Dogs Have Their Rights.

Canine Defense league Is rejoicing In
the decision of ii police court magis-
trate in London that ii is illegal to
chain a dog for an excessive length of

against the owner of a dog of claiming

that he ill-treated the animal In any

Though the New York State Court

persists in the minds of some of Mrs.

The various litigations attacking the
Trinity church title were all based on
technical Irregularities in grants of
conveyances, such as the absence of
seal or signature, or on allegations
that the grantors themselves had no

ton.

URUGUAYAN "GAUcH0" GONE
Natural Evolution Has Resulted In
Disappearance of Most Pic
turesque Character.

While the Uruguayan "gaucho" was
a full-blooded Indian, in the Argentine
the name was extended to designate
the halfbreeds and creoles who led the
romantic cowboy life Of the great
plains. Here the "gaucho" became in
distinguishable from the "paisano" or
''countryman" of the American South
west, or the 'ranchero' type of the
Mexican agricultural states. Naturally
he then became the enemy of the In
dams, a man of peace withal, though
somewhat turbulent peace, forerunner
of the great modern agriculturist.
In this evolutionary stage, in the
middle of the last century, the Argen-
tine "gaucho," with his characteristic
poncho long boots. tight pants, long
hair tied back about the head, his kerr
chief at his neck, and his high, narrow
brimmed hat, lent a barbaric note Of
color to the formation of the rural ele-
ments of the embryonic nation Sub
jecting himself to wage service on the
great estates, he came to be civilized,
and being so, he arrived gradually at
the extinction which civilization effects
for all outstanding individualistic
types.

FOSSIL FORESTS IN AMERICA
This Country Has Three of the Four
That Are Certainly Known
to Exist.

There are only four fossil forests"
areas in the world, three of which are
In the United States, the other being
near Cairo, Egypt OF the fossil for
ests in the United States, one is near
Calistoga, CAL, several extensive for
ests are in the Petrifed Forest Ma
uonal monument, Arizona, and the
others are those in Yellowstone Ma
tional park.
Though the whole history Of the
process of fossilization is not fully I'M
derstood, it is probably dependent
upon entombment of the trees In ma
terials saturated with water containing
a considerable amount of silica In solu-
ton. This silica-charged water was
drawn up into the wood by capillarity,
the silica being deposited in the cells
and vessels of the wood after the wa
ter evaporated, making an accurate
cast of all open spaces. Then, while
the slow process of decay went on, as
each particle Of organic matter was re-
moved, its place was taken by the silica
until finally all the wood substance
had disappeared and it's place atom by
atom had been taken by silica.
The forests of the Petrified Forest
monument are geologically much older
than the others; those near Cairo,
Egypt, are believed to be the youngest.
The Arizona forests belong probably
to the Triassic period. Therefore
these trees may have been buried be-
tween 100000 and 100000 years
ago.

RED CORAL USED AS DRUG
Belief in Efficacy Originated in Old
Times and Only Comparatively
Recently Was Abandoned.

The red coral of the Mediterranean
sea is mentioned by some of the ear
Hest of the Greek writer's. Orpheus of
Thrace mentions it in poem as
valuable remedy for the sting of scor-
pions and for snake bites, and it's mys-
teal origin is described by Ovid. The
myth that the coral is soft in the water
and becomes hard when exposed to the
air persisted until the Seventeenth CEN
fury. 1t was used in early times by
the Mediterranean races not only as a
jewel and as an amulet for resisting
destinations, and as an antidote for
the stings of scorpions, but, according
to Diosorides, 1t was used as a medi-
cine for the splitting of blood and for
dysentery.
Red coral, powdered and burnt, was
regarded as very valuable drug for
almost every kind of disease during
the Seventeenth century, and it re-
