ORIGINAL "Lone Tree"

There was an immense cottonwood,
four feet thick and very tall, which
stood in Nebraska almost In the CEN
ter of the continent, half way between
New York and San Francisco, which
was within one mile of that center.
Under Its branches rested thousands
OF '49-ers en- route to. the Eldorado of
the Pacific coast. It was the best
known camping ground on the old
California TRAIL From 1s49, when the
gold seekers rushed across the great
plains down to the completion of the
Union Pacific railway, the great tree
was guidepost to the wagon trains
going west.
After the railway was completed
there was no further use for the old
tree and it eventually rotted away and
died. In 1910 monument was
erected on the spot that the tree had
occupied. 1t represents the trunk of
IA giant cottonwood and bears this in
scription: ION this spot stood the
original Lone Tree ON the old Call
fornia trail"

Australian Water Holes.

A curious form of water hole Is
found in the deserts of western Aus
tralia, dry by day but yielding an
abundant supply of water by night.
The flow of water is preceded by
weird kissing and sounds of rushing
air. On examining one it was found
that the water supply occurred in a
long narrow trench, at the bottom of
which was thin plate of gnelss, sep
arated by cavity from the main rock
mass beneath. Apparently the heat
of the day causes this plate to ex-
pand In the form of depression, In
which the water retreats. When II
cools and contracts at night it forces
first air and then water back into the
trench.

sentenced to life imprisonment on Dew

by court martial on a charge of SELL

lowing the confession of Colonel Hen

CONSERVATION VICTORY.

While the attention of the world has
been centered on the destruction II
human life in the great armies fighting
in Europe one American has unosten-
tatiously pushed his battle against one
of the greatest decimators of the human
race-yellow fever Recently Major
General Gorgas, formerly surgeon gen
eral of the United States army, re.
turned from Guayaquil, Ecuador. where
he had completely suppressed an out.
break of yellow fever. This is the
last place where the disease has ar
peared and now it has been exterminat-
ed from that point. The world is free
from this deadly disease, the result of
the long and ardous effort of Major
General Gorgas.
The danger of this disease is shown
in the deaths it has caused in the past
In 1921 during an epidemic at BARGE
Iona, Spain, 5000 persons died. AT
Lisbon in 1857 more than 5000 persons
died in a few weeks In New Orleans
1910 people died in the year 1853, from
yellow fever, 1908 in 1867, and 4,05f
in 1886.
The public is aware of the fight that
has been made against the disease.
how scientists first discovered that il
was parasite disease, then its csr
rier and finally the means of DESTROY
ing that carrier, the mosquito known
as the stegomyia.
Perhaps the greatest victory of Gen
eral Gorgas was on the Isthmus o.
Panama where he completely destroyed
the disease carrying mosquito and mad,
