a puzzle in nature. The Colorado

There is nothing in the way of
animal life on the desert except
mountain sheep and how they exist
and upon what food and drink, no
one seems TO know. but they are
there in great numbers and can be
seen at long range upon the mount

tance is quite deceiving, in the light
air what we would suppose to be

mile on the desert. You see a burro
caravan out across the valley and
you think it about a mile away, but
when you measure the distance you
would find it nearer FIVE miles than
one. Twilight lasts at least three
hours after sunset and dag breaks
nearly as long before sunrise.
