report, so that it can be chop
ped down. An overhanging rock may
become loose-the track-walker must
know about it in time to avert a pos
sible accident. The wash of waters
must be looked after. Road crossings
must be examined for danger to teams
as we'll as trains.
| Other things that demand his vigil
are outlying water stations, overhead
| wires and even the cattle loose in the
fields. Some of these pedestrians are
