one rock near the road just above

setting for the depicting of some scene

no such hills and rocks as these. You

the great Canyon at the TamasopO.

can see the rails bend downward over
the edge of the canyon. A switch with

the track. No train can pass 1t with

The trolley is what would be called

want to give some extracts from
an ADLER pen than mine which really
thrills the soul Of any earnest reader.
They are from Campbelrs New Revis-
ed Complete Guide to Mexico, and l
believe will interest your readers. He
says: one writer on Mexico advises to
come to Mexico by sea and proceed
from the lowlands TO the highlands,
with the idea that this is the best from
a scenic point of view, to go upward,
and let the scene grow upon you. l
don't think so. but TO come from the
broad table lands to an abrupt jump
ing-off place. and look down, even
over the tops of other mountains, low
ct hills and sleeping plains away TO
the sea and let the pictures fade into
its mists, To my mind this is a pic
ture which no pencil can paint or pen
portray, and particularly in the ride
eastward 10 TampicO. At Salinas the
descent begins and is simply rolling
over one hill after another to San
Luis Potosi. Here we cross the Mex
lean National railway, and by the
steady gradual slope of the plain
runs down nearly 1900 feet in AZ miles
TO Villar. The descent to the coast is
by a series Of terraces; each terrace
has its range of hills on the outward
edge, which makes it very picturesque.
Here and there these table lands are
cut through by canyons and down
through them tumbles the water in a
thousand cascades. from terrace to
terrace and from one table land to
another. on down 10 the sea. From
Villar to Las Tablas is another drop
on the track of about 1900 feet and
there is a little upgrade TO Cardenas.
The run has been through the beauti
full lsidrO valley (Which is said TO
produce two million dollars in corn
each year. raising two crOps) The
track has twisted and turned . about
the mountain slopes. The descent has
been so gradual as to be hardly no
ticed and if you have thought the
scene grand which indeed it is, do not
exhaust your adjectives; they will be
needed a little further on. where you
can exhaust all there are in the Ian
guages OF the world. over these. the
grandest views of the world. From
Cardenas to Las CanOas is only four
teen miles. but the drop is about 200
feet through the very lovely -aIiey
where there is verdure bright and
green. Las CanOas means little ca
noe and the water falls in a hundred
cascades. Las CanOas is simply a
little canoe of valley. and the pref
