A HEV NATIONAL PARK.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

A two-mile-high playground Is tho
latest addition to Uncle Sans national
parks. It Is located in Colorado. forty
miles as the crow hies from Denver.
The route by wing Is by far the short
est for wagon roads make so many
detours among the canyons that sew
enty horizontal miles, and one which
Is perpendicular. must be traversed
between this city Of the Rockies and
the new riot Of nature that Is to be
preserved for posterity.
1t was fifty years ago that Lord Dun
raven, an English sportsman and
globe trotter. wandered into the re-
gion that makes up the new Rocky
Mountain National Park. There he
shot elk and bear and mountain sheep
until his bag was full. But. having
surfeited himself with sport of this
nature, he remained to absorb the
beauties Of the mountain scenery He
became so impressed with 1t that he
tarried for months.
Then he went to Europe and brought
back the best artist he could find to
paint some Of the beauties he had dis
covered. Incidentally, he employed
descriptive writer to come all the way
to these American wilds to write about
them. He contemplated buying q great
tract of this land and converting 1t
into shooting preserve. He never
consummated this ambition, but he in
troduced this heart Of the Rockies" to
the world.

M|NSK, land OF FEVERS,

Dense, Wild Forests Of Spongy Turf
Makes Difficult Feat Before
the Teutons.

The government of Minsk. whose
borders German armies are approach
ing on three sides. north from Kovel,
east from Brest Litovsk and south
from Wilma, forms the heart Of White
Russia and one of the most desolate
regions in the European division Of
the cars empire" says a war primer
Just issued by the National Geographic
Society The government of wilma,
half overrun by Teutonic invaders
bounds Minsk in the north, Grodno
government bounds it in the west and
the government of Volhynia in the
south. With the fall OF Brest Litovsk
there is no other powerful fortress on
the western line until Bobruisk, first
class fortress $50 miles northeast Of
Pinsk or 240 miles northeast of Brest
Litovsk, Is reached. This fortress lies
behind the great White Russian
swamps.
Somewhat rolling and hilly in the
northwest. by far the greatest part OF
the government, however. Is taken up
by lowlands and marshes. These dreary
marsh stretches reach far to the north
beyond the borders of the government
and in the south almost to the fortress
of Rovno, which lies west of Gal1cian
I<eLuDerS. In the west These LleA 'iA
lands reach to Brest Litovsk. and. to
the east, they spread into the govern
ments of Vitebsk, Mogilef, Smolensk
Chernigef and Kief. Drainage OF these
fever swamps and useless sponge LANDS
has been effected to a small extent by
system of canals and other works
There still remain, however, great
areas where the floating land lies al
together waste and quite impossible.
''Minsk has an area of 1928 square
miles. The highest point in the gov
eminent, in the northwest, is found IN
a narrow range of hills, which, rising
between 500 to 1000 feet, form the di-
vide between the Black sea and Baltic
waters.
New Line of Defense.
1.-THE Pripet river crosses the govern
ment from west to east, draining its
swamps to the Dnieper, while the Bere-
sina crosses it from north to south,
passing before the fortress, Bobruisk,
which, with the swamp lands before,
forms the central link in the Russians
new line of defense. The BereS1na now
takes the place of the Bug, and Bobru-
isk that Of Brest Litovsk.
THE marshes often cover hundreds
of square miles of cherries country,
with lakes and muddy ponds inter-
spersed. There are many areas of
treacherous sands that go to make the
region an unusually dangerous one for
those unacquainted with the paths that
thread it's labyrinth. Joined in the
maze of peat bog, morass, quicksand,
swamp, pond and lake are vast forests,
of dense growth, cavernous and black.
