We shall, therefore, pass them by, and shall com-mend our readers to a study of this great wonderworkfrom the pine-clad verge of the Grand Caiion itself.

It must have been transported to this placefrom some distant quarry by the powerful agencies of theGlacial Epoch. Flight Banlv of tlte Canon. Half a mile above the Upper • Approximately 24 x 20 x 18 Upper Falls of the Yellowstone.
