A Rival of the Yosemite.

In the vast Sierra wilderness far to the
southwark of the famous Yosemite val
ley there is a yet grander valley of the
same kind. 1t is situated on the South
Fork of Kings river, above the most ex-
tensive groves and forests Of the giant
sequoia and beneath the shadows of the
highest mountains in the range, where
the canyons are deepest and the snow
laden peaks are crowded most closely
together. It is called the Big Kings
River canyon OF Kings River Yosemite,
and is reached by way of Visalia, the
nearest point on the Southern Pacific
railroad, from which the distance is
about forty-fve miles, or by the Kear-
sarge pass from the east side of the
range.
1t is about ten miles long, half a mile
wide and the ~stupendous rocks of pur-
plish gray granite that form the walls
are from $500 to 5000 feet in height,
while the depth of the valley below the
general surface of the mountain mass
from which it has been carved is consid
pears that this new Yosemite is longer
and deeper, and lies imbedded in grander
mountains than the we'll known Yosem-
tie of the MERGED. Their general char
acters, however, are wonderfully alike.
and they bear the same relationship to
the fountains of the ancient glaciers
above them.-John Muir in Century.

How Ancient Builders Built.

The builders of Babel built we'll. Ira
dition relates that it was only a confu-
sion of tongues that checked their aspi-
ration. There can be no doubt that the
foundations of the celebrated tower that
was designed by it's architect to reach
''heaven" were of the broadcast and heav-
lest sort; let us say vast walls of the
most solid granite, bound and knit to-
gether by that most excellent insoluble
cement that is one Of the lost arts to
modern constructionists. Yet if latter
day engineers be not hopelessly in error
with concc%l to the conclusions they
have drawn AS respects ancient ma
sonry from the ruins of ancient struc-
lures, ancient builders counted only on
the law of g~ravitation, which they knew
in an empiric way, for the safety of the
works they wrought. The protector Of
the Nag-on-Wat, whose walls and roof
might have sheltered d St. Peters and a
St. Paul's and still have had room for a
building like the Equitable in Broadway
within its vast Enclosures, would never
dream Of setting his masons to begin the
laying of his walls say at about fifty feet
from the ground.-Harper's Weekly.

DIR. P. S. HENSON, of Chicago, after
using one bottle, talks as follows:
"An almost fatal attack of LaGrippe,

magical as 'Koch's Lymph is reported
to be, which is also a germ destroyer,
though taken in a different way.
