BIRTH OF THE GRAND' CAN YON.
Nature’s Mighty Forces That Wrecked
the Crust ot the Earth.
“How do yon explain it?” inquired |
one on meeting Sir John Murray, the
eminent Knglish geologist and presi
dent of the Royal Geographical ho
clety, referring to the Grand Ganyon
of the Colorado. This was briefly the
answer, though not in his words:
“On either side of the wide plain ex
tending from sixty to a hundred miles
to the right and left of the canyon
evidences of severe volcanic action aiv
visible. In the center was a plateau,
but you now took down upon it as the
vast chasm of the canyon Thrice tile
volcanic forces of nature, operating on
either side, violently and with tremen
dons power, forced this plateau up
ward, and Anally in one cyelople, tie
mendous upheaval the plateau parted,
and tilt* Grand canyon, the wonder and
mystery of the world, was born
“Imagine a loaf of dough rising si
lentlv under the continuous pressure
of the yeast until Anally the crust is
broken and tin* loaf divided into two
Then look at this broken crust ot
mother earth In the early days a
vast area embracing a great portion of
the interior of the American continent
was covered with water It was a
great sea All over the canyon fossil
oyster shells proved this contention
The Grand canyon opened; the waters
of tin* inland sea rushed through in a
tearing flood and carved the fantastic
forms you now see."
The questioner further inquired of
Sir John. “No doubt this was all very
remote, in the early ages of tin*
world?”
“Oil, no.” said Sir John “Modern,
quite modern—not mt>re than twenty
or thirty million years ago!”—Leslie’s

Be the Model for
Your Own Clothes!
Rarely does a man who wears
ready-made clothing look right
in it. It was not made for him,
and no matter how well it may
apparently fit, the fact remains
that when the suit “settles” and
loses its ironed false form, it
will cave in here, bag there and
wrinkle somewhere else.

kind—they are unqualifiedly BETTER in fit,
