Our heart tlsttt@red aud the air was stiff
ling. 70 we tore ourselves away from
cupids headquarters 10 see how green We
looked in the Emerald spring.' .'Cleopa-
ira" next alIured US by her beauty. This
is one Of tae principal springs. The
guidebook quotes DR.. Peale, in regard to
it as foliovs:-'.Tne spring has light-biae
tinted water in a. white basin,. with light
yclioUish red edges. a large fiat basin
surrounds the spring. The greatest over
flow escapes at the west end, and the basins
here are fringed with stalactitic masses.
The basin at the edge ofwhich these stalac-
tites are most prominent is eight feet high.
Below it the water flows over an incline,
at the base Of which are handsome white,
red and yellow basins.
The whole front Of the mass is lined with
these basins, and on the west side, where
the overflow was in 1871, they are snowy
white. The amount of water is very
small in comparison with the deposit The
spring has a temperature Of 154 at the
edge" As the water escapes, it flows over
ladder Which has been placed there
against the edge, for the purpose Of coat
ing articles that are hung upon it. In the
hope of acquiring wisdom to comprehend
all these wonders we repaired to MIN
erva's Terrace. but alas even this re-
puted Goddess of untold wisdom failed to
disclose any secrets. Baified, but de-
lighted, we went to the hotel for dinner,
where I achieved notoreity by being let
down with a crash, upon the floor by Il
stupid waiter, who pulled my chair away
just as was about to seat myself with that
marked dignity which characterizes all
great and good representatives Of the press.
I was too angry to laugh and too old to
cry, so I just blushed and the other 299
people in the large diningroom smiled
audibly.
