The largest and most Important museum of art in tho United Sl.i’es the imposing structure which house* the priceless treasures — occupies ti plot carved from the snered prreinet* of Central park, ?jiw York. The astonishing exhibits here displayed are a revelation and an education. one could spend a month here mid not have time to absorb the full significance of all he saw. A list of these exhibits would fill this entire paper. To give you an inipression of the extent, variety mid tinusunlne**, I inention the following: A teapot made by John Coney who engraved the plates for the first paper money used In America ami died more thnn two centuries ago; a room papered with wall paper which hung In mi ancient home for more than ’J*) years; a collection of musical instrument*. arranged by country and ncconllng to date; one of the richest colh'etlon* of English 'glass In existence; display* of ornamental pottery from distant lands; exhibit* of oil paint'ng* and sculpturing extraordinary, basketry, Inces, crystal, Jade —everything one can think of and many filings which one does not think of. Here me Homan frescoes from a l*oni|n'llun hofne overthrown by an eruption of Mount Vesuvius In 7ft, A. D. There, n sarcoplmgus. found In Cyprus, dating back to about (500 B. C. ’ Outstanding feature* are caskets and Jewelry, the property of n princes* —only daughter of an Egyptian king who reigned about 11*00 B. found in 1014 In the mud in the valley of tha River Nile near one of the pyramid* and supposedly overlooked by vandals when the tomb of the princess wns ransacked many years before: the Tomb of Perneb, an Egyptian ofil- I cer of the period about 4500 B. C., removed Intact from it* resting place In Egypt, borne by camel* acnm* the desert sand*. shlp|»’d across the ocean and set up in the museum, exactly as Its builders left It.

I ((gi, IL‘24, WcNtetu Newvpaprr Union.) THE STONE FOREST The wonders of tho earth on which we live, and particularly that portion which wo call America, nre Intensely Interesting. The "forest turned to stone'' In Apache county, Arizona, Is one of the natural wonder* of America. Congress so concluded, at the same time putting to end the malicious acts of those who were hostile to the preservation of It* treiiMitres, when in 1000 It passed “An net tor the preservation of American mitlqid- 1 ties," President Roosevelt placed the forest under the protection of the government, designating It "The Petrified Forest National monument" —for Hie Jierpetmil enjoyment of the people Here, at an elevation us iibont one mile above sea level, / lying hi the open and scattered over thousands of acres and in nil conceivable positions, I* a profusion of million* of ton* of fallen trees turned to stiaie- agate, Jasper, opal—“the most brilliant aggregation of Jewels on the globe." The dominating feature Is a natural bridge formed by a petrified trunk of agate and Jas per which spans u GO-foot-wlde ennyon. How come? The solution of that question fins puzzled the greatest students of the structure of our earth, the physical change* which It Ims undergone. and the causes which have operated to produce these changes. The general supposition seem* to to- that In time far beyond the reach of record- a million or more years ago, n giant woodland flourished here. Some great catastrophe, most likely an earthquake, mowed 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 uad other mineral content penetrated every filler of tids wood —the prolonged perhsl of saturation gradually pickling the 1 wood to stone. At length, another age wns ushereil In. An upheaval as tremendous a* It was mysterious awakened this sleeping, this forgotten forest and It wns belched up to the top of the earth ngnln, to a place In the Arizona sun. There lire three division* of this forest. The first, famous for It* bright colors. Is six mile* from Adnniana; the second Is two and one-half miles farther on. Here the trees are largeily intact, many of them highly collored; the third I* ten mid one half tidies farther southwest and by reason 'of the striking gplors has isirned Joally the imine of Rainbow forest.
