Fortunately the rain yesterday after
noon lasted only long: enough to make the
world look fresher and brighter, and in
no way interfered with the children’s
fashioned May pole dance, held on the
Regimental Armory green. Hundreds of
spectators were present, and all enjoyed
the pretty picture made hy the many
lovely children in their white dresses
and bright ribbons. At 6 o’clock the lit
tle candidates for May Queen, together
with their knights, gathered around the
pole with its gay streamers and danced
merrily over the grass. Then they ad
journed to a large white throne on a dais
nearby, where Miss Katie Bell surrounded
(by her maids of honor, all crowned by
their knights, with wreaths of flowers,
took her place as queen. In this group
were the Misses Eliza Schley, Aimee Bat
tey, Dorothy Karow, Katharine Charlton,
Margaret Eilis, Pauline Overton, Kate
Bell, Carolyn Myers, Emma Walthour,
•ml Gladys Clark, and Masters Thomas
Charlton. Averil Crane, Gustave Karow,
John Howkins, Raiford Wood and Irwin
Wood. At 7 the older girls and boys
took the ribbons and twined In and out
with apparently as much pleasure as they
gave the on-lookers. These ladies and
knights were Miss Florence Stevens, Miss
Anna Hunter, Miss Opelia Dent, Miss
Elizabeth Sholter, Miss Gladys Girardeau,
Miss Hada Hunter, Miss Sophie Meld rim,
Miss Rosalind Wood, and the Messrs.
Oiarles Barney, Guarard Haines, Claude
Girardeau, Malcolm Maclean, Larcombe
©chley, Alfred Hart ridge, and Haldeman
Finnie. 'Miss Elizabeth Shot ter was
orowned queen and another pretty picture
on another white throne was made by the
flower-wreathed girls. After the dancing
ell enjoyed the delicious refreshments
eerved by the lady hostesses. Although
tlie proceeds are not known, It was evi
dent that the entertainment was in every
way a success.
The annual May ball of Mrs. Nicoll’s
dar.cing class was orl- 1 of Ihe pleasant
events of the week and drew a number
•f young people to the Guards’ Armory
Wednesday evening. The early part of
the evening was devoted to the pupils, and
included a series of beautiful dances. One
of the most successful of these was
•'Down Upon the Mississippi.” a song and
dance In which ten little girls in charming
knickerbocker suits with crimson hats
and sashes delighted the audience with
their graceful dancing. The butterfly
dance was also lovely, and among the
special dancers Miss Lucille Levy in the
“Sailors' Hornpipe” won especial ap
plause. The dancing of tiny Miss Rletto
Levy was also much admired, and the
programme from first to last was an ex
cellent one. Among the children present

THE PETRIFIED FOREST.
Eiforts to Make Arizona's Great
Wonderland a National Park,
From the New York Tribune.
Washington, April 14.—Public Interest
has been once mere quickened in the pet
rified forest of Arizona, and there appears
to be every likelihood of its being with
drawn from entry, by congressional ac
tion, for the purpose of creating it into
a national park. Probably no place on the
American continent possesses more in
teresting scenic features cr instructive
geological fields than this wonderful for
est of Arizona territory. In fact, the pet
rified forest In Egypt, It is asserted, can
not compare with it.
The forest includes an area of ten miles
square, in the northwestern section of
Apache county and only a few mi.es from
the town of Holbrook. Adamana, a small
settlement on the Santa Fe Railroad, is
the nearest railway station, from which
a majority of sightseers go to the forest.
It Is named after an old man, Adam
Hanna, the only inhabitant noted In Us
immediate vicinity, upon whom falls the
duty of guiding and sheltering jn his hum
ble home those desiring to see the cuiios
ities of the forest. Were It not for the
small sums the old man-picks up in th's
way, it would be impossible for him to
exist, for the land is wholly unsuitable
for grazing, nor is it capable of support
ing any vegetation whatever. The bed of
the forest is a vast desert of sandstone
and worthless except as a government re
servation.
