 halnly the work of water. But the Col orado's canyon is more than 1000 times larger. and as a score or two new build lngs of ordinary size would not appre- elably change the general view of a great city SO hundreds of Yellowstones might be eroded in the sides of the Col orado canyon without noticeably aug menting It's size or the richness of its sculpture. But it Is not true that the great Yosemite rocks would be thus lost or hidden. Nothing of their kind in the world, so far as know, rivals El Capltan and Tisslack. much less dwarfs or in any way bellttles them.

These CO lossal cliffs, types of permanence, are about 5000 and 6,OO0 feet high; those of the canyon that are sheer are about half as high and are types of feeting change. while glorious domed Tissiack, noblest of mountain buildings. far from being overshadowed or lost in this rosy. spiry canyon company. would draw every eye and in serene majesty "aboon them a" she would take her temple. palace or tower. Q noted writer, comparing the Grand canyon in a general way with the glacial Yosemite, says: And the Yosemlte-ah. the lovely Yosemite!
