An American travelling in Australia thus
describes the famous Wentworth fallsi AT

though falling over the back to the seat Of a
great arm chair cut out Of the face Of the
mountain by some giant Of nature. Falling
in spray, II gathers itself for another run and
leap, the second time falling over 800 feet
into the great gorge below. Tho fall is 50 far
and tho foliage So dense at the foot that the
eye fails TO see the second gathering place OF
the clouds OF spray glittering in the sunlight
1900 feet below. The valley below the falls
spreads out into a great ampitheatre fifty
miles across, and hemmed in on evory side
but one with the perpendicular walls OF the
