THE WHITE U

THE home of the president Of the
! United States, generally known ms
the White House, first became known
as such when it was painted white to
cover the marks of fire after being
partially burned by the British in 1914.
The foundation of this %world-famOus
structure was put down in October,
1872. 1t was the first building erected
In Washington. The site was picked
by President George Washington, who
also laid the corner stone.
The building was first occupied by
President John Adams, during the
summer Of 1900. 1t is two stories and
basement, and contains 81 rooms. 1t
is surrounded by a spacious lawn and
gardens, which are Enclosed by a huge
iron fence. Whether viewed through
the heavy foliage of the giant trees
or across winters mantle of snow, ii
always looks restful and dignified.
The White House naturally has been
the scene of many tragedies ami come
dies, much joy, and also has had its
share of anxiety and grief. II holds
a peculiar interest for the people of
all nations, those of the United States
In particular. 1t Is a point of pill
grimage for thousands and thousands
of people annually, who come to adj
mire its decorations and paintings,
study the relics of past occupants and.
If opportunity offers, grasp the hand
OF the first citizen of the land. To n
greater degree perhaps than any other
building in the world. people Of all
ages and ranks nave mingled under its
roof.

YOSEMITE VALLEY, CALIFORNIA.

full works of art. The valley Is only
eight miles long and less than two
miles wide. The park embraces n do
main about 80 by 4S miles. Here the
supreme artist has chiseled and etched
and painted an outdoor gallery of mas.
ferpieces unlike any other In the world.
The Indians termed the place the
Heart Of the Sky Mountains and called

themselves Ahwaneeches. or children

The excelling features of the Yo-
semitic are Its waterfalls and sheer.
bold cliffs. S~now-waters from high
mountains have found a wonderful
variety and beauty Of courses down
the mountain walls to the MERGED river
In the valley below. These peculiar
peaks strikingly resemble huge domes
and range in height all the way from
100 TO 6.000 feet. The falls which
descend their rugged sides range in
height from $50 feet-yernal falls,
which is only 30 feet wide It the top

said to be the highest waterfall in the

compels silence. Perhaps no valley in
the world combines so much that is SO
sublimely beautiful. II is "a bite Of
Paradise" sure enough.

UTAH-"THE PROMISED LAND"

state does not yield or cannot offer.
IT'S said that Utah contains enough

black marble to build a column from

supply the world for 60 years; the
greatest copper mine in all the world

The Wonders

MESA VERDE NATIONAL PARK.
BY T.. T. MAXEY

IN 1883 there a discovered in
Colorado, the greatest prehistoric ruins
in this country. A thorough examina-
ton of the canyon of the Mancos
river disclosed the fact that il con
tanned extensive examples of the mys-
terious remains of an extinct race.
Uncle Sam decided TO preserve and set
aside nearly 10000 acres as a national
park-Mesa tSpanish for high table
iand) and Verda (meaning green, from
the cedar trees).
Many narrow canyons with high,
sheer walls open into the valley. In
their sides are many of the best-pre-
served specimens of cliff dwellings
known. A large human population
lived in these ~caye-huts on the sides
of these sandstone cliffs. They be-
lieved that they were dependent upon
the gods to make the rainfall 10 their
crops would grow and worshiped the
sun as the father of all and the earth
as the mother who brought all material
blessings. Apparently they possessed
no written language and recorded their
thoughts only by means of symbols.
Cliff Palace. the largest dwelling-a
community house-had over 200 dwell
ing rooms, in addition to many sacred
rooms called kivas. Sun Temple, a
mysterious ruin, shaped like a letter
ID, is over 40 feet long enc GA feet
wide.
As the population of this community
increased the floor of the caves was
covered with rooms, and finally they
emerged from the caves altogether and
builded pueblos on top of The mesas
in the open country.
A visit to these ruins is much like
going back into another world.
