HOW MOUNTAINS ARE FORMED
Earth Crumples Up and Makes Great
Hills Where Plains Once
Lay.

In the region now occupied by the
Wasatch mountains q number of par
allel faults were developed close to-
gether and the broken pieces of the
earth's crust between them were
pushed up, the rocks on one side OF
each crack riding up over those on
the other side until q great mountain
range was formed where once lay a
plain. During the long period of slow
earth movement which made these
mountains, flat-lying parallel beds of
rock were locally turned on edge,
crumpled up and folded in a wonder
fully intricate manner. These up
turned and crumpled rocks are well ex-
posed in Ogden canyon. The west face
of the Wasatch range is believed to
mark q plain of q normal fault at
nearly vertical crack in the earth'S
crust. the rocks on the east side of
which went down. The forces which
have raised these mountains are still
active, for movement along this fault

6UCCUMBS TO HEART DISEASE
WHILE ON A SUMMER
OUTING.
WAS AN APPENDIX EXPERT
knlohted by Pope Benedict for His
Researches In Surgery-Of Late
Years Turned His Attention
To Joint Diseases.

Mackinac Island, Mich.-Dr. John B.
Murphy of Chicago, one of the worlds
most renowned surgeons, died here
suddenly at hotel while on summer
outing. An attack of heart disease
was the immediate cause of death.
DIR. Murphy had been in poor health
for several months and some had as
cribed his condition to the poisoned
soup partaken at the banquet given to
Archbishop Mundelein at the Univer-
sity Club in Chicago last winter. His
wife was with him at the time of his
death.
The famous surgeon, who recently
was knighted by Pope Benedict for
his researches in surgery, was 30 years
old. He first came into international
fame through his specializing in intes-
final disorders and invented what was
known as the Murphy button, making
possible operations which Heretofore
had been deemed impossible. He was
credited by many with being the first
surgeon to perform operations for ap-
pendicitis, such cases previously hav-
Ing gone unoperated as quick consump-
ton or other intestinal disorders.
OF late years DR.. Murphy had turned
his attention to joint disease, which
he treated by the serum method, hav-
ing followed the suggestion that rheu-
matism and other similar disorders
were due to pus centers in the body.
The Murphy button made 1t easy
for any moderately skilled practitioner
to perform the Impossible" operation
of uniting a severed intestine.
