Ore., Sept. 19. HP) Scientists are attempting to iden tify pine trees that may have sheltered inhabitants of this area million years ago. And they're doing it with mir rors. The forest, possibly of yel low pine trees, once covered a mountainside. The mountain developed Into volcano, blew its top, and waves of lava en gulfed the trees. The trees disappeared ages ago. Not a splinter or a piece of bark remain, but lava casts of the trees, some of them still standing upright, provide the scientists with a basis for study The lava chilled against the green trunks, cracked as it cool ed, and the giant trunks burned away. Imprints made by the bark and, charred bits remain in the casts, some of which are 100 feet long. The investigators, lacking elaborate electrical lighting equipment in the iso lated area, hit upon the use of mirrors. They focus reflection of the sun on the Interiors of the tunnel-like casts. Along with identifying the trees definitely, the scientists hope to be able to determine whether the forest was destroy ed before or after a vast pleisto cene lake dried up. More than BIO forms of old trees have been discovered with-1 in a radius of 40 miles of New berry crater. DEER HUNTER IS LE AHuras, Cal., Sept. 19. (IP) K. P.
