SOAPING A GEYSER.
A EIumberlng Fountain Set to Work by
an Application of Soap.
yellowstone Park Lette


yellowstone Park Letter
Learned of a curious circumstance while
at the Upper Geyser Basin which is not
generally known to the public and which
is unquestionably true. Many Of the gey-
sers are inactive, others merely bubble
and steam without erupting, while others
again spout with clock-like regularity 1
held the watch on Old Faithful again and
again, but this beautiful geyser, true to its
name, sent up magnificent stream, near
ly two hundred feet high, every fifty-five
minutes. Not once was there failure or
the slightest variation in the time. / saw
it in the moonlight, and no spectacle on
earth can compare with this sublime spec
tacle.
The Castle Geyser also treated me to n
rare exhibition, but was informed by the
proprietor Of the hotel that the "Splen-
did, one of the finest geysers in the basin,
and which once had a record almost as
good as Old Faithful, had completely
failed, and had lain dormant for nearly six
months. l strolled over to the Splendid
and saw man busily at work dropping
bars of soap into the crater.
'.What in the world are you doing that
for!' | inquired, totally unable 10 restrain
my curiosity.
sJust wait and see,'i replied the stranger.
He kept steadily at work, dropping bar
after bar down the yellow coated throat,
until the monster began to rumble and
sputter, and finally behaved in q very
boisterous manner. Eleven, twelve, thir-
teen, and, as the fourteenth bar was sWal-
lowed up, away went the Splendid one
hundred and fifty feet into the air, as mag
nlticent and as grand as had ever seen him.
''There!" exclaimed the experimental
stranger: Il reckon i have made as big a
discovery as either of those scientific
cusses, Virgins or Proctor, ever did in
their lives"
1t was an odd way of setting geysers to
work and no doubt strictly original with
the gentleman whom l saw trying it.
He set the Fan going and started the Lion,
Lioness, and Cubs to growing. The Bee
Hive, once the most beautiful of them all,
is rapidly sinking into decay. The hand
some cone still remains, but the gcyser is
10 longer active. He dropped half box
Of soap down the chimney of the Bee
Hive, which certainly started it rumbling
and grumbling, and actually brought the
scalding water halfway up the cone but
it came no further, and gradually sunk
away back into the depths OF the earth
from which it had been unwiilingly forced.

With temper and sorrow the world is rife;
But no strength comeIh without the strife;
Look up, my boy, look upl

And have the courage, as in Gods sight,
To do what your hands find with your might;
Look up, my boy, look up!

WE would be pleased to know of man
or woman who has never had headache or
been subject to constipation. As these
seem to be universal troubles little advice
may be in order. Why should persons
cram their stomachs with nauseating pur-
gative pills, etc, which sicken and debili-
tate when such pleasant and sterling
remedy as Prickly Ash Bitters will act
mildly and effectively on the liver, kidney,
stomach and bowels, and at the same time
tone up and strengthen the whole system,
causing headache, constipation and all
such distressing evils to quickly disappear.

TAKING AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS.

instantaneous Pictures Perfect In All De-
Acknowledgements Reproductions.
NJ. CASTOR Tissandier Ia a recent number
of La Nature, describes the effects made by
himself and his brother to pursue the subject
of aerial photography. For this purpose they
sought the assistance OF NJ. Paul Nadar,
whose father made the first attempts twenty
eight years ago to take photographs from bal
looms An ascent was made on July 9 from
Auteuil, the descent taking place after a
voyage of about six hours at Segrie, in La
Sarthe, the length of the journey being about
$50 kilometers The maximum altitude ex-
ceeded 200 meters. During the voyage M.
Nadar succeeded in executing thirty instan-
taneous photographs, a dozen of which are,
NJ. Tissandier says. unquestionably the most
perfect yet obtained from a balloon. These
were taken at various attitudes, ranging from
500 to 200 meters. They were perfect in all
details, but lose by production by hello
gravure. Those taken at ], 200 meters it has
been found impossible to reproduce at all, as
they lose their fneness in the process.
The apparatus was placed in different posi-
tions on tiis,,-, o. &c c;.r, s..:-.ii:llcs being

form with the horizon angle varying from

part of second. NJ. Nadar has enlarged
some of the photographs with the new East
man paper with remarkable success. 1t is
obvious, from the illustrations given in La
Nature, that the photographs have suffered
in the reproduction, the details being slightly
blurred and indistinct, but the streets, princi-
pal houses, gardens, etc, are perfectly clear
in the two pictures which were taken at alti-
tudes of 800 and ], 100 meters respectively

A Bird Which Was Inclined to Boss
Things-A DutifuI Pup.
DIR. Won Bremen, of New York, is very
good wing shot. Recently in anticipation of
a falls shooting, he bought promising pointer
pup, which he began training The doctor
never makes himself present without
Numbering Mrs. Won Bremen. When he
bought the pup for himself he bought a parrot
for his wife. The pup was already trained to
obedience, and the instinct peculiar to his
breed was strong within him. The parrot is
of lively and loquacious disposition, and
was fluent talker when she arrived at the
residence of the Won Bremens. Straightway
upon her arrival she announced that her
name was Loretta, and that the rest of the
house could go-below purgatory. The house
maid was ordered to set her cage on the rear
extension window sill.
In the course of the day the pointer pup
found his way into the room where the cage
stood, and he instantly located the bird.
With noiseless steps he approached within a
few yards Of the cage, and then became rigid
in beautiful pointing attitude. The parrot
watched him intently for moment, and then
sang out loud and clear:
"Ah there!'
The effect on the dog was Paralyxing. He
ceased pointing, dropped to sitting posture,
and gave way to his bewilderment.
"Stay there" came in gruff and command
ing tones from the parrots cage.
The pup had been severely trained, and he
feared to disobey. His head dropped between
his forelegs, and in an attitude of utter dejec-
ton he awaited further commands. The doc
tor had been looking on from the hallway,
and when he entered the room the parrot
was reviling the pup in mixture Of English
and Spanish, and the pup was groveling in
the rug, but afraid to run away.-New York
