poured forth by that most remarkable
of rivers. 1000 miles in length, and with
it's drainage area equal to New Eng

Virginia combined, the falls of Niagara
almost sink into insigniicance- 1t has
been for years the despair of

of the wonderful, and that stretch OF
the Colorado known as the Grand Can
yon, with it's sullen stream flowing for
200 miles or more between walls of rock
from 1000 to 1000 feet in height is
reckoned as one of the most s~tupendous
of natural creations
Although for ages h Colorado can
yon existed amid the solitude of prime
val nature and during icons of geologic
years slowly carved It's way deep down
through the strata of vast plateaus, it
was not until 40 years g that it's pas

three prospectors looking for gold I'M
dertook an Involuntary voyage through
the gloomy chasms and amid its turbu-
lent apids and w~hirlpools, having been
driven to this hazardous experiment by
hostile Indians, and only one of the
number escaped alive to tell the tale.
This man, Henry White, a native of
Iowa, was the first known explorer of
the Grand canyon- But two years later,
in 1863, Major ]. w Powell deliberately
undertook the exploration of the can
yon with four boats and nine men,
starting from Green River City, on the
Green river of Utah. One man desert
ed. and three men later left the party
and, ascending to the mesas above the
river. were attacked and killed by In
dians- So it was with but two boats
major made the voyage. These daunt-
less explorers were three months COW
ering the distance of about a thousand
miles, but finally emerged in safety to
relate a story unparalleled in its ac-
count Of perils encountered, hardships
endured and obstacles overcome. The
heroic leader still lives at Washington
where he is well known as the chief OF
our bureau of ethnology and enjoys the
reputation of being one of the foremost

The old tradition that the Eskimos
are a people of small stature is with
out foundation. On the contrary, in
Labrador, Buflinland and all around
Hudson bay the height of the men is
probably above rather than below the
average of the human race, but as a
rule the women, although very strong,
arc considerably shorter that the men.
They are brave, Industrious, provi-
dent and communicative, in all of
which characteristics they contrast
with the northern tribe of Indians.

temple is the temple of KarnalS, in
Egypt, which for over 5000 years has
been falling into ruins. Originally the
temple was $40 feet wide and 200 feet
long, or twice as large as st. Peters
in Rome. 1t was begun 2,700 years
before Christ, and was morethan 1000
years in building. Six men with OK
