There are few sights in the world more
the wonderful Yosemite Valley are be-
yond any doubt the most beautiful in the
world. Great writer's never tire of de-
scriblng them and the most famous pain ters
are constantly working to fix their fieeting
beauties on canvas. And what cnuld be
more worthy OF the erandest effort?
Every man or woman who looks at q
waterfall must be thrilled with the gran
deur and beauty. and why should they not ?
The down-rushing flood. flashing in a
myriad jets of coloTed light. is sight that
would appeal to the soul of any one. 1t is
a constantly changing magic column. ever
renewed and each moment revealing some
fresh loneliness.
The waterfalls of the Yosemite are diff
ferent from those of any other part of the
world. They have combined awful
grandeur and fine exquisite beauty. They
are such that they can be examined from
any point of view and something new dis
covered. And there are SO many of them
that one can be seen from almost any part
OF the valley.
Part of Picturesque California Is con-
tinuation of the description of Yosemite
valley begun in part 3. and is one of the
hnest number of the series issued 10 date.
There are more pictures of waterfalls in
this number than other views and all are
maryels OF artistic excellence.
There are three pictures of waterfalls
by the famous artist Thomas Hill and all
are executed in his most masterful man.
ner Vernal and Nevada falls is one of
rho OrannQgt vi 10 in ba Nocor,f,a,
and 1t is produced so as to bring out its
full beauty. In the distance can be seen
the bold outlines of the Sierras with storm
clouds lowering over their crests. while a
glimpse of Emerald Pool shows at the
head OF Nevada Fall before it plunges over
the ledge and breaks into column of
white spray. The river TO Vernal Fall
can be plainly seen breaking into a con-
tinuOus chain of cascades. each giving out
a flash Of light.
The foreground Is filled with gigantic
pines and redwoods growing from the
assures of wild and broken rocks. The
execution OF this picture leaves nothing
to be desired. 1t is perfect in value and
strongly handled.
There Is also picture of Chilnovalna
Falls. near Wawona, by Thomas Hill, that
must be seen to be appreciated.
A picture of the famous Yosemite Fall
is one of the best things in the number.
The Bridal Veil Fall is also given atten-
ton, and in a full page illustration its
wonderful beauties are revealed to those

work. There is a fine pen drawing of

beyond criticism.
