 these varied phenomena, but best of all the pot-holes, are illustrated

From the standpoint of either the geographer, the geologist or the 

 lover of scenery, a visit to any of these glens is well worth one's while; 

 but no single one is so easily accessible, nor presents such a variety 

 of phenomena, as Watkins Glen. Nearer centers of population it 

 would be far more famous than now. and would be visited by scores 

 of thousands. Waterfalls and gorges in Europe which can not be 

 compared in beauty or interest with a score of glens in the Finger 

 Lake region are far better known to the traveling American than Wat- 

 kins Glen. It seems well, therefore, that it should be taken by the 

 state, made better known, and opened freely to the public.
