WILL BE WONDERFUL ROAD
Highway Of Solid Granite in the Rocky
Mountains a Rival Of the
Appian Way.

Taking example from the famous
Applan way, which has the name Of
being the first great road undertaken
by the Romans ms a public work, the
state Of Colorado, with the help Of an
appropriation by the United States
government, is building a highway Of
solid granite In the Rocky mountains.
No other highway In the world, 1t Is
predicted, will provide travellers with
so magnificent n scenic setting, close
to n sheer fall of 5000 feet on the
other side Of the great concrete posts
and cables that will safeguard vehicu-
lar traffic. One gets an idea of the
road from the practical statement that
It is costing $4,000 a mile to build,
Like the Appian way, on which long
stretches Of pavement first travelled
over 300.odd years before the Chris
tian era, still remain practically per-
feet, the chairman of the Colorado
highway commission believes that Colo
RADIO Is creating a work which will defy
the centuries and stand, on compile
ton, as the most wonderful road In
the modern world.

TAI SHAN A SACRED PLACE
Chinese Mountain Said 10 Be the
Oldest Permanent Place of
Worship on Earth,

There are five sacred mountains In
China. and the most sacred of all Is
Tai Shan. the Great mountain, said to
be the oldest permanent place Of wOr-
ship IN the world. In 2000 B. c. Tai
Shan's crest had been a regular scene
Of sacrifices and prayers for nobody
knew how long. Emperors and lesser
officials. even COnfucius the Wise,
%journeypd up the long, narrow trail Of
Tai Shan to cOlne near to the God of
Heaven and Earth and made their
prayers before Him.
Since those days Of simple worship,
many temples and shrlnes have been
built on Tai Shan's slopes. Buddhism,
Taoism. C0nfuclanlsm, all are repre-
scented, and there are temples, too, to
the Lady Of the Mountain, who Is
called by some a fairy, by others a
goddess. and by others the spirit
or soul Of the mountain. Whatever
her character. the lady Is well repre-
sented on her mountain top and her
shrlnes are popular.
The journey up the mountainside Is
accomplished by the traveller partly in
a swinging chair supported by Chinese
bearers and partly on foot. The way"
consists Of a granite walk, interrupted
every little while by flights Of steps
which stretch on and on and become
sleeper and closer together until the
pilgrim has mounted 6,G00 steps and
the peak of Tai Shan is reached.
Here there are more temples and
thick incense and grave old priests
who announce a pilgrims presence to
the gods by ringing deep-toned bells.
A little way of Is pointed out a rock
overhanglng a sheer precipice. From
this rock, called THE Rock of the Love
Of Life" persons who had sick rela-
tlyes used TO fling themselves, hoping
that the sacrifice Of one life would
appease the gods so that the other
would be spared. Now the dangerous
cllff Is barred, and pilgrims are forced
to appeal to the gods In the conyen-
tional Chinese methods.
