Rockies, and have seen nothing like
them in the Himalayas. We have
little patch of four hundred acres in
Colorado at the fotShills Of the RocAr
les which we call the Garden of the
Gods. Not far from CerrO de Pasco
in the heart of the Andes, looked
down upon by mountain peaks from
Il, 200 to 10000 feet high is a similar
garden, which covers tens of thOus-
ands Of acres, and with hundred for-
nations where the Colorado garden
has one. In the Andes there is one
rock called the King, a gigantic fig
ure as big as a house, with a crown on
It's top 3o'sed upon a neck not npc9
than TIRES feet in DIANE Ter, and 50
long that it carries the great head high
above all tts surroundings.
There is another rock known as the
Turtle, a gigantic block the shape OF
a tortoise that is believed to uphold
the world. A third looks like a great
steamboat perched on a pedestal, and
a fourth is q mighty tower chiseled out
by the gods In this same region is the
Rock Forest, consisting Of hundreds OF
acres Of columns which stand individ-
ually out on the plain and which in the
distance look like a great " Gods
And there there are castles, palaces
and grand Qualifications With little
imagination you can find almost any
kind Of architecture or the model OF
any great structure. i have seen
table rock which hangs over the
harbor at Cape Town in South Africa
There are table rocks of marble here
in the Andes which look as though
they had been cut by a sculptor.
Going to Cerro de Pasco, I saw
rocks like those of the Giants Cause
way, although they were not of hex
agOnal shape, and in riding through
the mountains I have seen castles of
the purist white marble which in
their grandeur excel those mighty
ruins the work of man. on the Rhine
These mountains have all the cOlOrs
of the Colorado canyon. Now the
rock is blazing white above and a mar
ole palace seems to have risen out
of the golden rocks below, which in
turn remind one of the rusted mar
bles of the ParthenOn at Athens. Here
the rocks are brown, further on they
are blue, red or gray. The gray is
the most prominent color close to the
sea.
Much of the formation is limestone.
Here the mountains are ragged and
rough. Further on they rise into
ruined cities. 1 saw some the color of
think of the grand Notifications of
Delhi, in India. I saw others which
had spires like the cathedrals OF
Cologne and Milan. These spires were
as white as Carrara marble, and they
glistened like snow under the sun
Other rocks were dOme-shaped. and
others extend in great waves showing
the folds in the earth, forming SURG
ing walls of wonderful beauty.
Vegetation Is Remarkable.
Fruits can be grown all the way to

when We met two trains standing at
one OF ne sWitchbacks on a siding
They were waiting for US, and the en-
gineers said another train must pass
coming up before we started down.
At that time we We're chilled to our
bones. Mr.. RusseIls face was blue
with the sleet and the cold. and Flock

brake. We climbed out of our car and

engines TIE neat of the poiIer soon
thawed our blood and within a short
time our clothes. which had been wet
by the snow, had dried off.
We were still in the storm when we
lett the SwtJohhacS. The rails were
covered with sleel and we could not be
sure OF the tracks. At one place We
passed a gang Of trainmen who were
working on the road, and at another
time narrowly escaped a drove OF
llamas that was crossing the track in
the storm. AS they saw our tOboggan
the animals tt gan to run and they
went along on kangaroo jumps with
their indian drivers trOtting behind.
AT every hamlet along the way we
had to look out for the dogs. The
scurVy ours ran out and barked at the
car and snapped ar us as we went by
The great danger was that q dog
might set in front of the car and by
being run over throw us down the
sides of the mountain.
Earth Slides Dangerous.
We were scing too fast to watch out
for slides. When it rains in the Andes
the track has to be watched daily for
the masses Of earth and rock that fan
down upon II. and for this reason q
handcar is always sent five minutes
in front Of the engine to flag it for
slides.
By and by We passed Casapalca. and
there lost the storm. The sun came
out, and the sky straightway was blue
with white clouds. We could now see
for miles. The track dried and we
eoasted along at great speed through
some OF the most wonderful scenery
on earth. Now we would ride for miles
between walls of rock that extended
upwards for thousands of feet. and
now hang. over gOrges below which a

