AMERICA, THE LAND OF GREATEST WONDERS.
It has been said that Americans “talk big” of their
country. It is most natural for us to acquire that habit;
for we live in the midst of Big Things. Our continent is
big. The United Kingdom would go twice inside of the
state of Texas, and still leave plenty of room. And our
country is full of Big Sights. The distinguished character
istic of the wonders of the land i 3 their magnitude. Nature
has, in America, found expression in her largest forms,
and wherever the traveler goes in this country to see the
sights he finds them the greatest of their kind. Niagara
is the “Great Thunderer”—“greatest” of cataracts in its
volume of water. The fresh water lakes are the "great
est" in the world. The Mammoth Cave is the “greatest”
cave; the Sequoia Grove contains the “greatest" trees;
the Yellowstone Park contains "great” waterfalls and the
Giant Geyser; and the Colorado River has hewn out the
Canyon whose magnitude demands a stronger term than
“Great”, and claims the title "Grand”.
You will find much to interest and entertain you in
this week's Mentor, The Herald's weekly magazine on the
Natural Wonders of America.
\ LESSON OF THE RECENT FLOODS.

"With nil Its horror and shoe k, there comes Inevitably a great
Joining of mlnda nml hearts. The whole world feels the thrill of kin

social caste and class distinction, the most unworthy thoughts of beings
fashioned all in tin Image of their Maker, are leveled and forgotten.
Indifference and selfishness disappear. Throughout the nation, through
out the world, there thrills the uplifting current of brotherhood, the con

"Wherever civilization hn: exerclSed Its hen flcent Influence upon
the minds of men there Is felt, so r a little time at least, the sense

there are many who w 111 he stirred by the shock of this
dreadful story to a deeper and trior e sympathetic understanding with the
conditions that surround them on every side.
'The woman whose health ia w crocked by overwork, the child whose
body and mind arc turned by early labor, the tenement dweller who
falls victim to disease because of u nwhoSesom* eo dlttons of living
these are sacrifice to natural laws as much as arc the thousands swept
away In the floVds lint, while lb e flood deaths are due to an ollf .

/ "There Is another difference: Th victims of economic wrongs due to
cupidity and Indifference outnumber a thousand to one the victims of
natural causes beyond control. All the deaths In these fetirfu! floods
are less than those caused every year In a single large city by condi

“Nature decrees those who do not have certain amounts q*

civilization which defies It and hr tngs down the penalty.

"This Is not due to hardness of heart; it is due to faults of vision.
Men display such sympathy In one case and such ruthlessness In an

No. 1. THE GRAND CANYON OF THE COLORADO
(Copyright, 1913, Viy The Asso elated Newspaper School, Inc.)

THE human mind cannot grasp
the magnitude and magic
beauty of the Grand Canyon.
T’noso who have not been
th»re either don’t understand or don’t
believe half they hear of It; those who
have been there cannot desnribe it.
One. man who saw It was actually
doubtful of Its existence. When
brought suddenly to the rim of what
has been called the “Divine Abyss."
he turned his head away, covered hts
eyes, and exclaimed, ’’l don't believe
It U real!" ,
The Canyon Vias been cut out by the
Colorado river In the course of a lit
tle matter of time twenty million
years. The cutting has been done
through horizontal layers of rock of
various sorts and colors, one above
the. other. It is now from 6,000 to 7,-
000 feet drop, from 13 to 15 miles
across, and about 200 miles long. It
was known to the Indians of course
from time Immemorial. The Spaniards
saw It, and rumors floated East con
cerning It early in the last century.
Major Powell, heading a government
exploration party, came through the
Canyon In '69. He found It hard to
make people understand the charac
ter of the Canyon—and why not? The
Indians who had known, it so long
viewed It with awe, stood on its brink
prayerfully, and explored It with wor
shipful reverence. They made a trail
down V) the depths, by the Colorado
river, and spent their winters on the
lowest plateau. It was warmer there.
The old Indian gardens are rich and
fertile. Sometime along In the '7o’s
a wanderer from farther north, John
Hnnce by name, went to the Canyon.
Coming from Missouri, he was curi
ous and “wanted to know.” He never
left the Canyon; and now, an old man,
he lives at the rim of It In summer
and in the lower levels In winter.
Some think that Hunce, living for
so many years in what Is called ‘ the
awful hush of tho CHnyon," should he
dumb. But he Is not —far from It!
He can tell you how the Canyon came
to be, and he can point out the great
architectural structures carved out by
the river, and tell you the names that
have been given them. Hance lived

