A Iifelike Stone Camel.

One of the most curious rock forma-
tons in the world is to be seen in Ari-
IONA. 1t is a short distance east of the
stage road between Tucson and Oracle
and stands on a knoll several feet above
the surrounding sand hills. When first
seen, the effect is startling, and the mind
has to get W. a shock before the pecu-
liar object can be comprehended. 1t is
a most perfect representation Of a camel
and Is formed Of II piece of granite.
This curiosity is of colossal size, but
perfectly proportioned. 1t is about 60
feet high and is very white and smooth.
There are very few assures on the sur
face, and they strangely are in the
proper places to form features. The
only real projection from the surface is
exactly placed for an eyebrow, The two
humps are plainly to be seen, and the
neck is curved beautifully.
The rock is really a solid piece rising
from the ground. but the effect Of legs
is produced by a clump of dark colored
brush that grows beside the stone. The
white stone shows plainly at both sides
of the brush, and the effect of the legs
is Enthusiastically produced.-Philadel-

stop III time to get ready for breakfast if
you dress quickly. Now, Duffy. if you
