Tearing myself away from the beauties Of the

Central Cascade, which is the most beautiful and
attractive fall in the Gleni 1t is about 90 feet
high and is much noted for its regularity. Over
It is o balcony, about rs feet from the ground,
provided with seats, where the visitor can linger
and gaze upon the beauties Of this gem Of natures
handiwork.
The beautiful Rainbow falls are now passed; the
water trickles slowly and gracefully down from
the tops OF the cliffs. We go behind the falling
water and see the effect ofthe sun, which changes
the water to shining drops, forming . complete
and radiant rainbow. ...I

full, and We can imagine that the sparkling water
laughs in gIee as silently and joyfully It passes
over the rocks. These falls are not very high,
but are quite attractive.
Cavern cascade soon bursts upon the vision, and
the water, which here pours over the rock and
forms the falls, enters through q small assure in
the rock, about two feet wide. This fafl also
pours its waters into q large pond, and as one
