! bowels of the earth through 90 feet of Sem
cca limestone rock, rusnes up through 10
| feet OF gravel and flies ID feet into the air.
! Every morning you will see hundreds OF
| bellies and beauX sitting in the beautiful
| pavilion, flirting, drinking and laughing
| as they watch the silver spray of the
! health-giving water.
The water from the new Geyser is the
same as from the old Hathorn spring, and
enough of it flows from the two springs to
| keep the whole world in mineral water.
A Frenchman, the Marquis de Mores,
! from the states" dropped in with
crowd OF fashionable young ladies from
| Chicago yesterday to look at the Geyser.
AS the clear, crystal stream Of mineral
| water burst into the air, he dropped his
umbrella on the arm of a young lady,
and, raising both hands in the air, ex-

"En! dis is re grand spectakle Su-
