Himalayas in their majestic height, the Grand canyon remains the first natural wonder of the world.
 Natures Titanic Struggle.
 While we may say that the Grand canyon is truly a canyon, it is rather an intricate system of canyons, each subordinate to the river channel in the midst. The river channel, lying more than 5000 feet below the vision, seem- ingly is a rather insignificant trench, attracting the eye more by reason of it's somber tone and mysterious sug- gestion than by any appreciable char acteristic of the chasm. It is perhaps five miles distant in a straight line, and its uppermost rims nearly 4,OOO feet beneath the observer, whose measuring capacity is entirely made uuate to the demand made by such magnitudes. Here some great battles of nature once took place, which has left its effect strikingly visible, yet of which we know nothing. The sur rounding country looks for all the world like the mouths of a thousand still volcanoes, while the coating over the surface of the peculiarly shaped depressions is like volcanic ash in tex ture.
 The Grand Canyon district lies in northwestern Arizona and coincides with a local uplift, or structural swell In the Colorado plateau. Its area is about 16,00O square miles. Over prac' tically all of this nearly level expanse one geologic formation, the Kaibat limestone, Is surface rock. Along the eastern border of the district sharI downward bend, known as a mono cline, carries the beds to lower level where they resume their nearly hori zontal attitude and continue eastward beneath the higher strata of the pla teau. The upward edges of thes' higher faces are known as Ech'
 .liffs.
 On the north the district Is walled
 ia by another line of cliffs and ter

Loading Guns With Air.

Jack Tar knows what it means to tote heavy shells around ship, but Jack Tar will not need to worry about this duty longer, according to the Popular Science Monthly. Ammunition is now loaded by pneumatic tube straight from the magazine to the firing turret. An intricate mechanism prevents the shells from entering the brooches of the guns at great speed and also pre- vents any mistake in firing.

~ OWN Bright Angel trail strag- gle the hardy burros. Then up Bright Angel trail they - scramble again. Part of the way their saddles were empty, where the trail clings so closely to the pre- cipitous wall of the Grand canyon of the Colorado that there is no room for a rider to stick on. Winding its tor tuous way upward, twisting about rocks, clutching the mountainside by inches, the trail gradually climbs the steep ascent from the river bed of the rushing Colorado to the heights above, 5000 feet above, mile straight up in the blue from the dark depths of earth's most wonderful treasure chasm of beauty.
 You have not seen America until you have descended Bright Angel trail in Arizona, writes Earl William Gage in the Utica Saturday Globe. Nowhere else on earth exists such depression into the surface of the earth, from 1000 to 6,O0O feet deep. The canyon of the Yellowstone is tri- fling in comparison with the Grand
 
 zona. The great gorge is 217 miles long, varying from 9 to 13 miles in | width, the maximum depth being G. | GOO feet. Here the tourist stands at tho top of the mountain peak at the start and to gain the victory land must descend 5000 feet of sheer rock. Elsewhere, we stand at the foot of the mountains and must ascend. At Grand canyon the rules that regulate tourists are reversed in everything.
 "The Grand Canyon of the Colorado Is the greatest thing in the world, v says one writer. It is absolutely un- paralleled and it's beauties and grand eur are far beyond the grasp of the writer or the artist.

Ell PASO. June 22-The first version
of the battle at Villa Ahumada came
from Mexican sources. The absence of
dispatches from American commanders
caused prevailing feeling of uneasi-
ness, because the Latins' stories, of
course, gave the Mexican force credit
for whipping the body of United States
| troops two or three times as large.
The engagement took place on the
Santo Domingo ranch near the Mexican
town of Carrizal, which is nine miles
southwest of Villa Ahumada, the Next
can field headquarters in northern Chi
huahua. The number of dead, American
or Mexican. is not definitely known
here yet, but nearly score of Gen.
Pershing's men are said to have been
killed. and the MeXicans are said to
have lost more than two score. Seven
teen Americans are declared by Mexi-
can officials to have been captured, and
to have been hurried to Chihuahua city
under adequate guard. A machine gun
used by the Mexicans is reported to
have done heavy execution.
The Americans engaged are thought
to have been members of a troop from
the 10th Cavalry, negro regiment, re-
turning from a scouting trip to Guz-
man. The size of the Mexican force,
whose commander, Gen. Felix Gomez,
was killed, is not known.
Gonzales Withheld the News.
News of the battle was received in
Juarez early yesterday afternoon by
Gen. Francisco Gonzales. Carranza
commander of the military zone of the
border. For some reason Gen Gonzales
kept the story secret until late in the
afternoon. when an American, J. c.
Huppel, returning to the border from
the interior, brought to Ell Paso the
news that he had seen numbers of
Mexican dead along the Mexican Cen
trail railroad tracks at Villa Ahumada,
and had been told that there had been
an encounter.
Gen. Gonzales first step after con-
firming the news was to issue a state
ment placing the blame on the Ameri-
can commander. He charged that the
American troops fired first on the Next
cans and that their shots were directed
at courier who had just presented to
them request that they retire.

Military authorities here expressed no

heavily in the fight. but pointed out

the civilians had been warned by the

have planned to withdraw to a more
