but the bundles are all most
welcome no matter how ancient
the news. 1t is all Of home.
When they come we take a day off
and celebrate. CD Our past few
hours have been spent in almost
literally devouring (?) some of
the recent issues, and We thot
to write you of the enthusiasm
they gave us as sons of the
West-lands. Especially a. e
they comforts to US while en-
gagged in this kind of work which
so taxes the faith and good ma

We also thought it would in
terest some of our home people
and pals to know that we are
laboring together as companions.
This most welcome association
will not last long though we
fear, for conference in two weeks
will bring some decided changes.
Separation, however, or no, our
companionship has been one of
bliss and we truly enjoy remin-
iscence of our past western life
where we virtually suffered and
enjoyed what home and her all
had for us.
We are Arizona's lone repre-
sentatives of this work in Michi-

the missionary force is already
doing country work.
We find much pleasure in our
labors and trust that we may

Gives the Origin Of
Petrifed Tree Trunks

The following account of the
origin of the Petrifed Forest of
Arizona is given in the May
number of the United States
geological survey bulletin:
'"The 'Petrifed Forest of Ari-
zona, really series of petrified
forests, lies a short distance
south of Adamana. on the line
of the Santa Fe railway. There
are four forests included in a
government reservation called
'Petrifed Forest National Monu-
ment. created by presidential
proclamation in 1906. The. name
forest is not strictly appropri
ate, for the petrifed tree trunks
are all PROSTATE and are broken
into sections. The logs are the
remains of giant trees that grew
in Triassic time, the age of rep
tiles. The trees were of several
kinds. but most Of them were
related to the Norfolk island
pine, now used for indoor dec
oration. Doubtless thew grew
in a nearby region and, after
falling, drifted down a water
course and lodged in some eddy
or sand bank. Later they were
buried by sand and clay, finally
to depth of several thousand
feet. Their conversion to stone
was effected by gradual replace
ment of the woody material by
.silicain the form called chalce-
dony, deposited by underground
water. A small amount of iron
oxides deposited at the same
time has given the brilliant and
beautiful brown, yellow and red
tints which appear in much of
the material. The sand and
clay in which these trees were
buried were afterwards washed
away. Some of the tree trunks
are 6 feet in diameter and more
than 100 feet in length. In the
first forest there is a fine trunk
that forms natural bridge over
a small ravine, the water having
first washed away the everything
clay and sand and then, follow
ing a crevice, worked out the
channel underneath. The length
of this log is 10 feet, and the
diameter A feet at the butt and
| II feet at the top.
''Ihe petrifed woods are beau
tifuI objects for study. When
thin slices are carefully ground
down to a thickness of 0.003
inches or less and placed under
the microscope they show per-
fectly the original wood struct-
ure, all the cells being distinct,
though now they are replaced
by chalcedony. BY studying
the selections F. H. Knowlton,
of the geological survey, has
found that most Of these arau-
carian trees were of the special
araucarioxylon arizonicum,
tree now extinct. 1t is known
to have lived at the same geo
logic time also in the east-cen-
tral part Of the United States.
where the remains of some of
its associates 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 of the southwest
