0 THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. SATURDAY, APRIL H, 1904 ' A COLOSSAL GORGE. Tk gabllmv Beaatlra of the Craa Caayaa of ArUona. This twrlfifl gush Is more than 200 miles long and more than a mllo deep, and its area pxcxm1s 2,(KK sciunre milt. From the El Tovar rim, on which I stand, to the gloaming, snow veined rrags on the opposite side of this stu pendous cleft the distance Is thirteen miles. Human vision cannot take lu the full exteut of this wide pageant of terror and glory nor Is It within the ca pacity of words to set forth its over whelming splendor. The plalu ou which I stand Is nearly S,X eet alxrte sea level, and here, In a prodigious fissure gaunt, abrupt, frightful and wonder ful are assembled mountains, valleys, enormous rocks, precipitous crags, ra vines of mystery and forests of gloom, through which the black waters of the Colorado rush onward In their resist less flow and over which the dauntless eagle wings Its upward flight to meet the sun. All the forms are here tliat ! imagination could construct, and all the tolors are here that glow In sunset kies. Far down in the subterranean vista the forests show like green lawns. Not less than seven geologic periods in the physical history of the planet are displayed in the layers of tinted rock black, green, gray, red, brown, blue, pink, orange and alabaster, with many other mingled hues that constitute the vails of this colossal gorge; walls that aeem continuous and unbroken, yet everywhere are rifted with lateral fis sures, the beds of mountain streams that swell the flood of the great Colo rado river. The American continent has nowhere else a spectacle to show commensurate with this in beauty, grandeur and awe. William Winter in Pacific Monthly.

Of course he need not expect to be able to grow the rarer sorts of nymphaea, but he can succeed with many beautiful varieties of water lily and other plants of that class. A half barrel Is not very at tractive In Itself, but its lack of beauty may be concealed by the plants, or it may be sunk its depth in the earth. When It contains a fine specimen of tome aquatic plant we will forget all about its lack of grace. When prepar ing for these plants put in rich black mud from the bed of streams or muck from swanlps to the depth of a foot; then plant your roots in it and fill with water. Add enough water from time to time to make up for that which is lost by evaporation and give the tnb a sunny place la the yard or garden. If you want to grow more plants than one tub will accommodate, it is a good plan to take four, five, six, or as many as you may decide on, and have them sunk in the ground close together, so that the general effect will be some thing like that which a large tank would give. A better plan, though a more expensive one to carry out, is to have a tank constructed of heavy planks. These should be securely bolt ed at the ends and the joints made tight by white lead in the grooves.

It means literally an eater of iron and came to its present use In this way. There was once a law that forbade buying fish to sell again, and the fish hawkers, who still carried on their trade in spite of this law, were facetiously termed fish eaters or fish mongers, for, to evade the law, theii large purchases of fish were said to be for their own consumption. Gradually the term monger was applied to other trades, as cheesemonger, until at last It came to mean any middle man, as distinguished from a manufacturer, and bo was applied to the dealer in hard ware.
