NOVELTY IR RAPID
 TRANSIT FOR CITIES

What is known as the Adkins Lewis system of rapid continuous transport has been suggested in England for overcoming some of the disadvantages of the existing systems of carrying passengers Ill large cities. Moving platforms are by no means new and cOntin- uously moving platforms have been advocated for the under ground railways in London. These would consist of three or four platforms, moving at speeds which increased at the rate of about four miles an hour. The passenger would step off a sta- tlonary platform on tn the Dlat- form moving at four miles all hour then on to that which moved at eight miles an hour, then on to the twelvc-milcs-an hour one. and so on. The new system pro- posed is to have series of in- dcpcndcnt cars positively control led and driven by SDirally v threaded shaft. Tho cars engage on the shaft by means of a roller. The shaft is to extend through out the route, and is to be rotated at a constant speed. Consc- quently the speed of the car de- ponds on the pitch of the spiral engaged. Near the stations the pitch would be close together, and between stations the pitch would be six or eight times as great. There would, of course, be a grad uatcd pitch on each side of the station. to allow of gradual ac- icellcration and declination. There could be no collision, as the cars must always bc a con- stanf number of threads away from each other. A working model of inc system ai Ipswich is said by independent engineers who have witnessed it, to work well.

Theory Advanced By Petrified
Wood

Saint Paul, Mimi, Dec. 28. Some
very interesting c"njectures are
opened up in regard to the formation
of the Western Hemisphere by piece
Of petrifed or silicified wood recently
picked up near the right of way of the
Northern Pacific Railway in Yakima
Canyon. Cascade Mountains. Washing
ton. The piece of petrifed wood
which is an unusually good sample of
this interesting phenomenon. was tax
en- from stump some FIVE feet insdi-
ameter and ten feet high, which is
surrounded by lava for height of
about three feet. This stump is not
more than one hundred feet above the
present level Of the Yakima Rivee at
IN elevation above sea level of ap-
Droximately 1850 feet. As no large

trees are to be found now below ar
elevation of 1900 feet above sea lev
ell. it is apparent that some gigantic
alteration in the original scheme Of
creation has taken place in this Sec
ton. Local geologists advance The
suggestion that the Cascade Mountains
may have been formed by compare
lively recent erosion and that prior to
their raising to their present height
the climate of the Northwest east of
the Cascade Mountains, was similar to
that which now exists west of the
Mountains where the influence of the
Pacific Ocean and the Japan current
makes such striking change between
the Coast and territory and the inland
section.
Another interesting exhibit ad-
vanced to strengthen this hypothesis is
found in what is called the Grand
Coulee of Eastern Washington in the
vicinity of Coulee City on the Northern
Pacific. This section was visited by
many persons who unanimously con-
firmed the opinion of the inhabitants
that formerly the Columbia River
flowed in the bed now known as the
Grand Coulee and its course was west
ward toward the Pacific Ocean across
the upper part of the state Of Wash
ington, whereas it's present course
veers sharply to the south and east.
making a gigantic bend and following
the present westerly course which
forms the boundary between the states
of Washington and Oregon. At the
point near where the city Of Portland
is located, the Columbia River aug
mented by the Willamette turns north
ward and flows into the Pacific Ocean
at point considerably above the lat |
itude OF Portland.
1t is q theory seemingly well
founded that the Cascade Mountains
are comparatively recent manifest /
alton of natures changing plans. On |
he other hand, there are many indi- |
cations in the Rocky Mountains to SUBJ
'tantiase the theory that they were the
original backbone of the continents

TARIFF WILL
CONE FIRST
Wilson Confers with Clark
as to the Cabinet.

Trenton, N. j., Dec. 25.-Congress
probably will be called into extraor-
dinary session by President Woodrow
Wilson shortly after his Inauguration,
perhaps on March Is, and the particu-
lar legislation that will come before it
will be tariff revision.
After two hours conference with
Speaker Clark, the president-elect to-
day said he would endeavor to meet the
wishes of democratic leaders in con-
gress who he was Informed, were
anxious that the interval between the
two sessions of congress be as brief as
possible.
While, the speaker said, the time
of the present congress would be con-
sumed with appropriation bills, leav-
ing the bulk of the democratic plat
form pledges to the new congress, he
concurred with Mr. Wilson that the
tariff should be the foremost subject
to come before the special session.
In urging an early meeting of con-
gress, the speaker told Mr. Wilson, he
believed members of congress ought
not to be kept waiting too long be-
tween sessions. The president-elect
did not disclose what names he and

Mr.. Clark discussed for the cabinet.
He said at the outset, however, that
the speaker did not come primed with
suggestions, but rather hesitated to
express himself on the cabinet until
asked, because he considered that a
sort of family relation existed between
the president and his cabinet. -

ion as to seven names, said Mr..
Wilson, land the names w did men

Proposed Work In Glacier Nation
al Park

The Department of the Interior
proposes to spend $l88, 600 on the Gla-
eier National Park during the fiscal
year ending June 50. 1914, if the
amount requested by the Secretary of
the Interior is appropriated by Con-
gress. This is an increase of S113, 600
over the appropriation for the current
fiscal year. The most important work
planned is as follows:
| General improvement of roads,
trails, bridges, and telephone lines
and construction Of an adequate ad-
ministration building, in which to
transact all the local business relat-
ing to the par :. The principal con-
struction work proposed is stage road
from the old town nf st. Mary past
the west shore Of Lower st. Mary
Lake to Swiftcurrent River and
thence along that stream to Lake Ne
Dermott. BY this road visitors can
easily reach Swiftcurrent Pass, Grin
mel Lake, and Iceberg Lake.
Iceberg Lake lies at the foot of
towering cliffs, and the precipices
above the lake are among the most
imposing in the park. All through
the summer great blocks Of ice break
from the glacier that rises 1000 feet
above the lake and go crashing into
the water. At the upper end of the
Grinnell Lake the water from Grinnell
Glacier falls over the cliffs with
deafening noise, and the views from
the lower end of the lake are beauti-
full and inspiring.
For the development and care of
the national parks the Secretary of
the Interior has asked Congress to
appropriate the sum of S733, OIL, an in
crease Of $504. 464 over the appropria-
ton of the current fiscal year. The
national parks constitute ideal recre-
alton grounds for thousands of people,
but their development and use are
seriously retarded by the lack of ade-
quate roads and trails, and until |
sufficient money is appropriated for |
beginning a comprehensive plan of |
development the parks will fall short |
of rendering the important public use
for which they are intended. It is
the intention of the Department to
make the principal places of interest
in the parks more accessible, to render
travelling more comfortable by sprink-
ling the roads throughout the dry sea-
son, and to guard the health of the
traveller by the installation of proper
water supply and sewerage systems
The responsibility for the future con-
duct of the national parks must rest
with Congress, but the Department
feels that the financial needs of these
should be clearly present
ID to Congress in the annual estimates.
A comprehensive list of books and
magazine articles on the national parks
has recently been issued by the De-
1artment of the Interior and may be
obtained on application. /
