The following statement, issued by the United States Geological Survey, shows the total production of Port land, natural-rock, and puzzolan ce ments in the United States for the calendar year 1907. j This statement is issued in ad vance of the annual report on the production of hydraulic cement in the United States which is now in pre paration, and is based on returns from all the active cement plants in this country. The total production of all kinds of hydraulic cement in 1907 was 52,230, 342 barrels, valued at $55,903,851. , Of the above total quantity of ce ment manufactured in 1907 in the United States, 48,785,390 barrels were Portland cement, with a value of $53,992,551; 2,887,700 barrels were natural rock cement, with a value of $1,467,302; and 557,252 were puzzolan cement, with a value of $443,998.

From Percival Lowell's "Mars and the Future of the Earth" in April Cen tury. Desersts already exist upon the ""Hi and the nameless horror that at taches to the word in the thoughts of an wno nave had experience of them or are gifted with imagination to con ceive, is in truth greater than we com monly suppose. For the cosmic cir cumstance about them which is most terrible is not that deserts are. but that deserts have begun to be. Not as local, evitable evils are they only to be pictured, but as the general unes capable death grip on our world. For it is the -beginning of the end. What dopaperatos the forests to grass lands, and thence to waste, must in turn at tack the sea bottoms when they shall have parted with their seas. Last of the fertile spots upon the planet be cause of the salts of the streams have for ages washed down, and of the rem nant of moisture that would still drain into them, eventually they must share the fortune of their predecessors, and the planet roll a parched orb through space. The picture is forbidding; but the fact seems one to which we are constructively pledged and into which we are in some sort already adven tured. Girdling the earth with what it takes but little pcrsonfication to liken to the life-extinguishing seprent's coils, run j two desert belts of country. The one follows, roughly speaking, the Tropic of Cancer, extending northward from it; the other, the Tropic of Ca pricorn. Arizona is in the northern band, as are the Sahara, Arabia and the desert of central Asia. Now, these desert bells are grow ing. In the great desert of northern Arizona the traveler, threading his way across a sage-brush and cacti plain shut in by abrupt-sided shelves of land rising here and there some hun dreds of feet, higher, suddenly comes upon a petrified forest. Trunks of trees in all stages of frac ture strew the ground over a space some miles in extent. So perfect are their forms, he is almost minded to think the usual wasteful woodchopper has been by and left the scattered pro ducts of his axe in littred confusion upon the scene of his exploit. Only their beautiful color conveys a sense of strangeness to the eye. and leaning down and touchin them, he finds that they are stone. Chalcedony, not car bon! Form has outlived substance and kept the resemblance, --while the particles of the original matter have all been spirited away. Yet so perfect is the presentment, one can hardly be lieve the fact, and where, one fallen giant spans a little canon, one almost thinks to hear the sound of water rush ing down the creek. But it. is some millions of years and more since this catastrophe befell, and the torrent, 'uprooting it,- left it prcne, with limbs outstretched in futile grasp upon the other side. A conifer it was, cousin only to such as grow to day, and nourished probably in the Cretaceous era; for the land has not been under water here since the ad vent a Tertiary times. a. l eriiary uiueij.-i ,hcrc near it,;.exce'nt for the rare w clods Sklng tile bank of the Lit- . Now cottonw tie Colorado, grows anything today. The stream which once supported these forests is incompetent to do so now. Yet nothing has changed there since except the decreasing water sup ply. During Tertiary and Quarternary time the rainfall has been growing less and less. Proof of this is offered by the great pine oasis that caps the plateau of which these irtrified for ests form a part, and is kerneled by the San Francisco peaks. The height above sea level of the spot where chal cedony trunks are strewn is about 1, 500 feet; the lower present limit of Ihe ine in its full development is 0,500 feet. Two thousand feet upward the verdure pine has retreated since the former forests were. And this is no local alteration, for upon the other side of the plateau petrified remains of trees are similarly found. The line of perpetual green has ris en because in desert regions the mois ture is found most plentiful nearest the clouds from which it falls upon a parching earth. Streams, instead of gathering volume as they go, are larg est near their source, and grow less and less with each fresh mile of flow. The brooks descending from the Anti Lebanon, in Syria, water the gardens of Damascus, and, thence issuing upon the nla in, lose themselves just beyond the threshold of its gates. So in the Arizona desert, though in a less de gree; and those who live there know it but too well. He was never a friend who has ceas ed to be one. French.

"It isn't, often that we have faith enough in the medicine put up by other people to be willing to offer to refund the money if it does not cure," said Mr. Purcell to a News man who drop ped into the store, "but Ave are glad to sell Dr. Howard's specific for the cure of constipation and dyspepsia on that basis. "The Dr. Howard Company, in order to get a quick introductory sale, au thorizes us to sell their regular fif ty cent bottles at half-price. 25 cents, and, although we have sold a lot of .it, and have guaranteed every package, not one has been brought back as un satisfactory. .

"We are still selling the specific at half price, although we cannot tell how long we shall be able to do so, and anyone who is subject to consti pation, sick headache, dizziness, liver trouble, indigestion or a general played out condition, ought to take advantage of their chance.
