phur Pit Valley and would require a
volume for any adequate description.
From the three caves the visitor begins
to descend the terraces n0rthward and
crossing the
| (4S) TELLER PLATEAU
descends by easy grades into
| (49) WHITE SULPHUR SPRING PLATEAT
at the head of which is the beautiful
| (5O) RATH SPRING AND TERRACE,
named after the eminent German ge-
ologist who visited the Park in 1883.
A few yards further down is
(5D HAYNES TERRACE,
and near it, one of equal beauty, was
named
| (52) INGERsoLL SPRING AND TERRACE.
! (53) THE MINNEIIAIIA TERRACE,
is the most beautiful of all the living
springs on this plateau.
(54) THE THREE zEBRAs
| are hidden Ill small valley. Visitors
are apt to miss seeing them unless un.
der good guidance. One of them has
been named the Splitting Zebra, and
there is basin near it named
(55) THE sPITTOON,
into which it elects drops of hot water
during that portion of the summer
when water is abundant. Visitors
spend hours watching the peculiarl-
ties of these three beautiful Terraces.
(56) DOVER PLATEAU
is surrounded by great magnetism
walls very much resembling the cliffs
of Dover, hence its name.
(57) THE LONE ROCK
is situated near the east side of this
plateau and should be pointed out IN
passing.
(5S) ART SPRING
is Of recent origin and is remarkable
for the curious and artistic figures
that grow into wierd forms upon its
surface; hearts, hands, heads islands
appear and disappear. to be succeeded
by others in infinite variety. The
deposits from this spring is building
up beautiful terrace that will soon
fill the place of
(59) CLEOPATRAS BOWL,
now dead but still beautiful.
(60) CUpID's CAVE
beneath the Bowl, was once the lovers
retreat, where the blind god might be
expected to send his winged shaft
through the heart to awaken that
sweetest pain that can only be cured
py the sympathy of another wounded
heart. The drying up of the Bowl
has robbed the Cave Of all its marve-
lous coloring that induced so many to
enter its vapory precincts.
(6l) ARTHUR's SEAT
is where the President sat down to
rest after climbing the terraces. 1t
commands splendid view Of the
Mammoth Springs, of which
(62) PERIODICAL, LAKE
is the most remarkable on account of
it's wonderful, winding levees that
project outward from the lake like the
tentacles of cutie, OF the rays of
star fish. The overflow is always
shifting, daming the water at one
point after another, but maintaining
a perfect level as if planned and exe-
cuted by skillful architect.
(63) ABYsMAL LAKE
is of unknown depth, its boiling t0r-
rent builds of the
(64) ORIENTAL TERRACES
where most the fine coating is now
done.
(65) THE CALDRoN LAKE
discharges its waters into the shallow.
er basin of
(G6) CRIMSON LAKE,
from which it flows down the old
(67) COATING TERRACES
to the north. After parting with all its
crystals held in solution, the water
sinks into the dry magnesia and finds
it's way into the Boiling River.
(es) THE PULPIT TERRACES
though dead, are still marvels
of beauty. The rim of the basins are
gracefully curved and scalloped, the
walls are futed like the reeds of an
organ. No priest, bishop or pope ever
preached from a throne or pulpit half
so beautiful as these. Their deathlike
marble whiteuess and silent grandeur
touches the heart of those who have
loved and lost a beautiful child. a de.
voted friend or an adored companion.
l have seen the hand pressed against
the heart and dew upon the cheek of
such an one, when standing in the
presence of these superb creations, con.
ciOus that all that lives, has lived. or
will live must die. Silence and tear
is the most eloquent tribute that
lover of man or nature can give to
whatever is beautiful even in death.
Leaving the pulpit you pass below
(60) JUPITER TERRACE
the front of which is dead and crumb-
ling away. It is still alive on the
east and west sides. There are several
large boiling springs on the summit,
but not enough to keep alive the i'm.
mense masses of carbonates that com.
pose it's semielrculer walls. West.
ward and lower down is
coy MINERVA TERRACE
the most beautiful of all the living
terraces. Haynes has made some fine
pictures of the east and west sides of
Minerva, but the marvellous coloring is
beyond the power of human art to re-
produce. 1t holds the first place
among the living as the pulpits do
among the dead terraces.
(71) THE DIANA TERRACES
are fed by powerful spring and one
of the basins is finely carved and nut~
ed. Some day it may be the rival Of
Minerva if its fountain increases in
volume and comes richly laden with
the oxides, with which to paint and
adOrn the walls. out of the Subterra-
mean abysSes.

have been crumbling away but are now
