Lovers of things bizarre, who are exulting in undisguised glee over the rejuvenation of Wi ington’s fire hy drants at the hands of municipal deco | rators with a penchant for bright green pigments, are destiped to have their exuberation cut short. The fire plugs are not to remain permanently ornamented with that dazzling de dear to the heart of Old Erin. According to the solemn as- nce obtained from Water Supt. sarland’s office today, the hydrants are merely being primed for a final | coat of the same old uninteresting dark geen of yore. Fire Chief George Watson frankly admitted his amazement today at the startling effect created by the master brushes of the District’s fire plug art ists. He had not, at that time, learned that the dizzy tint was buty for the nonce. “It’s awful, isn’t it?” the fire chief inquired. “Let me hasten to assure vou that I didn’t have a thing to do wWith selecting that color. They didn't ask my advice at all. 1 have already received several letters about those brilliant-hued hydrants.

Hearled As Only One of Kind in North America. SPOKA Wash., July 16.—Dis covery of a petrified forest of giant oak trees, believed to be the only one of its kind on the North American continent, has been made near the confluence of the Spokane and Co- lumbia rivers in this te. E. M Tardy, United States school inspector for the Indian department now located on the Colville Indian Reservation, | announced the find, which was made by Dr. W. A. Johnston. Owing to its difficulty of access, the forest has not yet been fully explored, but is known to extend for half a mile along the south bank of the Columbia. The trees are 2 to 5 feet in_diameter and some 60 feet tall “The forest. of what apparently was a |growth similar to our oaks, grew on one of the first of the eight flows 2 that part of the State of Washing- ton,” Mr. Tardy said. YThe trees then were covered by subsequent flows. “The extent of the preserved forest is not yet determinable, as the loca tion makes exploration extremely dif- ficult. However, on the ledges where the formations are plainly visible, the fallen trunks of giant trees are in open sight and by carefully negotiat- ing the precipitous canyon, the stand- ing trees may be seen to reach a height of 60 feet or more. The diam- eter of many of the larger.specimens is as much as 5 feet and a tree 2 s common 2 on ths i | | precipitous walls of the canyon it is necessary to scale the cliffs i pas: over the ledges made by the breaking away of the solid rock. This weather- ing has gone far enough to open a passage into the forest that in reality honeycombs the hillside. Where the tree trunks have been brought into contact with theair, the wood has rapidly .decomposed .and left the hol low shafts in the solid rock. By traveling along the ledges and bréaking away the loose accumula- tions of smail scalings, forest may be entered, one tree at a time, as the wall of the canyon is of solid basalt and the only openings | are where the trunks of the trees offer of basalt that partially covered | perpendicular shafts, most of which are still filled with the decaying wood of many centuries ago.” Mr.' Tardy expressed the opinion that further exploration of the site might reveal the presence of animal life of the period when the molten rock overflowed the forest.
