than to make roads or marble dust

he sees barrels full of marble of all
colors, the fragments being of various
sizes, from that Of pea to that of an

already reduced enough to form the
mosaic. but the larger ones are crum-

are then mixed with composition of

Strange freaks are played by wind
blown sands in the New Mexico river
valleys and mountain canyons. In the
canyons one may see cliffs and natural
stone pillars cut into fantastic forms
by the natural sand blasts formed by
the winds sucking MP and down these
narrow passes. In broad river valleys,
the Rio Grande especially. great areas
Of sand hills are seen tossed no like
giant waves of sea. These shift their
position slowly, travelling in the direc-
ton of the prevailing winds, until they
scatter on the plain or encounter some
obstruction, such as . mountain side,
against which they heap Not only
raluable lands. but towns may be
buried in this invading element Thus
along the Pecos river. at distances from
twenty to forty miles below the town
of Eddy. in southeastern New Mexico,
there are Eve old deserted pueblos or
villages built by ancient agricultural
Indians. which. it is estimated. once
contained a population of from ten
thousand to fifteen thousand people.
Now the villages are nearly buried in
sand blown from the hills that bound
the valley. vestiges Of q canal to these
towns have been discovered leading
from q canyon near by which once fur
nished water. but is now filled with
