quarians still contained vases and furni-

Mrs A. ID. Warner told of visit to the
Grand Canon of the Colorado in Arizona;
illustrating her talk with pictures showing
its wonderful coloring though they could
give no adequate idea of its grandeur and
immensity, which words are alike power
less to describe, for they are beyond tell
ing or believing. Specimens were shown
of the stone OF various hues which form
the strata of its walls Other gigantic works
of nature as the ocean, or Niagara are
ded by sound, but over the canon
bioods a solemn stiffness, and no partial
) view, even, in advance, prepares one for
the awful sight of the vast chasm that
yawns at ones feet.
