ONCE CYPRESS FOREST
Stumps of Colossal Trees Found
in Washington Excavation.
Preserved Through Period Of Tins
That Antedates Earliest Historical
Records BY at Least 10000
Years.

Washington. Forty centuries look
down upon you," said Napoleon to his
army, drawn up before the pyramids
in Egypt. In Washington today 200,
perhaps 800, centuries look up at you.
They look from the stumps of colossal
cypress trees thai grew 80 feet below
the present level of the ground, away
back in the geological past when the
world was still in the making-eveii
before the age of the last advance Of
the ice sheet which once covered the
northern part of the continent.
When the steam shovelers, who are
excavating the great pit for the
Walker hotel on Connecticut avenue,
began to strike stumps and logs OF
trees that were neither decayed nor
fossilized. they thought they were out
of luck, but when the numerous
biologists and biologists of Washing
ton heard of the discovery they consid
cred that they were in luck. Groups
Of scientific men almost daily watch
the progress of the excavation and
marvel at the manner in which stumps,
knees" trunks, seeds, small branches
and even leaves of the wood eternal
have been preserved throughout a
period of time that antedates the
earliest historical records by at least
10000 years.
The trees themselves may represent
thousand years. Their remains are
found In three more or less distinct
horizontal zones in what was at one
time swamp. Thus ii appears that
perhaps first one, then another and
finally a third generation of giant
expresses, probably at least 200 years
old, followed each other as the swamp
gradually filled up.
Scores of stumps were found In the
excavation, which covers an area of
about an acre and a half, that were
not less than six feet In diameter.
Many were found between six and
fourteen feet and the workmen assert
that some of the fragments Of stumps
