,,es. One Of the most striking is q view OF an
oriental city wall and the country Immediately
adjacent outside, It is the work Of Mr.. ". L..

comes gently down The hill, and there are few
modcr:te-sized traas, not unlike apple-trees in
cene.al appearance. The Striking point Of the
nietu1e is the tremendous light aud shade. Tho
sky Is blue, and the sun shines brightly from the
left. The grass is lighted up to tho most intonse

the utmost boldness, and the shadows
