Colored Preacher Says European War is to Be a Long One. Mother eating her child was the subje that Rev. Andrew Jones (Prophet) spoke on at the Grace Me- morial Baptist church Friday evening before a good sized audience. He took his text from II Kings, 6th chapter and 23th verse: So we boiled my son, and did eat him; and I sal unto her the next day, Give th that we may eat him: and she hath 1§d her son. This was brought about, said Prophet Jones, by disobedience to God, and Prophet Jones warned the congre- sation that it is the same God now as then. Since in that time and before that time God warned of the destruc- tion of nations as found in Isaiah 34, and since that part of history has re- peated we need to fear the rest. Prophet Jones claims it was revealed to him Friday that there would be more than one hundred million men killed before the end of the great Eu- ropean war. It is a long war and God is going to scourge well, and all we can do is to pray for them. God has made a great contrast between the righteous and the wicked as shown in the third chapter of Job, 20'h verse. It was in the home of T. A. Spivery of No. 17 Quarry street, seven vears ago, that Prophet Jones made the prophecy that the nations were pre- paring for war. On Sunday afternoon Prophet Jones will speak at Mount Calvary church, and in the morning and evening at Grace Memorial Baptist church.

I suffered much from a dull, heavy ache in my back. It grew worse grad- ually until # was almost impossibic for me to get out of bed mornings.

Dr. Gerard E. Jensen, instructor in English at the University of Pennsyl- vania, who has been passing the sum- mer with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Martin E. Jensen, has left for Phila- delphia to resume his dutie: Origin of “Petrified Forest” The “Petrified Forest” of Arizona. really a series of petrified forests, lics a_short distance souti of Adamana, on the line of the Santa Fe Railway. There are four “forests,” included in a Government reservation called “Petri- fied Forest National Monument,” cre- ated by presidenttial proclamation in 1906. The name “forest” is not strictly appropriate, for the petrified tree trunks are all prostrate and are broken into sections. The logs are the re- mains of giant trces that grew in Trassic time, the age of reptiles. The trees were of several kinds, but most of them were related to the Norfolk Island pine, now used for indoor deco- ration. Doubtless they grew in a near- by region and, after falling, drifted down a water-course and lodged in some eddy or a sand bank. Later they were buried by sand and clay, finally to a depth of several thousand feet. The conversion to stone was effected by gradual replacement of the woody material by silica in the form called chalcedony, deposited by underground water. A email amount of iron oxides deposited at the same time has given the brilliant and beautiful brown, vel- low, and red tints which appear in much of the mineral. Some of the tree trunks are 6 feet in diametere and more than 100 feet in length. In the first forest there is a fine trunk that forms a natural bridze over a small ravine, the water having first washed away the overly- ing ciay and sand and then, following a crevice, worked out the channel underneath. The length of this log is 11¢ feet, and the dlameter 4 feet at the butt and 1 1-2 feet at the top. The petrified woods are beautiful ob- jects for study. When thin slices are carefully ground down to a thickness of 0.003 inch or less and placed under the microscope they show perfectly the original wood structure, all the cells being distinct, though now they are replaced by chalcedony. By studying the sections F. H. Knowlton, of the United States Geological Su vey, Departmert of the Interior, has found that most of these aracarian trees were of the species Auraucari oxylon arizonicum, a tree now extince, Tt is known to have lived at the same geologic' time also in the east- central part of the United States, where the remains of some of its as- sociates have also been found. These included other cone-bearing _trees, tree ferns, cycads, and gigantic horse. tails, which indicate that at that time, the rainfall was abundant—U. S. Geo- logical Survey. Censorship Explained. Adding up the Russlan figures we find that the Russians have already twice as many prisoners as they have soldiers. And yet some people won- der why a censorship has heen es- tablished—New York Telegram. Gains Occasionally. The democrats are to be commend- ed for steering clear of the high cost of living issue.
