REMARKABLE ROCKS

WHERE FACES ARE SEEN WIND AND BAIN FREAKS Every holiday maker in Britain knows at least one rock popularly endowed with, human features.

From certain points (his big rock and little rock bear a striking resemblance to a woman with her hands upon the keyboard of an instrument. Thousands know the 1 uncti Rock at Llandudno'.

It looks like those rude carvings one associates with Easter Island, or those', carved by Indians on totem poles. It is one of the most remarkable poised rocks we have, and is situated in a beautiful country--31 Manv of tlie rocks and cliffs, which make up Landis End have been endowed with human features. There is Dr. Johnston, for instance; if one catches the features from the right angle, he can seo the famous lexicographer in the stone very well. Not far away is Di. Syntax. He weighs many tons, for lie is a ponderous rock, but one can see the simple face of tho old clergyman carved by the cunning hand of rain and wind and frost. . At Lizard Point, also in Cornwall, there is the Bishop’s Rock. People often fail at first to see anything human in this rock, but the longer they look the more distinct do the smiling and benign features become. A prominent object pointed out to holiday makers in the l -Trossachs is the Cobbler. It is a huge rock on the top of a mountain, and a nearby and much .smaller rock is called the Cobbler s Wife Jean. A while patch on the mountainside is supposed to be. tho pail of milk Jean has spilt.
