Various ailments may be cured by
heated sand baths. The sand, contain
ing air between its particles, and being
a bad conductor of heat, transmits it
in a gentle and almost insensible man

quarts of liquid in one sand bath.
Thanks TO this evaporation, the invalid
may support continued high tempera-
ture without the actual temperature OF

sand on the feet at the outset. This
treatment is especially beneficial to

CoLoRAoo's CLIFF RUINS.
A Great Future Field for the Explorer
and Scientist

A Great Future Field for the Explorer
and Scientist
The cliff ruins of the San Juan and
the Mancos have been the center of at
traction, have been viewed from all
sides, and their wonders have been told
and retold to the world time and time
again. Scientific men have visited the
region, have penetrated southwest Col
orado, and have considered that section
n place Of especial interest, because the
cliff and cave dwellings ere probably the
oldest in this strange land, being the
first built In that mysterious journey
southwark of great but unknown PEG
pie. For 20 years the prospector has
followed the San Juan river and gazed
with careless unconcern upon the rough
and broken walls. so full of Interest to
the Archaeological.
But the mind of the prospector has
no room for curios, and he has no time
for archaeological investigation. He
sees only the glitter of the gold in the
sand, and thinks only of the time when
he shall have made his stake. In No
vcmber, 1892, hundreds of gold hunters
rushed madly into the canyon north of
the Navajo mountain, travelled 300 miles
over bleak, desert tablelands, suffered
terribly from cold, hunger. and the long,
wearisome journey. In few days they
had stalled of all the available land for
80 miles up and down the river, and then
returned home without having obts ned
so much as color of gold. and to lay
have nothing to show for It but the
stakes.
1t is one of the most wildly pictur
csque and beautiful regions in the
world. The bleak old Navajo noun
tain rises abruptly and towers like q
grim sentinel over the surrounding
mesas. while In a canyon gorge. more
than 1900 feet below its base, the Rio
San Juan appears like a silver thread.
The canyon is several miles wide. and
descent can be made 10 the river only
by a precipitous trail. but as the river
approaches the great Colorado the can
yon becomes more narrow and the wall
more perpendicular, and when IL merges
into the grand canyon il Is scarcely
more than deep. dark channel.

where the canyon is not more than 800
or 1000 feet from wall to wall, and
where the walls are perpendicular and
smooth, on the right wall are the pic
lures of seven warriors with bows drawn
to the last notch, while across the river
on the opposite side are the pictures
of seven antelope, apparently in full
run TO escape the hunters. These pic
lures are well executed and are i'm the
most inaccessible places. Evidently the
artist was lowered from a ledge, hun
dreds of feet above the picture, ana held
suspended while he performed his tedi-
GUS task. There are many places in the
mystic southwest where such paintings
are to be found.-Denver Field and

il has a particular affinity for sandy
loans and prairie soils. II grows amid
all kinds of grain crops, but is not very
Troublesome in winter wheat, winter
rye, meadows or pastures. This arises
from the fact that ii cannot withstand
frost. The seeds are distributed along
with those Of the various spring grains
through the agency of water and wind,
and to some extent through that of
birds. Flax seed is frequently the me-
dunn for carrying wild mustard seed.
The distribution of this plant in Amer
lea is as wide as the continent. In the
prairie countries IL is becoming very
prevalent.
When once established, wild mustard
cannot be quickly eradicated. And in
fighting IL those methods should be
adopted which shall most readily cause
the seed TO terminate, and which, at the
same time, give opportunity 10 destroy
the plants without excessive labor. Un-
til these are all sproui ID we cannot get
completely rid OF the weed.
When there are only O few plants
they should be pulled when in bloom.
and this should be done from year to
year till they are gone. The aid of q
saddle horse on large prairie farms may
legitimately be called in. Winter rye
and meadow tend to prevent the in
crease of the plants; hence when mus
tard-smitten lands are seeded to grass
the seed should be sown on nurse crop
of rye or winter wheat.
When the battle OF eradication is be-
ing fought two modes of procedure may
be adopted. BY the FIRST a succession
of hoed or cultivated crops may be
grown until the seeds in the soil have
become SO reduced that manipulating
the plants which grow from them will
be practicable. The number of these
crops required will vary, but one will
seldom suffice. BY the second method
the plan of growing several forage crops
year for two or more years successive
ly. and eating them off with sheep, is
one of the very best ways of Graduating
wild mustard that will ever be adopted.
The sheep will turn all the mustard
plants into good mutton and they viii
enrich the land and clean it of noxious
weeds while thus engaged. The crops
suitable for such work are rye, rape,
sorghum. peas and oats and millet. As
soon as the plants are so thinned as to
Justify it, manipulating can complete
what the sheep have SO well begun
