THERE Is a gigantic plan pro
posed to convert the Grand
canyon of Arizona Into a huge
lake behind a dam 700 feet
bleb. Over this dam will flow
a constant stream of water at the rate
of 30,000 or more cubic feet a second,
sufficient to turn all the machinery in
the United States, if not in the world.
In addition to this, the water thus
stored will provide constant and never
failing irrigation for 5,000,000 acres of
land which is otherwise hopelessly
waste. The plans are already on Da-
per, and there is plenty of money be
hind the enterprise. All that la lack
ing is government consent to ruin in
part the grandest work of nature in
the world, the Grand canyon, and place
at the bottom of the great abyss a
lake 7 miles wide and 35 miles Inner
The canyon proper is 9 miles wide. 13
miles long and a mile deep, so all of
its scenic beauty will by no means be
destroyed. In fact, one standing upon
the rim and looking at the water be-
low, without previous knowlerie-A will
be una'ble to tell that man has in any
way tampered with nature's great dis
play. Three states, California, Nevada and
Arizona are vitally interested In the
project, and In these states there has
already developed a sentiment which
will tend to exclude the private con
struction of the dam and plant, and
vest it entirely In the hands of the gov
ernment. At the point in Arizona near
the Intersection of the Arizona, Cali
fornia and Nevada state lines, there Is
a point In the canyon which is only
150 feet wide. Here a wing dam can
be constructed at comparatively low
cost, which may be built as high as
one pleases without fear of securing
too much water pressure behind it.
The canyon wolls are solid rock, as is
the bed, and much blasting will be
necessary in order to get the bottom
of the dam actually below the bed
rock of the stream.
Once constructed, the water will
back within the canyon for 35 miles.
Most of this will be cared for by the
smaller canyons leading off from the
big canyon, which are not included in
the measurement of its 13 miles of
actual length. These small canyons
are also walled by solid rock, and

Suggestions of New York Man for
Securing Pure Air In the
Large Cities.
William Van V. Hayes of New York
presents suggestions for improving
the care of the streets in New York
so as to secure pure air. All sorts
of micro-organisms are found in the
dust of the streets; anthrax, tubercu
losis, diphtheria, tetanus, typhoid and
dysentery have been detected In It
The tubercle bacillus when dried In
large, thick crusts and left in a cold,
dark place like a corridor will live for
six to eight months. The bad condl
tlon of the streets is in part due to
carelessness of the citizens and In
part to antiquated methods of clean
ing. The removal of ashes in cans
on a long automobile cart, without
emptying them in the street. Is advo
cated. The use of vacuum cleaning
wagons is advisable. The people must
be educated not to throw things into

therefore there is no danger whatever
from an overflow from any Bource.
In order to flood surrounding land
the water would have to rise to the
height of one mile, less 700 feet, nd
cover an area nine miles wide within
the canyon. The dam will, therefore,
be absolutely safe, for the retaining
wall at the end of the reservoir, owing
to the structure of the walls of the
canyon at that point, will bear prac
tically no weight of the water what
ever. The effect of the construction of this
dam cannot well be grasped by per
sons unfamiliar with what has been
done by way of development in the
southwest during the last decade. The
southwest, in the first place, is pre
paring for a vast increase of popula
tion from Europe once the Panama
canal is finished, but It is recognized
that without industries only a certain
amount of increase will be accommo
dated. Arizona has shown a census

The Grand canyon of the Colorado Is
the most stupendous chasm In the
world. Standing in the presence of
these precipitous rocks which tower to
heights of 5,000 feet, piercing the
clouds above; the abyss yawning at
his feet, the spectator is overpowered
by the Immensity of the spectacle
confronting him. There is probably no
other spot on earth where man is more
impressed with his own Insignificance
or more overwhelmed with the majesty
of nature. It is the grandest of all the
world's gorges. It inspires one with
its sublimity; It appalls him with its
heights, its depths, its awful solitude.
The hand of the infinite has chiseled
these rocks into most fantastic forms.
their towering turrets and imposing
minarets standing out boldly In bas

