r?"^i)10 bill before congress to cre
j ute the Mount Desert National
I park upon Mount Desert Is
- land. Maine, Imr called sfte
lal 'attention to one of the most dls
inguished senile places In the court
ry. Already it is n national reserva
lon, President Wilson having pro
(aimed it i lu* Sleur de Monts National
nontnijpnf t\v<? years ago. The move
nt^ to promote it 'to national park
io(id marks the appreciation of New
England and the country- genially re*
tilting from the i>ublic attention de
oted to this spot in consequence of
he president's act.
Sieur de Monts is th^ only spot on
Jie Atlantic coast where sea i^nd moun
;ain meet. Also it is typical in the
wst sense of the mngnltlcence ht the
Jeclduous forests of the ?Cast; these
ire not elsewhere represented In the
Mtiomil scenic group. Mount Des
>rt will be the only oatlonul park j
?st of. the Mississippi. ?
Many thousand# of persons who do ?
Dot Identify this splendid group of sea- j
|irt mountains under its present title
)t Sienr de Monts will place it at
moo unritr the title proposed for the
latlonal park, as the granite heights
tfhlch rise behind Bar Harbor and the
)ther resorts of Mount Desert Island.
The rounded summits of more than a
lozen l??\v mountains and the beautiful
akos which nestle fit their feet are
?closed in the reservation. Nowhere
lse may the pleasures of seashore and
tx-k-hnund coast be combined with
hose of a wild mountainous wilder

[ For nmny yeaijjp^ these piountalns

the Appalachian range, tin* perfection
of their native, jdiruhs, the luxuriance
of fhelr wild flowers, the charm of
their wild valleys atitf lakes, anil the
Stlrriiflg vieivs of Island-dotted sea
from their slopes nurl summits bring
visitors hack again summer after sum
mer. All of these mountains were In
private possession ; summer estates
were shutting out large areas from
public use. That is why a group of
public-spirited men undertook a dozen
years ago to acquire the ^fountains
and present them to the nation. Some
gave their estates, others gave money
to buy holdings which could not tie got
by gift. The Mount Desert National

Older Than thp Rockies.
Summer visitors always are inter
? ested in the extreme age of these
I mountains. They, are granite of the
! Archean age. They stood there, doubt
less far loftier and perhaps Serratfed,
before the now loftier Rockies and the
Sierra Nevada even emerged from the
prehistoric sea. These summits have
been vou^iled in the intervening many
millions of years by the frosts and the
rains and the ginnt Ice sheets wliich
' descended time and again from the
north. The record of the glaciers may
1m read still upon their slopes.
The mountains are <*ntlrely sur
rounded by "fine automobile foiyJs along
the shore which connect the seaside
resorts. But in many pluces the cliffs
"spring straight from the ocean, whose
waves lash and corrode their,, granite
feet. A greater variety of Rensuttons
^ay be had from this combination of
sea and mountain than is offered by
any Western national park, however
large and majestic. * .
