Geological Conference Today.

At the Geological Conference to be held in the Geological Museum at 8 o'clock, this evening Professor W. M. Davis will deliver a lecture on "The Green River Tertiary of Wyoming." The lecture will consider the origin of these regions, concerning which there has been much discussion of recent years. Professor Davis visited this territory last summer, and at the lecture will use some lantern slides to illustrate the characteristic outcrops.

Professor Davis has just returned from a two weeks trip to the mountains of North Carolina. He ascended Mt. Mitchell, the highest peak east of the Mississippi, and crossing the Blue Ridge at several points, continued the examination of the different strata. Some account of his observations will be given at an early meeting of the Geological Conference.
