SCIENCE TN INDUSTRIAL ERA

mately Kill the Pure Desire for
knowledge.

wireless Is of great practical i'm
portance. 1t facilitates slaughter in
war. the dissemination of journalistic
falsehood in time Of peace, and the
DrOadcasting of trivialities to relieve
the tedium of evening hours not de-
voted to success. But the men who
made 1t possible-Faraday, Maxwell
and Hertz-were none of them the
least interested in furthering this re-
markable enrichment of human life !;
they were men solely interested in
trying to understand physical proc
esses. and 1t can hardly be said that
the existence of industrialism helped
them even indirectly. The modern
study of the structure of the atom
may have profound effect upon in
dustrial processes, but those who are
engaged upon it are very little inter-
ested In this possible future effect of
their work. 1t seems likely that the
utllitarianism of commercial indus
try must ultimately kill the pure de-
sire for knowledge just as it kills
the very analogous artistic impulse. In
America, where the more utilita.

preciated. no great advance in pure
theory has been made None of the
fundamental discoveries upon which
practical applications depend have
been made in America. 1t seems prob
able that, as the point of view appro-

THE STONE FOREST
By T. T. MAxEY

The wonders of the earth on which
we live, and particularly that portion
which we call America, are intensely
interesting. The forest turned to
stone" in Apache county, Arizona, is
one of the natural wonders of Amer
yea. Congress so concluded, at the
same time putting to end the ma
hclous acts of those who were hostile
TO the preservation of its treasures,
when In 1906 it passed IAN act for

ties" President Roosevelt placed the
forest under the protection of the gov
eminent, designating it ''The Petrified
Forest National mOnument'-for the
perpetual enjoyment of the people.
Here, at an elevation of about one
mile above sea level, lying in the open
and scattered over thousands of acres
and in all conceivable positions, is a
profusion of millions Of tons of fallen
trees turned to stOne-agate, jasper,

operated to produce these changes.
The general supposition seems to-
be that In time far beyond the reach
of record-a million or more years
ago, giant woodland f1ourished here.
Some great catastrophe. most likely
an earthquake, moved it down and, in
the reshaping of the earth's crust, an
inland lake or sea was formed above
this sunken forest. Seepage from
springs of salt, sulphur and other min
eral content penetrated every fiber OF
this wood-the prolonged period of
saturation gradually picking the
wood to stone.
At length, another age was ushered
ln. An upEeaval as tremendous as it
was mysterious awakened this Sleep

belched up to the top of the earth
again, to a place in the Arizona sun.
There are three divisions of this
forest. The first, famous for it's bright
colors, is six miles from Adamana:
the second is two and one-half miles
farther on. Here the trees are large

Horseshoes of Paper.

1t has been proposed TO make a pa.
per horseshoe that shall for general
purposes be the equal Of the steel ar.
ticle in the following way: Parch-
ment paper is cut into horseshoe form
and built up to a suitable thickness
by the use of mixture of turpen-
tine, Spanish white shellac and lin
seed oil treated with litharge, and the
whole is placed under hydraulic
press. This produces very light and
uniform pieces and it is an easy mat
ter to stamp out the nail holes and
grooves. Instead Of mailing to the
horses hoof they can be applied with
an adhesive composition whose prin-
c1pal part is solution of rubber in
bisulphide of carbon. Paper waste
could also be nodded into the shape
OF a horseshoe by use Of the press, but
the result is not so good as with the

STATE AUTO CLUB TO
HELP ADVERTISE STATE

Recognizing the fact that building
new highways in Arizona is changing
the flow of automobile travel across
the state Manager Wilbur Treadwell
is steadily building up the Automobile
Club of Arizona to be factor in di-
recting automobile traffic within the
state.
The building of the Oak Creek
highway and the erection of steel
bridge over the Colorado river at
Ehernburg will shorten the travel dis
tance between the east and and Pacific
coast points materially and we may
expect to see much of the westbound
travel over the National Old Trails
leave that road at Flagstaff and take
the route through Jerome, Prescott,
Wickenburg to California.
Manager Treadwell sees that proper
advertising of the scenic beauties of
Arizona will tend to increase the num-
Der Of automobile parties making side
trips while crossing Arizona and has
arranged with Robert E. Ames, an
experienced out-of-door motion picture
director, to tour the state with a
properly equipped party for the pur-
pose of photographing scenic Arizona
and preparing films for use in eastern
moving picture houses. a
The beautiful drive up the San
Francisco peaks, Mormon lake, the
White mountain forest scenery, visits
TO such picturesque places as Snow
flake with its time-hallowed traditions
of pioneer struggles of the early Nor
mon settlers.
Manager Tread#ell believes that a
few thousand feet of such film circu
ating over large motion picture cir
cults will be of great advertising value
to Arizona, by giving the prospective
automobile tourist some knowledge of
points of interest to be visited.
Director Ames has a thorough
knowledge of out-of door photography
and is well acquainted with Arizona
and having already secured good con-
tracts with distributing film concern
will be in position to make this state
advertising self supporting.

TRAVEL TO GRAND CANYON
INCREASES DURING JULY

Grand Canyon, Aug. 12.-The
travel total to Grand Canyon national

year and at the present rate Of travel
it is predicted that the total for the
1925 travel year will be in excess of
$4,000 when books are closed on
September 80.
All records for travel for July were
broken during the month just passed
when 22,676 persons were registered

in southern Utah, amounted to 308
compared to 40 last year, most I'M
pressive increase.
Automobiles were registered from
every state except Delaware. Arizona
led the list with go cars and Cali

of proportion to population and area.
Other portions of the world of equal
