STRANGE WORK OF NATURE.

. One Of the strangest sights in
nature is the petrified forest at Al
bany, in Australia. In that strange
wood, the trees and their branches
are Of gray stone. 1t is suggested
as an explanation of the strange
phenomenon that in the depths Of
past ages the forest was in full vege.
tation,, and: then through some up
.heaval of the earth it was buried in
sand. Little by little water acting
on the sand penetrated the branches
and solidifed. The wood gradually
disappeared under the layer Of stone,
and in time took its form. Then in
succeeding years the winds again car.
ried away the sand, and the forest
appeared anew, but of stone.

the fact that, if days of masculine chivalry
have passed, ladylike and gentle manners
have diminished in accordance, and ever
common courtesy has been impaired.
Half a dozen times in the last two
weeks the writer has seen men rise and

LONELY LIGHTHOUSE.

the most interesting Of latter-day

feet high, the summit Of which bare.

appearance of gigantic iceberg,

WEALTH ALSO MEANS WORTH
Very Rich Seem to Have. Their Own
Troubles, From Which the Poor
Are Happily Freed.

There appears to be almost as
much worry and gloom among rich
Americans this year as there was
three or four winters ago. During
that period the friends of an exceed
ingly wealthy man, noting that he
appeared to be suffering from ex-
treme mental depression, asked the
reason, and he replied ''No wonder
I am feeling blue. l have $1,20o,-
900 in cash lying in bank, on which
l can't get more than four per cent.
interest" !.
A sufficient cause for, worry, no
doubt. Yet there are other rich
persons in equal distress. One of
these, the wife of prominent off
cial of the government, is said to be
greatly worried over her jewels. She
has more of such articles, it is stat
ed, than she can look after, the re-
suit being that she has had to en-
ploy help to care for them. Accord
ingly she has instituted a card cata.
logue system, which gives a record
and description of every piece Of
jewelry she owns, together with
notes showing its need of repairs OF
cleaning. Yet even this help prob
ably cannot relieve the grinding
worry that comes from the sense oj
possession. Il

DON'T BE A FOOD CRANK.

Because you believe in rational

a crank. Don't be always paving
over your food and thinking how it
will work after it gets into your
stomach. That leads to chronic dys-
pepsia-and possibly insanity. What

And the Necessity For cuItivatins the

Speaking is one of those arts which
people seem to think are unnecessary
to study and learn. and the probability
is that most speakers of the kind men
toned are blissfully unaware of their
inaudihility. Doubtless their voice re-
sounds comfortably In the empty
spaces of their own chest and head
and this prevents them from knowing
that 1t does not penetrate to the audi
tory apparatus Of other people.
To be lecturer II is not only neces
sary to know your subject. but the art
of enunciation and audible delivery
needs to be learned also And the
sound of ones voice in ones own ears
is most misleading guide. Such peo-
pie ought to be trained by being made
to read or speak from one end of
large. room to somebody teaching them
at the other end. when they would soon
find out that tones which will pass
muster In a conversation are useless in
a public speech.
