SUNRISE OVER NEW YORK.
Morning View Of tho skyscrapers 10 Seen
From Jersey city Heights.

MORNING Wow Oh Wo SAyscS~peS 10 Sce"
From Jersey city Heightss
.one Of the finest sights about New
York. said the Jersey man, 'is sunrise
seen from Jersey City Heights. II people
realized what 1t Is the brow Of the hill
would be lined with crowds OF nature lovers
every morning.
Everything that has been said or written
about the glories Of the morning sky in
other parts of the world holds good here.
What the vapor laden atmosphere Of the
ocean does In the way Of color work Is ac-
complished here by the haze % smoke and
steam that fills the atmosphere.
~The panoramic effect that people go
into mountains to get Ia provided In this
case by the wide expanse Of low lying
meadow land and the broad river between
the rocky ridge Of the Heights and the city.
It is a combination Of effects. you see, and
over and above what you find elsewhere
you have the city itself.
"One would want the language IL poetry
to describe It, To say that It looks like a
city in the clouds only suggests ono phase
of the picture. To call 1t a fairy city
only hints in general way at the airy and
graceful beauty Of the dozens OF towers-as
the great buildings seem to be in the haze
which line the horizon and seem to reach
up to the sky.
the peculiarities OF the morning light. You
see. the smoke haze clings close to the earth
and the river. All the buildings lining the
Jersey waterfront and the lower buildings
on the other side are lost In 1t.
at is a dense, woolly cloud mass In the
uncertain early light ranging from dusty
black to murky gray, streaked with tawny
patches reflected from the upper sky whore
the clouds are alight with the first rays Of

really are above the ground when seen In
| full daylight. They are silhouetted against
a sky Of Kaleidoscope beauty.
First it will present the crimson beauty
Of vast furnace near the horizon, grading
off through oranges and yellows and won
| derful pale green's to the deep blue Of the
night sky overhead. Later. as the sun
| climbs higher, the crimson turns into a
| flood OF gold for background TO the build
ings. The light then catches their side

! In hues varying from lilac to coral pink,
| and In very tall towers the sunlight flashes
clean through the lantern windows 30 that
"The spectacle just now lasts about two
| hours. The first faint streak OF light can
be detected few minutes after O'Clock,

high enough to go completely out Of the

But, In fact, New York is a grand spec
tacle at any hour OF the day or night when
seen from the top OF the Jersey City rock
ridge. Come over and see for yourself"

instantaneous, as only a slight
gasp was audible.
