24 WILD ANIMALS OF GLACIER NATIONAL PARK. 



While the zone hicks elements purely utilitarian, it is supremely 

 endowed with the highest type of the esthetic. Its lofty mountain 

 peaks crowned with the c:lories of sunlight and snow have inspired 

 the nature-loving native to regard them as connecting links between 

 earth and heaven. To the more learned mind they are an equal in- 

 spiration, as in their beauty and grandeur they rise far above the 

 good green fields, with strong appeals to come up higher and stand 

 in the clear light and gaze far and wide over the tiny fields of man 

 below and then off over the sea of giant peaks that challenge the 

 strongest fibers of mind and body.
