well and it was the only stunt set b bushrod involving the least danger the crowd was a bit dls appointed they had looked for some thing spectacular bushrod took the road back to the campus where the others made a break for the dining halis and supper pol lowed by martin he turned off toward the dairy barns they were back on thr campus about seven and ldiord barr walked with them until eight the

walk while uartln though till willing was playing out the boys d iff not stop for lunch which meant three consecutive meals skipped j fresh volunteers coming and going at tended them throughout the afternoon proressor baton did not actually walk with them but he watched the proces sion while a girl in one of his classes told him what it was all about after exploring a mile or two of every road that led out of town bushrod had at last takerr a regular circuit from the college chapel to the railway station thence by another road to the agricul ture building and dairy barns up the hill to the college hospital from there to the cemetery back tb townejong main street to the campus and so once more to the chapel to begin it all over at four oclock that afternoon some one remembered that the two had now been walking for twentyfour hours straight bushrod might have been run by a constantly refueled engine for his steady stride never wavered but all could see that martins endurance was

oordon lancaster holds the unusual position of elephant control officer for the bastern province of northern rhodesia known to the natives as the vudwa forest the petrified trees are in the lundasi district of northern rhodesia not far from the borders of nyasaland the forest is about seventyfive miles north of fort jameson in sice the remnants of the ancient trees are not considerable the average length being eighteen inches and two feel but there seem to be numbers of them hidden in the bush the natives it appears have long known about the petrified forest and have been ln the habit of visiting it to gat lu r fragmentji of the flinty stone to use or implements close to the site in a small river known as the vlzlwn it ts from thin that the forest dp rives its name the r iumn why
