Grand Canyon, Arizona, right on the edge, Feb. 26.—This is written with scenery. ‘On the left the sun is sinking, an Arizona sunset. Come out here, if you want to know how it looks. On the left’ the moon is up, gaining color, as the sun goes down, ‘and from this spot you could walk a few feet, then jump down one mile. ‘This is the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, with its thousgnds of tow- ers, mountains, forts, of every shape and color, rising up from the Canyon's floor one mile down, There are many kinds of folly. The champion kind would be an at: tempt to describe this scene. It i more than 20 miles from this type- writer, moved out of doors, to the other rim of the canyon. Yet you can almost count the trees that grow from the rim, This air is clear, sev+ en thousand feet above the ocean, to which the rushing Colorado is carry- ing the water from distant moun- tains. ene A genuine artist, with soul, tem- perament, and similar things would be, sick and probably faint if he could look up from these typewriter letters, coratuly padded with rubber, toward the east and west. Below the pale moon, almost full, the sky is a dark rose purple, below the purple there is a dark broad band of heavy blue. The moon, queen of heaven, rides in triumph on a colored throne as wide “as the sky. The western horizon is a rim of gold} the farewell effort and defiance ofthe sun, rolling down to China, and the canyon below is changing its colors and shadows, obedient to fad- ing sunlight and growing moonlight. It would be worth*your while to sce that, shadows and bands of culor a mile high, exposed layers of old earth that took millions of centysies to build, laid bare by the rushing wa- ters, each with ite color and charac- ter, each an open book to the geolo- xist, showing exact age a pluinly as you read it in s@pginted face, ‘he shadows grow, heavier with each. passing mot ag the golden light fades, Tmeon gently 3.
