Forest Turned 10 Stone

The most marvellous petrified forest
known to man has been found by two
biologists in remote valley Of the
Big Bend region nearly 100 miles from
the nearest railroad at Marathon,
Texas. Petrifed tree trunks Of 100
to $50 feet were found standing. and
others Of size, diameter and length
unparalleled In the world, that had
fallen. One of these was 1896 feet
long. The valley in which this stone
forest was found is split by a deep
canyon. Its surface is covered by a
thick layer Of volcanic ashes which
evidently came from a long extinct
peak In the neighboring Chisos noun

passed into Its petrifed state. We

Cannot Fix Depreciation

The New York Telephone Company
has fled with the Supreme Court ofthe
United States a brief in connection
with the case to be argued before that
Court Monday, January 18th. This
case arises from an appeal taken by
the Board of Public Utility Conn
FI1issioners from an order Of the United
States District Court which permitted
the New York Telephone Company to
charge the rate which went into effect
June 1, 1925.
The brief describes at length the
Telephone Company accounting
methods which are in accordance with
those prescribed by the Interstate
Commerce Commissioners. Ii denies
that there is any excess of the reserve
and argues that the State Commissioners
cannot fix depreciation charges,
jurisdiction being vested in the Inter
state Commerce Commission by act
Of Congress.

little else but the eve of the Christian
festival, Halloween and its formerly
attendant ceremonies long antedate

that Of all nights in the year this is
the one during which ghosts and
witches are most likely to wander
abroad. About the first of November
the Druids held their autumn festival
and lighted fires In honor of the Sum
god in thanksgiving for the harvest.
The Druids also believed that on the
eve Of this festival Saman, lord of
death, called together the wicked souls
that within, the past twelve months
had been condemned to inhabit the
bodies Of animals. On the Druid cere-
monies were grated some of the char

NEW DIAMOND MINES
PROLIFIC IN STONES
Are BelieDed to Be Richest in
World.

The world has several times been
threatened with diamond famine.
Nearly century ago experts calcu-
lated that the diamond supply was
rapidly decreasing and could not long
be expected to meet the demand. The
discovery of the South African mines
solved this problem for long period,
A generation ago much was written
about the rapid growth Of the demand
for diamonds. especially in America,
and the probability Of serious dia-
mond shortage If new sources of sup
ply were not soon discovered. Like
Iihood of a diamond shortage for some
time to come has been removed by
the discovery Of diamonds In the Bel
gian Congo. Although diamonds were
first discovered in this region as late
as 1907, the development Of the indus
try has been remarkable 1t is vtrtu-
ally a postwar industry. During 1928
and 1924 nearly 20 per cent of the
worlds supply of diamonds. measured
by weight, was gathered in these
mines.
places to cut away almost impene-
trable jungle at great expense before
mining operations could be COM
menced. In other regions the dia-
mond deposits are covered by deep
sand, clay and silt.
The new African mines are believed
to be the largest In the world. It Is
estimated that the Acknowledging
earth Is spread over 10000 square
miles. Since the region lies just south
of the equator climatic conditions en-
countered are difficult. This region
had rarely been penetrated until the
discovery Of diamonds. TO reach It
river journey of some 500 miles IL
necessary from the nearest railroad
The equipment of the mines is mod
ern and up to date. A narrow-gauge
railroad has been built and more than
1000 miles Of automobile roads con-
structed Several powerful wireless
stations are maintained by the dia-
mond company to keep In touch with
the outside world
The quality Of the diamonds mined
varies widely Many of the stones are
blue-white or colorless and transpar-
ent, comparing favorably with those
from other parts Of the world. Many
are yellow and brown, green, blue and
red There Is a wide variation In size.
Diamonds Of 40 carats have been
found and 10-carat stones are compar-
atively common. Many Of the stones
are found In the beds Of streams
where the action OF the water has
Clipped them.
About fifty diamond mines are In
operation in this general region. A
single company now employs nearly
25,0O0 workmen. "a force OF few.
