FAVORITE DISH in MEXICO
Hot TamaIes Worth Introduction Into
American Mathematician They
Should Be Made.

The Mexican recipe for making hot
tamales is TO cook one or w chick
ems until tender. Remove all meat
from the bone, shred It in the chop
ping machine and add to it the liquor
in which the chicken has been
cooked. This is seasoned with any
desired condiments. especially red
pepper. and thickened with cornmeal.
The rolls are about the size of link
sausages and they are wrapped in the
inner husks of green corn. Tie the
husks with strings at each end and
boil them for three hours. 1t is best
to taste the preparation before add
ing meal to note whether it is rich
or needs more seasoning, allowing for
the meal to be added, which will take
up the sharp flavor.
To make tamale pie, take one pound
of hamburg steak or leftover meat
cut fine, add one level cupful Of seed
ed r~aisins, one dozen stoned olives,
salt, pepper and red pepper to taste.
Stew until tender and thicken with
one tablespoonful of cornmeal. Then
stir n and one-half cupfuls of corn
meal into boiling sailed water, add
one tablespoonful of shortening and
cool to the consistency of mush. Line
a buttered baking dish with about
two-thirds of this mixture, pour in
the meat, cover with the remaining
mixture and bake for one-half hour

FOSSIL FOREST IN AMERICA
Yellowstone Park Contains One Of the
Most Remarkable Of Natural
curioslties.

Remarkable fossil forests exist in
Yellowstone park. the most remark
able, it is believed, of the several fos-
sill forests which have been discovered
there are others in Egypt. in Cali
fornia and in Arizona-because In the
Yellowstone nos of the trees were
entombed in their original upright po-
sition and not found recumbent and
scattered about the ground.
In Arizona, for instance, the fos-
silized trunks have evidently been car
ried a long distance from where they
originally grew.
In the Yellowstone the trees now
stand where they grew, and where
they are entombed by the outpouring
of various volcanic materials.
Now as the softer rocks surrounding
them are gradually worn away they
are left standing erect on the steep
hillsides Just as they stood when they
were living; in fact, it is difficult at
a little distance to distinguish some OF
these fossil trunks from the lichen-
covered stumps OF kindred living spe-
cies. Such an aggregation of fossil
trunks is therefore well entitled to be
called a true fossil forest.
It should not be supposed. however,
that these trees still retain their limbs
and smaller branches, for the mass of
volcanic material falling on them
stripped them down to bare. upright
trunks.
