ORIGIN OF SCENIC FEATURES
OF GLACIER PARK

The processes that have produced
the mountains and valleys Of Glacier
National Park are described in a
pamphlet by Mr.. NJ r Campbell, that
has just been issued by direction Of
Secretary Lane. Glacier National
Park is situated in Montana, just
south Of the Canadian boundary, and
within the borders of the park is a
bewildering maze Of rugged peaks,
glaciers and beautiful valleys studded
with innumerable lakes
The dominant feature Of the park
s broad mountain range, trending in
a northwest-s southeast direction. On
both sides of this range are areas of
low relief, the Great Plains on the
east and the broad valley of Flathead
river on the west. On the west the
ascent to the top of the mountain is
gradual, passing through series, Of
ridgesand spurs of greater and great
or attitudes until finally the crest of
range is attained, but on the east the
change is abrupt from the even sur
face of the gently sloping plains to the
rugged heights of the mountains In
most other regions there is wide
belt of foothills through which the
traveller has to pass before he
reaches the mountains proper, but on

Glacier Park there are no such fea-
lures to consume the travellers energy
and he passes at once from the smooth
treeless plains to alpine scenery, en-
bracing rugged peaks, glaciers, water

every valley heading into the range.

FOSSIL FORESTS OF THE
YELLOWSTONE PARK

In the \ elloWstone National Park
twelve successive forests, one on top
of another, have been buried by out
flows of lava, and petrifed, according
to q pamphlet entitled Fossil For
ests of Yellowstone National Park
by F. H. Knowlton, just issued by the
direction Of secretary Lane "While
these fossil forests were growing and
being entombed, says Mr.. Knowlton
much Of the area now within the park
was the scene of tremendous geolog-
zeal activities. There were many &C.
tive volcanoes just east, north and
west of the park, and some Of the park
itself. From these volcanoes vast
quantities of material We're poured out
building up in places whole mountain
ranges. Within the park there is evil
dence Of similar volcanic activity. The
area within which the fossil forests
are now found was apparently in the
beginning an irregular but relatively
fat basin, on the floor Of which after
time there grew the first forest.
Then there came from some Of the vol
canoes, probably those to the north, an
outpour5ng of ashes, mud flows and
other material which entirely buried
the forest, but so gradually that the
trees were simply submerged by the
incoming material, few of them being
prostrated On the raised floor Of the
basin, after time, the next forest
came into existence, only to be in
turn engulfed as the first had been,
and SO on through the period represen-
ed by the two thousand feet CT more
of similar beds. The whole history
Of the manner in which these forests
were fossilized is not fully understood,
but it is undoubtedly dependent on or
at least greatly facilitated by the pre-
sence Of volcanic and hyhrothermal
activity, which was doubtedless then,
as it is to some extent now, a marked
feature Of the park region. The fossil
forests are surrounded by a nlatriX
that is known as an acidic lava-that
is, siliceous lava,-which contains
abundant silica in solution. The first
part Of the process of silicification
may we'll have been that silica would
be deposited in all the cells and vessels
of the wood, making an accurate cast
of all open spaces. Then, while the
slow process of decay went on, as each
particle of organic matter was remov-
ed it's place was taken by the silica,
until, finally, all the wood substance
had disappeared and its place, atom by
atom had been taken by the silica.

tanned from the Superintendent of
documents, Government Printing Office

tains Is illustrations of the fossil for
ests, detailed descriptions of.the local
tiles where the petrified trees are
found, a discussion of the age Of the
forests, and an account Of the climatic
conditions in the park when the trees
were growing.

THE WAR is ON

long expected, is in progress. L
is Austria Hungary and Germany
against Servia, Russia anc
France, with the chances good
that England will be drawn into
the conflict, and Italy may also
be forced to lend her assistance
to the other parties to the triple
alliance-Germany and Austria.
In other words, it looks now
as if it would be a war between
the German and Slavic races in
Europe, augmented with the
English and Latin speaking
countries. It will be an awful
sacrifice of life and property and
the outcome, no matter who
wins, terrible to contemplate.
This war has been brewing for
more than 100 years. The dis
satisfaction caused by the obliter-
alton of kingdoms in the past
has smouldered until at last it
has burst into flame and all the
indignities of the ages are being
used to fan the flames. 1t will
be a war to restore ancient king
doms as we'll as to increase the
power and sovereignty now held
by the so-called great powers of
Europe. Each of the great
powers is composed of separate
people, all amalgamated into the
several empires or kingdoms now
dominating Europe. Superior
force has enabled the stronger
states to control the weaker ones,
and while snlarting under the
oppression, have been poWerless
to prevent their individual ma
tons becoming parts Of stronger
considerations. They have been
compelled to submit to what has
been a virtual obliteration of
their national identity. Love of
country and nationality has al
ways been an inheritance handed
down to mankind and no laws or
force has been strong enough to
annihilate this sentiment. 1t is
10 wonder then that race preju-
dice exists and with it a desire
to throw off the yoke of non
identity and establish themselves
again in their former nations and
governments.
With all this, there is still an
other force which has caused
much of the discomfort. Prac-
tically all the ruling dynasties of
Europe are closely related. The
kings, emperors, czars, and
minor heads Of governments are
either cousins, uncles, or aunts
of the other and this state Of
affairs has caused the other
members Of royalty to become
jealous and feel that they are
being deprived Of some Of the
rights they claim birth has given
them. This condition has also
been the cause Of much discon-
tent among the peasantl'y Of all
Europe. They have become
more educated and with it has
come the thought that birth alone
should not give to a favored few
the right to rule regardless of
their ability and knowledge. The
theory of government is as much
at stake in the war now in pro-
gress as any other one thing,
and it will not be surprising that
when the end comes there will
be less kingdoms and more re-
publics in the old world.
We of the United States may
indeed be fortunate. Although
our population is made up of the
races which are now at war with
each other, no sinister effect is
felt among all the people. The
man Of one nationality here has
no hard feelings toward the man
of another nationality across the
ocean, even though their re-