THE AUGUSTA HERALL, AUGUSLA, GA-
there during, th§ years in which a visit
to the Canyon Was like pioneering. In
1897 twenty-jhree people went there.
They had to ride in wagons 75 miles
over rough roads, from the lumber
town of Flagstaff. There is now a
luxurious hotel, “El Tovar,” on the
brink of the Canyon, and last year
there were nearly forty thousand
visitors.
The oldtimers say that -the real
spirit of the Canyou cannot be ab
sorbed from a hotel piazza: that one
must earn his right to see it by rough
ing it through the woods. They dis
courage any attempt to pictur the
Canyo 'n words. They say that no
Punier or writer has got the "Sud
denness of it, the Size, of it, and tile
Hush of it.”
Many artists, have tried to picture
the Canyon. The most notable paint
ings of it are those by Thomas Mo
ran. Mr. Moran accompanied Major
Powell in one of his explorations, and
he paints with full observation and
scientific knowledge. In 1910 a group
of artists, including ,Mr. Moran, visit
ed the Canyon. The newcomers caught
the "Canyon fever,” and they are
painting it in one way or another to
day. But the Canyon is still at large.
It will not he confined to canvas. It
will not even be photographed. The
air is so clear that tjie camera mixes
the foreground and the far ground,
and loses the distance.
There is no way to compass tho
wonder of it. Against Painter, Poet,
Photographer, and Traveler it op
poses a calm sublime, inscrutable,
eternal Silence.

TUBERCULOSIS COWS
Action Taken Following Ad
dress of Dr. Soule, of Athens.
Great Care Exercised.
Atlanta, Ga—At the coming session
of the General Assembly, that bodv
1 will be requested to make an approp
' nation for reimbursing owners of dis
eased cattle, which are condemned
iby the state and killed. Action, look
ing towards this end has been taken
jby the Atlanta Dairymen’s associa
tion, following the address made at
! the State Capitol this week by Dr.
j Andrew M. Soule, president of the
State College cf Agriculture at Ath
| ens.
In this address, Dr. Soule stated
that he knew of instances where tu
berculosis, which is so prevalent
among the dairy herds of the state
today, had been communicated from
year to year by healthy cattle stand
ing in the same stall with affected
cattle,, glthough healthy animals take
the .place of the diseased ones at tiio
end of each twelve months.
He pointed out the fact that one
of the most successful treatments of,
tuberculosis in humans has been the
use of Cod Liver Oil and also cotton
seed oil. He added;
“Since a goed grade of cotton seed
meal contains a considerable per
cent of fat, largely in the form of
oil, it should be very wholesome for
affected animals, and should tend to
help build up the tissues of the
body against the inroads of tubercu
losis, by reason of the fact that it
also contains such a high per cent
of protein.
The college herd of d?*iry cows is
free trom tubeculosis. Forty or more
animals have been examined annual
ly arid not a single reaction has been
obtained. This herd has been fed al
most exclusively on cotton seed meal,
silage, shredded corn stover, and pea
vine hay, and aised on Befmuda sod
if! ihe summer, cotton seed meal be
ing fed as the combining concentrate.
This herd is not only in a' healthy
and vigorous condition, but is yield
ing more milk at present than ever
before in its history, and it has been
so managed that it. has made a net
profit from year to year.”
The dairymen are organizing
throughout the state with a view to
eliminating tuberculer cattle from all
herds.
