Grand Canyon an Inspiration.

An interesting example ,of the way the Grand canyon “gets” those who live a while with it is found in the technical, and to most of us the incomprehensible, reports of the government topographers and geologists yho studied it for years. Apparently, in spite of themselves, these men to whom rocks and tanyons are the grim business of life often interrupt their dry, technical pages by brief bursts of enthusiasm, not inspired in the least by science, but by the pure emotion of sublimity.
