NEW TEMPLE OF THE GODS
Beautiful Spot In Southern Utah That
Is of the Beaten Trail Of
the Tourist.

In the ordinary sense, no part of
the United States properly can be
called unexplored. The new Temple
OF the Gods, In southern Utah, is a
discovery as far as the average tour
lst is concerned, though by no means
is It unexplored or new" territory.
A bare II miles to the west runs the
well-traveled state highway from Salt
Lake City to the Grand canyon. An
old trail branches or from the road
between Panuitch and Troplca, in Ger
field county.
In the distance is Table Gin
plateau, source of the Hscalante riv-
er; nearer, the broad amphitheater of
the Parla valley; at his feet the New
Temple itself, verltable. sunken gar.

TO TEACH BLIND TO DRAW
English Idea Is That Art May Help
the Sightless to Communicate
With Outside World.

One OF the many experiments of the
Royal Drawing society has been to
teach people TO draw by touch. The
pupil is blindfolded and feels n simple
shape, like hammer Of n spade, and
draws 1t with his eyes open. An I'D
vanced pupil has drawn the head of a
classical bust and the mask of Bee.
thoven.
These experiments fired Mr.. G. r.
Albeit, the director Of the society, with
the idea OF drawing by the blind. He
has devised medium which looks like
the frosted stun on q matchbox made
liquid, by which the draughtsman can
follow by touch what he has drawn
and correct or add 10 his work, So far
there have been no experiments with a
blind pupil.
Mr.. Albeit does not claim for It more
than that a blind man can draw the
plan or n design of something he
wishes to record and explain. A blind
gardener has been known TO 60 Into
ecstusles over the unfolding shapes of
a plant, and the drawing of these
shapes, known TO him by touch would
undoubtedly give him a form of es-
thetlc pleasure. In any case, 1t would
Increase HIS means of communicating
with the outside world.
A great boon, II the method is prac-
tIcable, would be that 1t would enable
the blind to write and to read writ

great as to be prOhibltlve. Attention
to this phase Of the subject has been
recently attracted by a report made
by Doctor Lyon, supervisor Of the

bureau of mines. BY this means a
regular communication could be main

be reached by any ordinary means.
II Is also suggested that the same
