MAKING OF THE YELLOWSTONE
How Its History is Written in Its
PIateaus, Mountains, Petrified
Trees and Lava.

To comprehend what we have in the
Yellowstone, we must begin with its
making. The entire region is of vol
canic origin. The mountains around
1t on both sides and the mountains
within 1t are products or remainders
of great volcanoes Of the far past; and
the great plateaus, from which spring
its geysers and hot springs and through
whose forests now roam so many wild
animals, are composed of the ash and
disintegrated lavas which were once
elected from these volcanoes. OF
course the plains are now all deep with
soil. But such evidences of the past as
the black volcanic glass of the Obsidian
Cliff and the fantastic whorled lava
rocks of Mount Washburn are plain to
the least instructed eye.
One particularly fascinating glimpse
of YeIlowstone's tempestuous past is
afforded in the petrified forest of the
Specimen Ridge neighborhood, where
many levels of upright pet-ified trunks

an escarpment more than 100 miles
long and so precipitous that it can be

this monument. It consists of red
sandstone 1000 to 1000 feet thick and
overlaid by 1000 feet of glistening
white sand. These two form single
cliffs nearly 5000 feet high. These re-
markable walls bear evidence that the
sand gathered in desert in ages long
past-that here was great prehistoric
American Sahara.
"The second feature of unusual In
terest lies Immediately above the sand,
for the desert was destroyed by the in
curSion of sea water, which covered
the drifting sand and buried it beneath

may be found alternating, like the lay
ers In cake, with levels of lava !:
which plainly shows that, after the
first forest grew on the volcanoes slope
and was engulfed by a fresh run of
lava, enough time elapsed for a second
forest to grow upon that level; and
that this, in turn, was engulfed with
new lava to make the level for another
forest. and so on. There is a cliff 1000
feet high composed wholly of these al
ternate levels of engulfed forests and
the lavas which engulfed them.
In magnificent contrast with the vol
canic plateau and its border of volcanic
mountains there rises from the plains.

Mighty Cleft In Mountains.
The principal canyon, which is more
than 10 miles long and varies from so

wide in other portions, is a mighty
cleft, as if the mountain had been
violently riven asunder. The walls
are inconceivably carved into domes,

cage, while three camera. operators
ground away at their machines. No
sooner had the trainer stepped within
and closed the door back of him when
the lion sprang forward and with
single sweep of the paw knocked him
down. Cahill turned face downward
and the animal pounced, catlike, upon
places.
Cahill struggled to his feet and
faced the lion, but it was not to be
quelled by a look. 1t sprang again,
and the trainer once more went down,
but this time he managed to get his
arms around the beasts neck and
wrestle with it. Thus he kept away
from the claws, but the lion, snap
ping from side to side, bit through
both his cheeks.
Meanwhile there was much excite
ment among a large group of actors
and actresses who had assembled to
watch the picture in the making Sew
eral of the women tainted, and others
ran away shrieking. No one seemed
to know what to do until one of the
camera men seized a fire extinguisher
and shot the acid contents into the
beasts mouth and eyes. This halted
its attack for moment, but then 1t
shook it's great head and pounced back
upon Cahill, this time ripping his
chest.
A Daring Rescue.
John G. Abbott, Jr., a stage carpen-
ter, was working outside the building
when the screams OF the women
reached his ears. He realized that
something probably had happened to
the lion act, and ran within, grabbing
as he went long-handled ak.
Several persons tried to restrain ABB
bott, but he pushed them aside, opened
the door of the cage and ran at the
lion with his ak. Before the animal
recovered from its surprise Abbott bat
ted it on the head and 1t backed away
from the PROSTATE Cahill. Abbott
swung again and landed on the beasts
skull. This partially stunned it and
third blow laid it out helpless. Then
the carpenter seized Cahill's legs and
dragged him to safety outside the
cage.
