The Domain of Despair.
Saturday Evening Post.

There are various kinds and degrees of
deserts in this country, but the most ut
terly hopeless are found In the so-called
Great Basin, between the Rockies and the
Sierras. This is a vast region OF deserts,
with here and there an area where nature
in prankish mood seems actually to have
made an effort to produce spectacular ef-
fects of horror From the Wasatch noun
tains to the Sierra Nevada extends a
CHASTITY stretch of territory, which Is inter-
sected by series Of high mountain ranges,
running parallel north and south. with
valleys between.
A bird s-eye view of the landscape shows
three principal ranges. two of which are
known as the Amargosa and Panamint,
and between these Is Death valley, So
called because 1t is the very abode OF
death
Imagine a narrow strip of arid plain,
shut in between two mighty mountain
walls, the peaks stretching up 10000 feet
into a burning sky. The surface Of this
plain, which Is 175 feet below the sea level.
is a mere crust of salt and alkai. through
which a ridden horse breaks up to his
knees into horrid paste that eats both
hair and hide.
gray haze that never lifts makes every
thing indistinct and puzzling TO the view.
No vegetation is to be seen save very
scanty sagebrush. with leaves that are not
green. but gray. and here and there a sort
height. with extended branches. 1t is
called the dead man. because in the
night each stalk looks like corpse by the
wayside
But the supreme horror of the place is
the heat, which Is unspeakable. There is
blister your face. Streams now from
springs down toward the valley, but never
reach II, because the heat dries them up
