The Grand Canyon district. with q
faint glimpse of whose wonders we
have been made acquainted. lies in the
arid regions of southern Utah and
northern Arizona. 1t contains an area
which is roughly estimated AZ from
$4,000 TO 10000 square miles. or abou,
the size of the state of Maryland. In
this district there are. in less than 500
miles, $50 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 IN
time explored this district. among
them Lieut.. Ives. of the United State
corps of Typographical engineers:
Capt. George W. Wheeler. and Mai.
John Wesley Powell; but none has pre-
scented to the American people as
graphic an account of its marvels and
mysteries as that given by Prof.
James. G. W WEIPPIERr

of the Brooklyn institute; the Frank
phia; Princeton university; Column

napolis. Nd, and other prominent
seats of learning.
At the earnest solicitation of his
friends, Prof. James has recently
consented to embody the result of
his researches in Arizona in a book
entitled In and Around the Grand
Canyon" In il he tells how 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 Representatives, so wild
that they rival those we read in the
most sensational fiction. The author
himself has met with many perilous
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 traveller and explorer
fascinating in spite of its hardships.
The illustrations, consisting of 3O.full-
page plates and 70 smaller pictures.
are reproduced from photographs
taken on the spot; and the publish
ers, Little, Brown & Co., of Boston,
have provided the volume with one
of the most artistic covers of the
year.

John Alberi Skoog. the counter
feiter. who now hovers between life
and death in the prison ward at Belle

flicicd wounds. led double life. and
he did il so cleverly that hardly a
person in Williamsburg will belle, e
that the would-be suicide and albert
a. Brown" the photographer of
Grand street, of Williamsburg, are
one and the same. That he is a man
who escaped from prison in Joliet
after killing a guard is beyond their
power 10 realize.
He Was Her Best Tenant.
He was n favorite in the homes of
his neighbors. In the republican club
of the district he was one of the lead
ers and was regarded as a power at
the polls.
In the Swedish church. at Leonard
and Griggs avenue. the same Brown"
was one of the most devout worship
ers and regular contributor.
To the poor of the district he was
a verita BILE Robin Hood. His neigh
bors said he gave away more than he
could afford. They thought that he
lived on the proceeds of the little pho
tographing establishments and did not
know that night after night his
printing press on the top floor was
turning out fifty and one hundred
kroner notes, as well as notes of I'm
Gle Sans currency and bills of the
Bank of Scotland.
His Public Side.
F.. NJ. Clifford. who has charge of
the house where Skcog lived. said that
as "Erown" he was the best tenant
they had. Mrs. Clifford said she could
not believe the man was counter
feiter. Skoogs' apartment was just
across the hail from her, and Chief
Hazen and his secret service men
were, at the moment when she ex-
pressed her faith in Skoog, packing
away the plates from which the coun-
terfeits we're printed.
Skoogs' Workshop.
Skoog'5 apartments were on the top
floor. II really was a workshop.
There was only one bed in the place.
The back room vas given up to the
tub in which he made his paper and
shelves in it were filled with bottles
of chemicals and cans of inks.
In the front room was a table. and
on il a hand press ON which the bills
were printed. The other furniture
was a sofo and mirror. with n little
work bench beside it. There were
heavy lace curtains on the only win
dow to shut out prying eyes.
Chief Hazen says Skoog photo
graphed ms notes on zinc, etched
them and went over the etching as an
engrayer.
