A "Stone Forest."
There is what may be called a
stone forest on San Nicholas island,
off Southern California. This weird
forest is the result of some awful erup-
tion that must have taken place long
ago and is described thus: The origi-
nal condition of the land was that of
a huge forest, when an eruption of the
Mont Pelee order swept down upon it,
blasting oft the verdure and leaving
only the long stumps of what were
once beautiful trees; then the out-
break, as is often the case, caused the
sea to rush in on the land. The action
f the water and chemical remains of
(he eruption (combined lime and lava)
transformed, after long years, the
numps into solid stone. The general Corner Grand Avenue