Prof. Lester F. Ward, paleontologist of
the Smithsonian Institution, who has re
cently returned from an examination of
the forest, says that after leaving the
station one gradually ascends a slope to
a bight of 5,000 or 0,000 feet, crossing over
canyons, gulches and ravines from twen
ty to fifty feet deep. The region leading
up to the principal mineral fields is ex
ceedingly rugged, and, Indeed, when fin
ally reaching the topmost point, a sort of
table land, theground Is rough and cut
up with gulches and basins, which
makes It difficult to drive over In Ad
am's wagon. At one of the highest points,
as far as the eye can reach, quantities
of huge silicified logs and fragments are
seen scattered about In the ravines and
over the fields, which, Intermingled with
the red, brown, white and purple layers
of sandstone on the edges of the cliffs,
present an odd, picturesque view. Tfels
region may be rightly classed among the
natural wonders of the American conti
nent, and its petrified wood Is of more
perfect mineral formation that that found
in Wyoming and the Yellowstone and
Yosemite Parks. It has attained a de
gree of hardness almost equal to that of
the diamond, making an excellent quality
of emery, and It very similar In composi
tion to jasper or onyx.
For a long time after the forest was dis
covered, In 1853, carloads of the silicified
wood were shipped to the East for the i ur
pose of manufacturing emery, but this In
dustry was discontinued owing to the In
troduction of an artificial material, and it
is now used principally for ornatpents.
such as clocks, tables, lamps, etc., as is
onyx. If tastily designed and highly pol
lshed, so as to bring out to advantage its
varied colors, the siltcttled wcod can bv
made Into attractive ornaments, which sell
at comparatively large prices, considering
the quantities which have lain the e for
so many years. Some mineralogists regnd
It as among the precious stones of the
American continent, and a collection of Its
choicest specimens has been obtained by a
jeweler’s firm at St. Paul, who will manu
facture the ogatlzfd wood, Into unique de
signs and exhibit them at the Paris Ex
position. A similar exhibition was | repe -
ed for the World’s Fair at Chicago.
This region Is also marked by the ruins
of a number of ancient Indian villages, the
walls of some of which can now he recog
nized, and arrow heads and ether Indian
relics arc frequently found after hard
rains. While there are no signs of any
distinct stylo of architecture belrg employ
ed by the ancient Americans, the dwell
ings had one significance. Probably never
have houses been constructed of such
beautiful and precious material as these.
The houses appear to have been rectangu
lar in shape end very low. with cne log
crossfil over the other, as are log cabin
camps of to-day. These village- have
perhaps lain in ruins since many >*ars be
fore. Columbus discovered America, and
are of historical interest.
Another feature which serves to give
the silicified forest a special prominence

added Interest of being In 14s proper place,
which Is unusual both in this and other
forests. A hand coating is still found
closely enwrapped around the trunk of
the tree, no doubt a portion of the origi
nal sand and mud which brought about
Its petrification.
The Arizona petrified forest probably
dates back to the Triasslc terrane, or the
early part of the Mesozoic formation, mil
lions of years before the age of man,
and It is probably second in antiquity
to the coal fields in America, which are
of Palaeozoic time. The three great ge
ological ages are classified as Palaeozoic,
Mesozoic and Cenozoic, dating back 40,-
000,000 or 50,000,000 years, 8,000,000 years
and 1,000,000 years, respectively. During
the Mesozoic time the American conti
nent Is supposed to have been covered
over by a vast ocean, but undoubtedly
near some former land, from which the
trees of the petrified forest were washed
down and lodged on the bottom of the
Mesozoic ocean. It was then that the
slliclficatlon began, but It must be re
membered that these trees did not be
come silicified by nature’s slow process in
a few years, as are razor hones petrified
“to order" in Scotland. The huge logs
of wood gradually became logs of stone
while lying at the botiom of the ocean.
They must have been completely covered
with wet, sticky, soapy mud and sand,
properly called sillcia, which subsequent
ly sifted Into the tree, taking the place
'of wood, which was gradually decaying.
As fast as a grain or the smallest par
ticle of a grain of wood decayed, pre
cisely the same quantity of sillcia was
forced Into the opened cell, and in this
systematic way, after years and years of
time, with all natural conditions favor
able, sliicla took the place of the wood
and the former log of wood became a
log of stone of the very hardest forma
tion possible.
By the time this inversion was complet
ed, the American continent, then the
ocean bed, had been raised 6,000 or 7,001
feiet. The ocean bad partially dried up.
