GLIMPSES OF AMERICA.
Scenes in the Great ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Yeilowstons-Pstri-
fed Treos.

No. II OF Glimpses OF America is now
ready fer delivery, and is fully equal to
any OF the preceding Issues OF this re-
markable series. Tower falls, in the
Grand canon of the Yellowstone, is the
opening illustration. Nothing outside
of America can equal in scenery the
grim, castellated rocks which guard this
beautiful treasure of the great National
park. The waters of the Yellowstone
leap over precipice 156 feet in height,
forming one of the most beautiful and
picturesque falls to be found in the
world.
A curious sight is the next i,lustra-
ton. 1t is petrified tree in the bad
lands OF Dakota. Ages ago-probaoly
from $4,000 to $4,000 years-the great
glaciers from the north swept down and
overwhelmed the forests of an immense
fertile district. Bef IRE the ice LETT, the
trees were turned to stone, and the re-
mains are quite numerous all over that
region. The picture shows one OF the
finest specimens. The writer states that
pstrifactiops of gigantic animals are
also plentiful in the same country.
A vision OF beauty is Biscuit Basin OF
the great park, and an excellent illus.
tration of it is given. The sides and
bottom OF the basin are formed OF pure
white travertine, while the varying
depths cause the water to appear all
shades between q peacock blue ana Q
light nile green. The crater OF Oblong
Geyser, Grotto Geyser, Lone Star Gey-
ser Gone, the Basaltic Canon OF the lei.
lowstsne and the limestone pinnacles OF
the Big Horn, are wonders worth going
thou ends of miles to zee. They repre-
sent the finest types OF American seen
cry.
Ranch life in the far northwest ls
shown by q pastoral scene on the Little
Missouri river. There are many attrac'
tive homes in that region, but the
climate can hardly tempt the more Tor
tunate Californisne. A scene Is given
showing heat harvesting on the great
Dalrymple farm of North Dakota, AND
another general harvest view ia tine
same vicinity.
A war camp of the Sioux Indians
photographed during the hostile era o
Sitting Bull, appears, and will interest
eyery one. Another Indian view, show
ing a camp of the Blackteet, is alsc
given. These represent some OF thu
principal views in No. IL. 1t Is booi
which will give every interested person
a very fair idea OF life in the great north
west.
