The Businesses of Utah.
Nowhere on all Gods earth are
the phenomena Of air and sky and
light more marvelously glorious
and beautiful than in this golden
mountain region Of the holy land
and the American dead sea. 1t is a
region of magnificent sunrises and
sunsets, of rainbows and halos, mir
ages, aureoles and auroras, where
snow falls and lghtnings flash
amid all the glory of radiant sun
light and moonlight and starlight,
where ebon thunderclouds frown
around one peak, while dazzle of
radiance bathes the lofty brow of
it's next neighbor. Nowhere is the
nightly sky more deeply, purely
blue or luminous with larger jewel
like stars. It is realm of meteor
ic wonders, of prismatic miracles.
Lunar rainbows, scarcely seen once
in lifetime in other lands, are fire.
quent occurrences here, but never
even here-never since the strange,
resplendent token of Jehovah's COW
enant with a dripping world first
cast it's luminous coronet around the
frowning brow of Ararat-has the
heaven turned eye beheld a richer,
rarer manifestation of the divine
handiwork than that which feasted
the gaze of few late vigil keeping
citizens of Zion last Saturday night.
The display of celestial decorative
taste and genius was transcendently
glorious and sublime Omnipotence
itself, with all the dazzling pris-
matte stores of the universe at it's
command, could have devised moth
ing more enchantingly beautiful.
The sky of this grand intermoun-
tain realm was as blue as ever bent
its sapphirean arch above the far
famed waters of the Golden Horn,
as blue and clear as the prude, trans
lucent crystal that domes the gold
paved, jewel gated city of God, mot
made with hands, eternal in the
heavens. The moon, radiant queen
Of love and romance, sailed up the
feckless azure attended by royal
retinue of gemlike stars. A flood
of soft, delicious light fell, Like a
silver mantle, on snow crowned crag
and mirrored lake, on stream and
woodland, roof and spire. The city
lay asleep, and all nature seemed
bathed in sweet efulgence and holy
calm. Soon after midnight vast,
weird mass of feecy cloud swept
slowly up from the horizon, a
floating island of supernal snow
in a glowing sapphire sea. It
drifted on and up till, enveloping
the moon, she peeped out from be-
hind it like fair girl face through
a bridal veil. A ring OF light, COL
orless as pearl, white as the ghost
of a dead sun gleam, surrounded her.
Once having caught her in its coils,
it rapidly expanded, and its outer
edge took a pale lemon hue. This
soon deepened into yellow, and that
to orange Then came circlet of
green, so tender, SO delicate, that it
could only have been wrought by
mermaids' hands in ocean palaces
of shadowy shells. The deeper en-
erald came next, followed by blue
of heavens own liquid dyes. An
airy scarf Of daintiest violet, and
broad border band Of rose color
blushing into aerial crimson, COM
pleted the ravishing concentric
tiara, and over it all fitted gauzy
cloud Grape, varying in tint from
the ethereal pink Of peach bloomy
beauty's cheeks to the faint spirit Of
green that dwells in an opal's heart
not a color, but mere gentle
dream of color. Two large golden
stars twinkled in and out amid the
gorgeous deity woven drapery of
film, as if enraptured with the love-
liness of which they formed part.
And ever and anon ift in the
great snowbank of cloud brought
out the queenly moon in full splen-
dor and sent 10000 glitterin:s rain
bow fragments whirling about the
sky, only to unite again in kali lido
scopic rings without end, and glolies
unsurpassed in a lifetime's recollec-
ton Of empyreal pyrotechnics. For
two full hours almighty power and
skill kept the curtains up and the
magnificent spectacle in view.
the wrong side of heaven is so tran
portingly beautiful and lovely, whi
must the right side be2-Colonel
