miles is
THE MOST WONDERFUL GEYsER EXHIBIT
in the world. There are here more great gey-
sers, that is, geysers spouting over
100 feet in height than are elsewhere collected
The heat which displays itself is that of the
earths center, increased by that which is pro-
duced by mechanical action in the rocks of tho
reg on and that which belongs especially to tho
volcanic rocks IN which the springs are located.
The geysers are pronounced by the scientists
TO De volcanoes in the last stage OF develop
mens-water volcanoes SO to speak. The evil
dences OF the close connection between volca-
noes ana geysers are overwhelming. The
former usually grow into the latter. but the
verse process has taken place and it Is recorded
that not many years ago the great geyser OF
Iceland for a considerable period erupted hot
smoke and ashes instead OF water. The volcano
which spouts lava is so dangerous to life while
In eruption that its wonders are comparatively
inaccessible. The water volcano, though dis
playing terrible power, can be safely studied
Whlle In action.
For a mile along the Frehole river and on
both sides of it rise n succession Of mounds of
geyserlte, dotted with boiling springs and the
craters OF geysers, all steaming vigorously,
and the latter at intervals eruptng. Each
one OF the twenty-six notable upper
basin geysers has peculiar and dis

retiring geyser is not permitted to spout I'M
seen and unsnapped. But the principal beauty
of the park, the coloring Of geyserite and lime
stone, cannot be photographed, the binding
glare OF the sun reflected from the deposit
plays havoc with view taking, and the great
geysers wet the kodak with steam and laugh to
scorn the attempt to reproduce their majestic
but vague and constantly changing outlines.
But what cares the kodakist? Everywhere he
goes merrily swapping. too often careless and
unappreciative Of the wonders and beauties of
the park except as they furnish targets for his
shooting. When others are feasting their eyes
on the grand and attractive he PUSHES about in

and his thoughts instead OF being moved with
wonder and admiration run evermore In this
groove: Remove cap, snap. pull string, turn
key, snap, pull string, turn key. snap, pull
string, turn key Send so on to intnity.
The guide book is not more misleading in its
confident assurances concerning the intervals
and duration and height of eruption of the
greater number of the geysers than it is in its
information concerning those which are active.

There is the Bee Hive, for instance, which is
described as one Of the most beautiful in the
upper basin, and is, of course, one of the first
objects OF search for the eager tourist Many
doses of soap thrown into its crater to bring on
q quick eruption have, after performing their
purpose of temporarily stimulation, disabled
the geyser permanently to all appearances. For
o long time it has not played at all. resisting
all the Establishments OF soap, and it is now Of
no use to anybody unless a shaft can be sunk
into it in order that it may be worked as a soap
mine. There are geysers in the basin which
are in the habit of putting ON all the symptoms
Of an intention to erupt, and then of subsiding
to the disappointment and indignation Of the
expeetant spectator. The tourist is hereby
warned especially against the (so-called) Splen-
did geyser, around which we stood for an hour,
nomentarily expecting an eruption. The

afternoon we're fairly dragged from the spot BY
