ItulTt'ts of cciituric's lies sfMltoroil mh 

 wide as W.vcliff\''s ashes, ;fltli()ii,uli 

 the linal fra;;nuMil lias lodged only a 

 little way, so to speak, below the riiu. 

 Siu'h performances are fro(iuontly 

 ;iiv(Mi in these aniphitheators without 

 human aid. by the mere uiulormiiun^ 

 of the rim, or perlhijis it is hen^ that 

 Sisyi)hus rehearses his unendin.u task. 

 Often in th(> sileneo of night soiue tre- 

 nuMidous fra.mnent has been hoard 

 crashini;- from terrace to tcrraco with 

 shocks like thunder peal. 



The sjiectacle is so symmetrical, and 

 so c()m])lete]y excludes the outside 

 world and its acustomed standards, it 

 is with difliculty one can acijuire any 

 notion of its immensity. Were it half 

 as deei», half as broad, it would bo no 

 less bewildorinii', so uttci-ly does it baf- 

 fle human Rrasp." 



In a late issue of the American Bee 

 Join-nal, Bro. York has the following 

 to say in regard to stopping olT and 

 visiting this groat wonder of Nature. 

 "The Santa Fe Route to Los Ango- 

 le.s is the one over which likely most 

 of the bee-keepers will go who live east 

 of Chicago. Of course, all who live 

 along this route will also go by that 

 road. In tlie advertisement of the 

 Santa F(> in this issue are described 

 two trips, one of which i)rovides for 

 a stop-over at the Grand Canyon in 

 Colorado, while the other goes right 

 tlirough to Los iVngelos without any 

 extra stop-overs. Some of us have 

 about decided to take the trip that has 

 a stop-over at the Craiid Canyon, and 

 rest there over Sunday, arriving there 

 Saturday evening and leaving Mon- 

 day morning. It is a long joiu-ney 

 from the East, or even from Chicago, 

 to Los Angeles, so that a day's rest, 

 ospecialiy on Sunday, would doubtless 

 bo much api)reciated. By leading Chi- 

 cago Wednesday evening, at 10 o'clock 

 we can stoj) at the Grand Canyon and 

 still arrive in Los Angeles a full half 



day ahead of the lirst session of the 

 con\-enlion, which meets on Tuesday 

 evening, August IS. If we can get to- 

 gether a company of 18 to start from 

 Chicago at the same time, Ave can have 

 a tourist oar to ourselves, which will 

 not only take us to the (Jrand Canyon, 

 lint after visiting that wonderful 

 place wo can continue the journey in 

 the same car. This, it seems to us, 

 would bo very desiral»l(>. We will Ito 

 glad to make all necessary ari-ango- 

 ments here in Chicago for any who 

 wish to join the company starting from 

 here on Wednesday evening, August 

 11:. 



Those who are unable to spend 

 quite as much time on the way can 

 leave Chicago on Friday evening and 

 still get to the conv(>ntion on time 

 ou Tuesday. But as this trip to Los 

 Angeles may be the one of a life time, 

 it seems to us that wo all can arrange 

 to spend two days more, and leave 

 Chicago on Wednesday evening, Au- 

 gust 12. 



We will be glad to announce in the 

 Bee .Tournal the names of all who ex- 

 pect to go to the convention, if they 

 will let us know. It is just two 

 months until the great meeting will 

 1)0 hold in Los Angeles. This will be 

 ample time for all who can go. to make 

 every necessary arrangonuMit for the 

 trip." 



GOING TO THE CONVENTIOV. 



Some Particulars Regarding Cost, Stop-Overs, 

 Going to tiie Grand Canyon, Ktc. 



Before deciding positively a))out go- 

 ing to the California convention, most 

 of us would like to know some of tlu^ 

 I'.irticulars regarding cost, tinu- of 

 starting, stop-overs allowed, etc., and 

 the following in a l.ate issue of the
