Two miners who recently returned from Grand canyon, Arizona, report a marvelous discovery. In the basin of the canyon, which was once a sand bed, and probably thousands of years ago a broad, level plain, they came upon the perfect imprint of a human foot, for the toes, heel, and every portion were plainly outlined, the imprint being apparently made when the sand of which the rock is composed was in a plastic state. It measured twenty-six inches in length and nearly twelve in width. While they were puzzling over the curiosity one of the mule drivers found several others, all the same size as the first. They were distinctively and evenly eighteen feet apart, showing the great distance which that monster with a human foot could step at a single stride.-Chicago Times.
