ence in so many places that nothing
le,s fragile than giar. boulder can
long exist.
"There are four so-callel 'fords' in
he Grand canon; 'El Vale de los
Padres, which is known as the Faith
ers Crossing, Dandy Crossing, Lee
Crossing aud Stone's Ferry. The last
two are about 300 miles apart, and
there is no way of crossing between,
except by boat-in some stretch of
comparatively smooth water by fly
ing. The walls of the canon rise vertic-
ally for many hundreds of feet, and
the places where it is possible to reach
the river are far between. Even these
fords of the Colorado are dangerous, the
water runs SO fast and the footing is so
insecure.
"The whirlpool rapids of the Mag
contemplate, but it can be said without
exaggerating that the Niagara rapids
are peaceful waters compared to some
of the long stretches of foam in the
Colorado. The whirlpools ON the Colo
RADIO are of the true type-the water
swirls around and round and there is 4
broad, hollow, funnel-shaped hole in the
center through which one might peer
down a good many feet if he could how
er over it. After the river energies
| from the Grand canon it flows through
flat country, into the Gulf Of Cali
fornia. Even there it is a treacherous
stream, full of sandbars and quicksands
and almost as dangerous to cross as in
the rapids above.
"Not all of the canon s toll, however
is collected by the river. No one knows
what immeasurable hidden wealth is
contained in the canon walls, and every
year prospectors go into these gloomy
4del.ehs, seeking the treasures which
they guard. These men, through some
sudden rise of water or for some other
reason, frequently lore their lives in
trying to escape from the canon. Most
of them, I fancy, go mad with hunger
and die in trying to scale the precipices
1t is the most awesome place in the
world, down there where the river is
flowing where it is never fully day
light, except for few brief minutes al
midday, with the roaring water on one
hand and the giant cliffs towering TO,

A No1sE1Ess GUN

Hiram Maxim s latest invention now
seems to be of more Importance than
would appear at first sight. A noise
less, kickless gun with efficiency un-
impaired is desideratum in war. The
new continuance is attachable to any
rifle, and reduces the noise of the ex-
ploeion to a minimum, almost to that
of the click of the hammer.
Like many other important inven-
tions, the principle on which it works
is simple and has been used in other
directions. Noise is produced by the
action of suddenly-expanding gas, Cor
any other action,) creating vacuum
| or tending to do so. This disturbance
| of the air causes waves to start which
reaching the ear, give rise to the sen
sation we call sound. There is no
| sound without an ear. The new inven-
ton is simply a reversed turbine at
the end of the barrel which takes up
the explosive forces of the gases so
that they do not "split the air." and
at the same time they overcome the re-
coil. In the meantime the bullet speeds
on without being affected.
In hunting this device will be of val
ue. In war it seems to be important
in that it will largely change infantry
tactics, just as the smokeless powder
and long distance rifles have changed
formations from closed ranks to tho
open order and havo made the skirm-
ish line a most important feature of
attack instead of mere developing
force The noiseless gun will be hard
cr to discover by an enemy, will give
the advantage to the side which is the
best in strategy, and will make war
more deadly when one side "gets the
DROP" and by the same token will
make it more difficult for armies to
meet each other face to face.
Anything that adds to the deadliness
and to the difficulties of war is TO be
welcomed, because in the last analysis
it will restrict nations from indulging =
in "thc last argument of the king. =

GRAND cANoN's DEATH TOLL

every year the river and the Grand
Canon of the Colorado take their toll in
human life" recently said Frederick
IS. Dellenbaugh, the artist-author, who
has painted pictures and written books
about that wonderful river that rushes
for hundreds of miles through gorges
hundreds of feet deep.
"When / was with Major Powell on
his exploring expedition through the
Grand canon several years ago, we lost
several men, and the few other expedi-
tions that have followed ours since then
