Vastness of Grand Canyon.

Few persons can realize on FIRST view
of the Grand Canyon that 1t is more than
q mile deep and from to 10 miles wide.
The cliffs descending to Its depths form
a succession of huge steps, each 300 to
500 feet high, with steep rocky slopes
between. The cliffs are the edges Of
hard beds of limestone or sandstone; the
Intervening slopes mark the outcrops of
softer beds. This series OF beds Is more
than 1900 feet thick, and the beds lie
nearly horizontal. Far down in the can.
yon is q broad shelf caused by the hard
sandstone at the base of this series,
deeply trenched by q narrow inner can.
yon cut thousand feet or more into the
underlying "granite." The rocks vary
In color from white and buff to red and
pale green. They present marvellous
variety of picturesque forms, mostly on
titanic scale, fashioned mainly by
erosion by running water, the agent
which has excsvated the canyon. %.

pro German propagandaists with view

at the Columbus office Of the Ohio
State Medical association
A curious similarity in records that
have beSS proven absolutely untrue
and the persistence with which they
have been repeated during the drive
to enlist American physicians, is the
cause OF the belief that their circula-
one widely circulated report is that
sixty thousand British and French
physicians have been killed thus far;
that in n single engagement during
the battle OF the Marne 257 British
doctors were killed within n single
hour. and that more than four hun
dred were killed when a hospital base
was raided. -'

retary of the Ohio association, AFTER

Colonel Goodwin cabled to London
and received official information to
the effect that since the start OF the
war in August, 1914 exactly 1876 Brit
ish physicians had been killed, G2
have died OF sickness while in service
and 96i have been wounded. As more
than 10000 British physicians haye
served with the colors. II will be seen
that the percentage OF deaths is very
low. particularly In view Of the fact
that less than 20 per cent Of the
wounded received fatal injuries
Unofficial reports from the head
quarters of the French medical ser
vice indicate a like percentage. The
casualties on the eastern front, and
particularly on the Balkan front,
among the allies. have been some
what heavier.
