and is now supposed to have been

dancers formed circles hand in hand
and appearing to have lost all reason
continued dancing. regardless of the
bystanders, for hours together until in
their wild delirium they fell to the
ground in sheer exhaustion. Painting
and foaming at the mouth, they would
suddenly spring up and begin the
dance again, to be again exhausted.

to note that manners" was the name

TRUE FOSSIL FORESTS.
Yellowstone Parks Array Of Stony
Relics Of Volcano Activity.

nSuC8 u VOlVAtO VSS'VsSys
Remarkable fossil forests exist In
Yellowstone park, the most remark
able, it is believed, of the several fossil
forests which have been discovered
there are others in Egypt, in California
and in Acknowledgements in the yell
lowstone most Of the trees were en-
tombed in their original upright posi-
don and not found recumbent and scat
tered about the ground.
In Arizona, for instance, the fossil
lied trunks have evidently been car
ried 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 hill
sides, just as they stood when they
were living. In fact, it is difficult at q
little distance to distinguish some of
these fossil trunks from the lichen COW
cred stumps Of kindred living species.
Such an aggregation of. fossil trunks 10
therefore we'll entitled to be called a
true fossil forest.
1t should not be supposed, however.
that these trees still retain their limbs
and similar branches. for the mass Of
volcanic material falling on them strip.

a queen VINO Waa ! kina.

Only once in the history of the world
has queen been officially known as a
king This was in Hungary. when the
Hungarians gave the name of king to
their Queen Mary in order to avoid
the infamy which the laws Of that
country cast upon those who are gov
erned by women. She bore the title of
King Mary till her marriage with Sigis-
mund. After that she took the title of
queen.

Before the stanch advocates for a civic cen
ter can realize their ideal, there is much work
to be done, even though the biggest part Of
the campaign has triumphed in the selection
of the Irwin site for the new federal building.
The construction of a city hall comes next
in the point of public necessity, and the acqui-
sition of the gore lot at the junction of King
and Merchant streets is now in order. Possibly
there will be dissenters "set' enough in their
Convictions and strong enough in their nAu-
ence to delay the building of new city hall
for years on grounds other than those of finan-
cial inability Such delay would be mean
spirited Honolulu has had too much factional
fighting over public improvements. As to the
finances, the present inadequate, city hall, =
with scattered offices blocks away, is so no
toriously unworthy municipality of more
than $4,000 population that a change is highly
desirable. Almost every taxpayer would ae-
quiesce in the issuance of bonds to pay for a
new city hall, but tiea probably will not be
necessary. The city can raise the cash or Sc.
cure it by legislative enactment to utilize pros
pecfive funds, and if the proposed Bishop es-
tate territory city transfer of property goes
Through, the gore site will be acquired for al
most no money expense.
