PROPHET SAYS MILLIONS
 WILL BE KILLED.
Colored Preacher Says European War
 is to Be Long One.

Mother eating her child was the subject that Rev. Andrew Jones (PropheD spoke on at the Grace Me morial Baptist church Friday evening before a good sized audience.
 He took his text from II Kings, 9th chapter and 18th verse: So we boiled my son, and did eat him; and I said unto her the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath lE d her son. This was brought about, said Prophet Jones, by disobedience to God, and Prophet Jones warned the congre- gation that it is the same God now as then. Since in that time and before that time God warned of the destruc- tion of nations as found in Isaiah 34 and since that part of history has re- peated we need to fear the rest
 Prophet Jones claims it was revealed to him Friday that there would be more than one hundred million men killed before the end of the great Eu- ropean war. It is a long war and God is going to scourge well, and all we can do is to pray for them. God has made great contrast between the righteous and the wicked as shown in the third chapter of Job, 2Ofh verse.
 It was in the home of T. 4. Spivery of No. IF Quarry street, seven years ago, that Prophet Jones made the prophecy that the nations were pre- pairing for war.
 On Sunday afternoon Prophet Jones will speak at Mount Calvary church and in the morning and evening at Grace Memorial Baptist church.

orioin of Electrified Forest"

The "Petrif1ed Forest" of Arizona, really a series of petrified forests, lies short distance south of Adamana, on the line of the Santa Fe Railway. There are four forests" included in a Government reservation called 'Petri- fled Forest National Monument" ere ated by presidential proclamation in 1906. The name forest" is not strictly appropriate, for the petriied tree trunks are all prostrate and are broken into sections. The logs are the re- mains of giant trees that grew in Trassic time, the age of reptiles. The trees were of several kinds. but most of them were related to the Norfolk Island pine, now used for indoor deco ration. Doubtless they grew in a near by region and, after falling, drifted down a, water-courSe and lodged in some eddy or a sand bank. Later they were buried by sand and clay, finally to a depth of several thousand feet. The conversion to stone was effected by gradual replacement of the woody material by silica in the form called chalcedony, deposited by underground water. A small amount of iron oxides deposited at the same time has given the brilliant and beautiful brown, vel low, and red tints which appear in much of the mineral
 Some of the tree trunks are feet in diametere and more than 100 feet in length. In the first forest there is fine trunk that forms a natural bridge over a small ravine, the water having first washed away the overly ing clay and sand and then, following a crevice, worked out the channel underneath. The length of this log is 11G feet, and the diameter 4 feet at the butt and 1 1-2 feet at the top.
 The petrifed woods are beautiful oh- jects for study. When thin slices are carefully ground down to d thickness of 0.003 inch or less and placed under the microscope they show perfectly the original wood structure, all the cells being distinct. though now they are replaced by chalcedony. By studying the sections F. H. I<nowlton, of the United States Geological Sur vey, Department of the Interior, has found that most of these aracarian trees were of the species Auraucari- oXylon arizonicum, tree now extinct It is known to have lived at the same geologic time also in the east central part of the United States, where the remains of some of it's as sociates have also been found. These included other cone bearing trees, tree ferns, cycads, and gigantic horse tails, which indicate that at that time, the rainfall was aburdant.-U, S.. Geo. logical Survey.
