GREAT FOUNTAIN GEYSER.
One of the Many Wonders In the Vel. tovvstone National Park.

One of the Many Wonders In the Vel.
 iowstons National Park.
 The Great Fountain geyser, in the Yellowstone National park, lies mile and a half southeast of the Fountain geyser. It Is the chief wonder of the lower basin and in some respects the most remarkable geyser in the park. It's formation is quite unlike that of any other.
 At first sight the visitor is tempted to believe that some one has here placed a vast pedestal upon which to erect a monument. It is broad, cir- cular table about two feet high com. posed of hard, siliceous deposit In It's surface are numerous pools, nodded and ornamented in a manner quite un. approachable. at least on so large a scale. in any other part of the park. In the center of the pedestal. where the monument ought to stand, is a large irregular pool of great depth. full of hot water, forming to all appear. ances lovely. quiescent spring.
 At times of eruption the contents of this spring are hurled bodily upward to a height sometimes reaching 700 feet The torrent of water which fol- lows the prodigous downpouring upon the face of the pedestal flows away In all directions over the white geyserite plain. No visitor to the Yellowstone can afford to miss the Great Fountain geyser. "The Yellowstone National Park" by Hiram Martin Chittenden. Brigadier General United States Army, Retired.

Paess of Geological History That Ns.
 ture Has Destroyed.
 New details are continually being added by geologists to the known his, tory of the earth, including the devel- opment of plants and animals. How. ever, that history, which is recorded in the rocks, Is still fragmentary, like a badly mutilated book. One of the great defects in the record in the Atlantic and gulf coastal plain regions of this country is the absence of the later part of the cretaceous and the early part of the eocene chapters-perhaps eight to ten millions years ago. A report by the geological survey discusses this missing part of the record and shows that the break must cover very long period of time.
 It is known that at that time the continents were at least as large as and probably larger than they are now. and the oceans were accordingly small CT. Any rocks that were then formed in the sea seem to have been weather ed and washed away. Hundreds of kinds of plants and animals that lived before and hundreds that lived after this great period are known. but not one which lived during the period. Strange to say. few if any of the spe. cies which existed before the unknown period lived through 1t.
 It is like a play ill which the places of one act remain the same as in the preceding but che characters are all new. and yet many of the new play CTS resemble the old ones so much that one is compelled to admit that they are close relatives. In each of the states bordering the Atlantic ocean are lay CTS of rock which were formed be- fore and after the period whose record Is missing. In these layers are entomb. ed sea shells of many kinds, but ap- parently not one species lived through from cretaceous to eocene time.

Cotton Losses Heavy.

It will be seen that the greatest increases in exports were in bread
 stuffs, horses and mules, meat pro- ducts and automobiles The most important losses in exports were in cotton ($234, 4,OOO,OO0), in iron and steel character and in agricultural imple- ments. Turning to the import side of the account, we find that nearly all the principle items show serious declines, especially in silk manufac- lures, cotton manufactures, linens, copper, precious stones, art works, etc. The only increases of any i'm portance in imports were in sugar, wool and rubber. These figures prove port traffic has not been generally ap- preciated. Its effect upon customs revenue is important, and if con- tinued will next winter force some new form of taxation, and possibly a readjustment of the tariff. Under the circumstances, it would seem folly to cut off the $5O,0OO,O00 of sugar revenue, which has always been cas- eily collected and slightly felt. The returns of foreign trade for the next few months will undoubtedly show much larger exports. A good demand for our foodstuffs is practically cer- tain, and their outward movement will soon begin. So, too, will the large shipments of war munitions, which up to date have been more or less restricted. A very satisfactory clam emf in our export trade is a. re- vival in the foreign demand for legiti- mate export of steel prdoucts to vari- ous parts of the world, including South America, which had "temporar- fly withdrawn from the European

 The George Washington Memorial association has started it's campaign to. raise $2,500,00O for the erection and maintenance of a National Civic hall to be known as the George Washington Memorial building. in Washington. The bill authorizing the erection of this building was passed during the Sixty-second Congress. when building site of several acres was set apart for the erection of a. group of buildings in the development of Mall extending from the capitol to the Lincoln Memorial.
 The National Civic hall will contain the headquarters of patriotic scienti- f1c, educational, and other organiza- tions of national scope. There will be number of assembly halls, the large est of which will accomodate at least 5000 persons, and besides these halls for meeting, there will be re- served for each of the states which provides it's quota, room to be know by the state name in which it may exhibit it's resources. The sum required for the erection and main tcnance of this building has been ap- portioned among the various states. Up to the present time, Al state have indicated their readiness to cooper ate.

Green Cor 'n-How To Eat It. (Battle Creek Moon-Journal.)

The world is able to classify a man by two things-his table manners and the style of his hand baggage. For instance if in your travels you en- counter an individual at a hotel who can cover his knife with mashed po- tatoes to the hilt and then get them all off without injury to his tonsils, you immediately have this mans so- cial number. On the other hand, if he carries a canvas telescope or knee knocker" reinforced by a part of his wifes clothes line, then you are also able to classify him properly. ,,'.
 You may have an inkling of a mans "bringing up'' by the tools he chooses in eating his pie, or by the manner in which he muffles his ex- haust in eating soup. Yet when it comes to green corn, every known rule is violated.
 Some ways for eating certain things are planned for economic reasons Thus the country hotel keeper serves his olives in bottle and expects you to get them out with your fingers. He also furnishes you with possibly a grapefruit or orange in the morning and expects you to keep your ears clean with a paper napkin. There are recognized ways of taking soup into the system and these ways all call for limit to the noise zone.
 But when folks, even the most re- fined folks-folks that won't even per- init poodle to sleep with them-start in on their boiled corn part of the menu, past precedence is thrown to the winds The book of rules is con- sig,fed with all other etiquette to a warmer place and every man is con- tent to get his corn off the cob in the fastest and most convenient way iri which he is able to operate.
