in the Arizona Wonderland was the
subject of an illustrated lecture last night
at the Eastern High School in the second
course of free lectures to the people The
lecturer was Rev. Ulysses g. B. Pierce OF
this city, who spent several years in the
region described. The first place to be
visited and described was the cliff dwell
lings. These rude homes were pictured and
described. By clever arrangement OF the
pictures the evolution of the clih homes
was explained, passing from what was lit
tie more than hole in the wall to the
many-storied palaces of the later day. The
manner of life also was described, making
the cliff dweller a realty to the hearers.
From the cliffs the lecturer proceeded to
discuss the famous agate forest of Arr
IONA. For miles the trunks of giant trees
turned to the most eXquisitely colored
agate lay strewed about in careless pro-
fusion. The agate bridge, the only speei-
men of it's class known, was shown ana
described. The region was wild and weird
in the extreme.
The audience was taken to the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado. Elsewhere. SAID
the speaker there is nothing approaching
it in awful grandeur and magnificent
sublimity. 1t is an aeon-worn water course,
two hundred miles long, in places twelve
miles wide and more than mile deep, IN
the bottom of which the seething river wor-
ries it's way through the granite gorge.
The views shown were mostly taken by the
lecturer
