They May Account For Ships That
 Vanish and Leave No Trace.
 Admittedly the worst danger menac- ing transatlantic travellers in modern days, with steamers of such speed as are plying on the Atlantic, is that of collision with an iceberg in a dense fog. -.....
 Most probably some ships that van ish are sent to the bottom by the over turning of bergs from the impact of collision. The corrosive action of salt water on the submerged mass, with the play of the sun on the exposed portion, often produces such delicate ly balanced berg that the touch of mans hand will upset it. Often New foundland fishermen cutting fragments from bergs to pack round their bait or catch of fish are destroyed by the huge masses rolling right over, sending men and boats to the bottom in minia. ture maelstrom.
 Imagine then the result when pow erful ocean steamer, travelling at the rate of twenty to twenty-five knots an hour. hurls her vast bulk against rampant of Ice which suddenly looms up through the fog right across the route she must go. It is too late tc stop her, no change of helm will bring her clear; those on board can only pray that the berg will stand firm against the shock. If so, the ship may escape with a battered bow. but if the berg upsets 1t is easy to understand the appalling consequences of thou sand tons of weight falling on a ship or smashing in her underbody as 1, swings up beneath her.-American Re view of Reviews.

 The petrified forest of Arizona. really series of petrified forests. lies short distance south of Adamana, on the line of the Santa Fe railway. There are four forests. included in government reservation called Petrifed Forest Ma tional Monument, created by presiden tial proclamation in l9OG.
 The name forest is not strictly ap- propriate. for the petrifled tree trunks are all prostrate and are broken into sections. The logs are the remains of giant trees that grew in triassic time. the age of reptiles.
 The trees were of several kinds, but most of them were related to the Nor folk island pine. now used for indoor decoration. Doubtless they grew in q nearby region and, after falling, drift ed down a watercourse and lodged in some eddy, or 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 Sfauuai Fepideeheht oi the "oous 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 material.
 Some of the tree trunks are six fee; in diameter and more than 100 feet in length. In the first forest there is 2 fine trunk that forms a natural bridge over a small ravine, the water having first washed away the overlying clay and sand and then, following crevice. worked out the channel underneath. The length of this log is no feet and the diameter four feet at the butt and one and a half feet at the top.-United States Geological Survey.

war between the states:
OF all the Union leaders In eastern
Tennessee few were better known
than "Parson" Brownlow. the editor OF
the fiercely partisan Wing and after
the war the governor Of the state. His
courage had beer tried and proved.
The people Of eastern Tennessee could
not believe that he would give way be-
fore the enemy. But when Burnside
retreated before Longstreet word was
sent to the most prominent Unionists
of Knoxville that 1t would be wise for
them to seek safety. Accordingly some
of them left under cavalry escort for
Kentucky. Among them was Brown
low.
Through the miry roads, In a heavy
downpoor Of rain, the melancholy pro-
cession went. Early In the night they
came upon a cabin out of which
swarmed a host of children, with their
stout mother at their head holding high
q pine torch.

One of the party answered mildly
that General Burnside. so far from re-
treating, was probably a prisoner with
all his army.
"And you are running away b ex

"Oh, no." said an ironic old gentle
man. I'VE are retiring In good order to

Benson Lumber and Commercial Go.
BENSON, ARIZONA r

In every town are vacant lots
with varied rubbish numbered, pro-
ducing cheap forget-me nots and
cockleburs unnumbered. Year after
year they go to seed, when autumn
winds are signing, and every brand
of noxious weed thereon is multi
plying. If all those vacant lots
were sown to parsnips, spuds and
carrots, less often would we hear
men groan in lumber stricken gar
rets. And here we see the nations S
vice, the waste that has no ending;
economy can cut no ice while we
have coin for spending. Why plow
the weed grown neighborhood and
tater? Our stand-off at the store IS
good; we'll think of such schemes
later. All winter, in our little town
some folks were nearly starving;
some charity was handed down,
some roosters for their carving. But
not a lesson have they learned,
their future:course to sWeeten the
coal we handed them is burned, the
grub we gave is eaten. The spring
is here-why look ahead? Why
get the spade and grind it? And
when again they're needing bread,
the town will have to find it.
