 rally stirs theJdeepest emotions of a leads Prof. James to ask: "Who can gaze upon this weird and wonderful beauty and not feel that God must love beauty for it's own sake? The idea that everything is formed solely as a background upon which to display the development of man takes powerful hold upon us when we yield ourselves to the persuasive eloquence of Brown ing, but voice louder and more pow .erful than the great English masters peals forth in ones own soul when he. gazes upon Gods great work here, and he feels instinctively that the AL mighty made this glorious grandeur centuries of centuries before man ever could see it, in order that He, person ally, might enjoy it's beauty. Just as the garments of Aaron the priest were to be made for glory and for beauty so do I think this great canyon was made as a revelation to man that.God loves to make things solely for glory and beauty
 Still dominated by profound re- 9hgious fervor, the author continues: "To me this canyon is the holy of holies, the inner temple, where each man may be his own high priest, open the sacred veil, and stand face to face with the Divine. And he who can thus talk with God' may not show it to his fellows, but he knows within himself the new power, calmness and equanim- ity which he has gained, and he returns < 4l ~1-f 4 l. s- glimpses of the Divine. And yet.what words can tell how utterly insignif- cant man must feel himself to be when he finds himself in the depths of this great gorge, solitary and alone, and finds not this Divine presence? He may be king on his throne; a despotic ruler in his office; q monarch in his store; tyrant in his workshop; but here he is so dwarfed, made so small, that, if he have any soul at all, he is humbled and made reverent at this marvellous manifestation of su- perior power, might and greatness
 The Grand Canyon district, with a faint glimpse of whose wonders we have been made acquainted, lies in the arid regions of southern Utah and northern Arizona. It contains an area which is roughly estimated at from 13,00o to 16,OOo square miles, or about the size. of the state of Maryland. In this district there are, in less than 500 miles, 520 falls, cataracts and rapids which, in beauty of color or rock and water effects, are without equals any, where on the earth.
 Many famous men have from time to time explored this district, among them Lieut.. Ives, of the United States corps of typographical engineers; Capt. George w. Wheeler, and Maj. John Wesley Powell; but none has pre- sented to the American people as graphic an account of it's marvels and mysteries as that given by Prof. James. c. ". wEIPPIERT

The first sun motor to be put to a practical everyday use is believed to be that recently installed at Pasadena, Cal. Its principle is as old as man. Its application is new. By means of a huge construction of mirrors, resem- bling an inverted umbrella on large scale, the heat of the suns rays is con- centrated on long cylindrical boiler, which without the application of any other heat furnishes sufficient steam for the running of ten horsepower engine.

and his lectures on the American southwest have been annual features at many eastern seats of learning.
 At the earnest solicitation of his friends, Prof. James has recently consented to embody the result of his researches in Arizona ir a book entitled In and Around tho Grand Canyon" In it he tells Hhow he fol- lowed all possible traces of the early explorers and relates, often in their own fresh, vivid words, the records of their thrilling adventures and hair breadth apes-adventures so wild that they rival those we read in the most sensational fiction. The author himself has met with many perjlous experiences, and tells them well. He finds the scenery magnificent beyond description, the Indians and their legends and customs picturesque, and the life of the trayeler and explorer fascinating in spite of its hardships. The illustrations, consisting of so full- page plates and 70 smaller pictures, are reproduced from photographs taken on the spot; and the publish