One cannot conceive the vastness of
.it all and is met by a series of sur

yonder gorge, or rock, or peak, or cape

The Servian Drum.
The men who play the big drums In
the Servian army must have an eas
ier lot than the drummers of other
lands; for they do not have to carry
their own drums.
In nearly all cases, instead of being
slung in front of the man who plays
it, the instrument is put on a small
two-wheeled cart drawn by a large
dog. Of course the drummer must
play as he marches; but the dog la
so well trained, that there is no diffi
culty in doing this.
The animal keeps its place even
through the longest marches, and the
drummer walks behind the cart, per
forming on the Instrument as he
bottom of tne gorge the river, turbu
lent and picturesque, madly rushes on
amid its rock environment, lashing it
self Into foam. About the mighty
peaks soars the eagle, and struggling
vegetation contends against fate for a
foothold among' the rocks. But the
beasts of the forest and the flowers of
the field rarely intrude upon these
lonely solitudes.
It is conceded that the Grand canyon
cannot be adequately painted in words,
yet some comparisons may give an
Idea of Its immensity. Its total length
from the confluence of the Green river
to Us outlet in the Gulf of California
is more than 700 miles. With Its nu
merous laterals, some of which are
shown In the accompanying illustra
tions, its length Is more than 1,000
miles. The great scenic section com
monly meant by the words, the Grand
canyon of Arizona, with a depth of
more than a mile from the rim of the
Iver, is 217 miles long. It has been
estimated that if all the earth and
rock that bas been and will be exca
vated for the building of the Panama
canal, from the first inception of that
great enterprise by the French com
pany to its ultimate completion to sea
level by the American government
could be dumped Into this great rift
in the Arizona plateau, It would still
require twenty thousand times as
much more to fill It; and the surface
area of the built up territory would be
more than 16,000 square miles, or
equal to the whole of Switzerland, or
to Massachusetts, Delaware, Conectl
cut and Rhode Island, combined. If It
were possible to take the whole chain
of the Allegheny mountains, turn them
upside down and dump them into the
Grand canyon, there would still be a
tremendous canyon left. If the tallest
peak east of the Rockies could be
planted at the level of the Colorado
river, its summit would still be far
below the feet of the observer stand
ing on the rim. The greatest of the
pyramids of Egypt Is 485 feet high, the
Washington monument Is 555 feet tall
and the bat on the statue of William
Pen that surmounts the City hall at
Philadelphia is 557 feet above the
level of the street If one placed the
Pyramid of Cheops upon the floor of
the canyon, planted the Philadelphia
City hall upon Its apex, and then
poised the Washington monument up
on that their aggregate height would
reach only a quarter of the way to the
top.
It Is 44 years since MaJ. Powell, long
the distinguished head of the United
States Geological survey, signaled to
his fellow countrymen that he had
made the run of 1,000 miles of Ameri
can canyons. The scientific world
stood agape, for the feat was believed
to be all btu impossible. Up to Pow
ell's time man thought of the canyon
as something altogether forbidding
and unapproachable so little was it
known, so much was It dreaded and
even now, when men have descended
to the river by man-made trails and
the telephoto lens has sesrehed out
the unreachable places, though tour
ists have confronted it with a battery
of cameras, thought geologists have
borne their testimony and artists have
sketched and painted, and travelers
have exhausted vocabularies to give
expression to their wonder still we
have caught but a glimpse of this
manifold mystery, for the particular
view that enthralls us Is but one of
ten thousand views.
Thomas Moran, whose masterful
painting of the canyon adorns the capl
tol at Washington, and who, above all
other painters, has succeeded In de
picting its illusive atmosphere, once
said: "I can understand how a man
can attempt to paint the canyon, but
how can a man be foolish enough to
attempt to describe it!"
