In the whole Of tue earth's scenery. No

derful atmospheric efects-all come
upon one with force and power as
though nothing had ever before been
read or heard in connection with
them. The falls by moonlight are
truly fascinating spectacle. The roar

shimmering fur above the trembling
earth. the lunar rainbow. combine to
make an inimitable picture.
