In the canyon proper the great
forces of nature have wrought won
derfully. Enormous granite boulders
have detached themselves from the
mountains and rolled down thousands
of feet. crashing their hundreds and
thousands of tons into the rocky
gorge. Here the river continually
plays upon them, searching out the
seams and splitting them up, and
wearing them away and polishing
them smooth.
The Rock Pile of the World.
In the canyons middle, below the
dam site, the jungle of rocks in the
narrow river bed appears as though a
thousand blasts of giant powder had
rent the mountain sides and tunbled
every rugged projection into the
depths below. There is no dirt or
sand in this river bed; everything is
rock. The imperishable granite, gray,
pink, and vari-colored, oldest of the
geological formations, made by the
welding of various substances when
the globe was molten mass; the
later limestones and black volcanic
rocks, conglomerates also melted by
great heat, the hard red sandstone and
its white and brown contemporaries,
formed from the grindings of other
rocks subjected to enormous pressure.
and lastly the geyserites and sulphur
rocks, soft and honeycombed, the re-
suit of ceaseless spoutings of steam
and hot water from the earth's bowels
all are found in wonderful profu-

Below the canyon where the river
runs more peacefully, all these forma-

Japanese Dwarf Trees.

In Japan are some very remarkable
trees. They are hundreds of years
old and not a hundred inches high.
The most marvellous collection is in
Count Okuma's garden, near Toxic.
Here are pine trees that started to
grow in the seventeenth century, that
at the dawn of the twentieth century
are not too large to be carried in one
hand. pot and all. Others, whose seed
was planted about the time when Co.
lumbus sailed for America, are already
outstripped by saplings planted year
before last.
In another place is grove of lili-
putian plum trees, gnarled and knotted
and twisted by centuries of wind and
weather, that are none of them too
large to grace dinner table, as they
often do when in full bloom. More
marvellous still, there are other little

The Japanese are past masters in
the art of dwarfing trees. They nip
off the trees roots and pinch its limbs
and starve it with little soil and let
it go thirsty and dry, but at the same
time keep the breath of life in it. up-
til 1t becomes the veriest travesty of
a tree, manikin vegetable, with the
wrinkled face of an old man on the
legs of little boy. Infinite patienes
and skill and time are given in order
to stunt and dwarf into these gro
tesque growths.

A Giant Fire Cracker.
Watching the government engineers

canyon for the transportation of sup
plies to build the dam-GO,0OO barrels
of cement alone will be needed-the
writer observed the explosion OF big
charge of dynamite, which burst with
a roar. echoing up and down the can
yon with deafening reverberations.
Immediately an oblong granite rock of
some 80 tons weight was torn from
its base and hurled down into the river
hundred feet below. Skaters of
rock flew in all directions, and a great
splash of water rose like n geyser out
of the black depths of the canyon.
Yet this huge block of granite was
but a baby addition to the family of
boulders which had been detached by
more giant forces of nature, and
thrown into the river bed. A few

1t seemed for time as though the

refusal to recognize conditions, plunge
the whole empire into civil war ana

compelled to practically capitulate ms

some 6O.0O0 acres. The necessary cap

proposition, and large party of en-
