II seems that California possesses hot
springs like those of Iceland, which are CALL
ed Geysers. They are found on the eastern
side of the Sierra Nevada, not far from q
lake called Washo. The water rises to the
height of twenty-one feet, but the jets oc-
cur at intervals of five minutes, and when
they fall back into the earth, produce noise
like thurder. The opening Of the principal
let is about twelve inches, and Is surround-
ed by n sicious formation. The heat of the
water varies from 200 to 2l2 degrees.

"Col. Clemens speech was master effort,
surprising, far, any political address that 1t

cheeks, although unused to the smelling
mood" the next he would find himself stamp