= A New Mystery On the Moon :
Professor Pasengs Discovery Strange Changes

! one of the astronomers who have 1ols
suspected that if there is no other klQ
! Of life on the moon, there is at Ieaett
some form of vegetation. His lates'
! discovery, however, seems to be con
/ cerned with something else than vegs-
tatiOn.
The immediate object of his observe
tiOns is what is usually called a era
Z ter" but which would be more accu,
rately described as a ring mountain
in the northwestern quarter OF Ihe
moon, close to the shore line or ING
drtedup lunar sea named the MaIS
Crisium, or sea of Crises" This crater
or ring mountain, has long been known
In lunar geography under the name u
Eimmart It is about Is miles in cl-
ameter and encloses a flat plain, or
circular valley, having a small NH III
the. center while the preclplIouS
mountain ring rises at one point lU,UVO
feet above the floor of the little valley.
This mountain wall shines with sinSu-
lar briiHance in the sunlight
Eimmart will be seen with its name
attached on the accompanying lunar
chart.
In January, 1913, professor Pickering
noticed that the interior of EimnarN
was extraordinarily bright so muen SO
that he called attention to the Iact III
the great astronomical journal, the AS
tronOminache Nachricht- During the
following March it had become reIa-
lively dark, and this darkness conJlnue9
all through the remainder of 1913 ana
also through January of this year IN
February, however. it began to bright
en-, and during the earlier part OF the
present month or March its brightness
has persisted, although up to March ~
it had not become as brilliant as 1t was
in January, 1913.
Now what causes these changes, and
what are those brilliant objects? Is
there something alive in Eimmart, or IS
nature playing pranks there all by her
self?
It does not follow that the moon is
as full of life as the earth is, and the
phenomena of Eimmart may have moth
ing to do with any inhabitants there.
But If there are inhabitants on the
moon it is hardly possible that they
could resemble any of the ami
mails dwelling on the earth, and for
that very reason it might be exceed
ingly difficult for US to recognize their
existence by any effects which they
might produce upon their surround
ings. AS to seeing them directly, there
can be no hope of that until telescopes
are made a hundred times more power
full than any yet constructed.

seems to be bed of green moss with
tufts of grass here and there. This
is the vegetation of the high plateaus,
which covers millions Of acres and
supports vast herds of uamas and
rode for about a hundred miles
over those plains, passing flock after
flock Of fat sheep with tails as olS
around as my arm. To my eyes they
seemed to have nothing to eat. but
they live on the moss and the thin,
fuzzy grass and grow fat Some OF
the sheep are owned by rich capital
lists. There is one firm which has
$4,000 and another near CerrO de
PascO which owns $4,000 and more
There are also hundreds Of squatters-
indians or ChOlos, who have small
flOcks- They live in little houses
about IS feet square, away out on the
plains. Their houses are OF mud or
sod with matched roofs held down by
rocks Near them are cOrrals for the
stock They are fenced with stone,
and each pen contains an acre or so.
Some of these squatters have great
flOcks OF llamas, and others Of don
keys. Now and then you see dou-
Bile corral with donkeys in one pen
and uamas in the other. All OF the
stock is herded. Every flock has its
man or woman, who stands and knits
or SPINS as she watches it Some OF
the herdsmen are children, little boys
and girls of ten or II years Of age,
who knit or spin as they care for the
sheep.

q am in favor OF the acrObatic dance
BY MARGARET MORRIS.
r n THIS article I said that would
explain the difference between the
benefit derived from the ball. room
dance and the more acrobatic dance Of
the stage which can be practised at
home any time. myself am entirely
in favor Of the acrObatic dance for this
reason:
There is really little or no physical
benefit to be derived from the modern
dance, because there is not enough
bodily exercise

tionaI discoveries that astronomers have
ever made.
An inhabitant of the moon would be
100 times. more interesting than an in
habitant of the planet Mars, because
his world is 100 times nearer to us. A
wireless telegraph signal would go to
the moon in a little over a second and
quarter. The moon is the only world

In the tango, the only muscles exer-
cised to any extent are those between
the knee and the ankle. The arm
movement is also slight, and the bodily
movement lies in the bending back of
the body as illustrated.
This movement is used to some ex-
tent in the maxixe, but really not
enough to make any difference in the
slenderness Of the waist
OF course, it is better to dance the
modern dances constantly than not to
dance at all, but a combination of both
would be ideal
You could use the acrobatic steps at
home, practising diligently every day,
