Fo1rth-The Falls and Grand Canyon
of the Yelloxs,oDe River. 10 gaze uppn

tigues and inconvenience II = voyage
around the world. The two falls (a short
half mile apart, the Upper Fall one
hundred and twenty feet high, the Lower
Fall three hundred and ninety-seven feet
high, would be among the grandest in
the world if they we're in u country as
tame as that about Niagara, and poured
into Q gorge as commonplace. But they
leap into chasm twenty-seven miles
long, with walls from one thousand two
hundred to two thousand five hundred
feet land perhaps more in height, for no
one has measured the lower part Of the
canyon), walls, wonderful for their stupen-
dous height and the fantastic and pictur-
esque forms into which the cliffs have
weathered, but far more wonderful for
the gorgeous magnificence, the unequalled
brilliancy of their coloring; walls whose
wealth of red and yellow and brown and
orange and pink and green, and black
and gray, and white, fascinates and be-
wilders every beholder, seeming to repro
duce before his admiring gaze all the
vanished splendors of every gorgeous sun
set, whose charms, no longer evanescent,
are here not painted on, but dyed through
and through these mighty cliffs and made
as eternal as the everlasting mountains
that they buttress. The falls without the
canyon would be sublime, but the canyon
without the falls would be magnificent
beyond comparison, and would present a
scene of transcendent loneliness at which
a Raphael or an Angelo would throw
down the brush in despair, and the falls
and canyon combined are, beyond doubt,
the most wonderfully lovely piece of cat
aract and canyon scenery in the known
world.
Fifth-The Mammoth Hot Springs on
Gardner River, whose steaming waters
Though seemingly clear as crystaD carry
in solution great quantities of calcite
which deposits in forms of most exquisite
deiicacy and beauty, building up on. the
steep sides of the mountain terrace above
terrace Of curved pools of glistening stone,
mostly white but often colored yellow and
green, orange, pink, and brown, looking
like SO many marble bath tubs set with
jewels and adorned with rarest mosaics,
which, as the water flows over their edges
and the sun crowns their vapory veil with
the glory of the rainbow, present beau
teous spectacle, unrivalled by anything
of like character in the known world, un-
less it be by the less extensive Tetarata
group in New Zealand. .t.
beslOeS THESE great WONDERS there are
countless lesser ones; dozens of cascades
and cataracts, which, if they were in Eu-
rope instead of America, would be &C
counted among the wonders of the world
and deemed worthy of pages of elaborate
prose and cantos Of polished verse, scores
Of gorges and canyons, gloomily grand or
charmingly picturesque, sombre forests
and pleasant meadows, shady dells and
sunny glades, numerous lakes, hidden in
the woods and among the mountains, and
known only to the wild fowl which sport
upon their surfaces. and 10 the huntsrs
