A Strange RainstOrm.

N
The common phrase. raining down is
familiar to all OF us from childhood. but
| have stood where it actually rained up
instead of down. said Judge Leigh Clark,
OF Ell Paso Tex. at the Shoreham.
This unique experience l had with a
party of friends while on jaunt among
the Sierra Madre Mountains, in old Mex
leo. We climbed Mount Candelaria, a
peak that rears its capped head to
an altitude of $4,000 feet. We ascended
to a great height, with chasms of tre-
mendous depth on either hand, above
which drifted great masses of clouds. 1t
began to rain, and the wind drove the
water in these clouds in slanting sheets
up the sides of the mountain. while not
drop descended from above.
1T ceased to rain after awhile, and then
came spectacle OF uncommon beauty.
The whole sky was a mass of rainbows.
and such a gorgeous combination of col
ors as hovered over these lofty peaks l
never witnessed. When il comes to mag
niicent scenery, the Republic of Mexico
is not surpassed by any country in the
world, and people go thousands Of miles
to view old-world sights that pale by
comparison with the natural beauties that
Providence planted thickly on the other
