of these larger springs would overflow

passed through a siphon to bath-house
nearby, where the visitors may take a
bath in delightful warm water. The wa

for its medicinal properties. its only ad-
vantage over other water in this partic-
ular being that ii has sustained heat.
Around the borders of these springs the
water has deposited a peculiar rock for
nation known as travertine, which Is a
form of calcium carbonate. This rock
is used for fences and in some instances
for building purposes. 1t is an excellent
substance from which to make lime and
plastering, but is too pourous to be of
great value as building stone. 1t has one
good advantage in the fact that ii is a
non-conductor of heat and cold and for
that reason is an excellent material to

Natural phenomena seldom choose To-

izatlon for their appearance. The reverse
is almost invariably the case. II is only
IN out-of-the-way places that peculiar ge-
illogical conditions exist that afford a
glimpse of the earth as II probably was
in the forming. Cities are seldom built
near craters of volcanoes. not so much
because or the danger attendant upon a
volcanic eruption, but because of the fact
that there are but few natural resources
TO be found where the earths crust is so
uncertain.
Perhaps for this reason the Hot Pots OF
Heber City are in locality that, COM
paratively speaking, is unsettled. As a
phenomenon of nature there is nothing
to be found in the world more peculiar
and of more interest to the student and
TO the curious than these rounded. natur-

Each year hundreds of thousands of peo-
pie visit the Yellowstone national park.
Thousands OF these are from Utah, and IL
is safe to say that the majority of them
have overlooked a visit to the Heber
Hot Pots that would take them but a
few hours. The Hot Pots are some of the
many natural clriosities of Utah of which
the world at large knows practically moth

The substance is similar to the stone
found along the Tiber river. which was
called by the Romans tbertine. II is of
this tibertine that st. Peters cathedral
was built. The tibertine, however. is
much more compact than the travertine,
being formed of calcium carbonate pre-
cipitated under different conditions from
the travertine found at the hot pots.
Calculate Their Age.
There has been but little study given
to the hot pots of Heber by the biologists
one OF the few scientists who have made
anything of a study of this region being
DIR. James E. Talmage of Salt Lake. In
the opinion of this geologist the hot pots
originated in the secondary volcanic pc
riod, which belongs to recent times, COM
paratively speaking. which means that
though they are probably thousands and
thousands OF years old, they are not as
many hundreds of thousands of years old
as the great mountains of the Wasatch
nearby.
From the study DR.. Talmage has made
origin from a slipping or fault of a great
series OF strata in the Wasatch. which d.
verted the underground channel OF some
stream, causing the water to come under
=
ton becoming ready solvent for an I'M
usually great amount OF carbon dioxide.
Passing on. the water came in contact
with heated rocks and dissolved a great
deal of calcium. The boiling water sought
an outlet and in several places broke
through the earth. On cooling. immense
quantities OF calcium carbonate were de-
posted on the sides of the fissure and in
many instances enough to choke entirely
the flow of the water into the basins thus
formed.
Different From Others.
There are no other springs in the world
that have thus far been discovered which
are of exactly the same character as the
hot pots. The soda springs in Idaho are
of much the same character. except that
the hot pots were formed through pres
sure and heat and the others without
heat. The mammoth hot springs of the
Yellowstone are formed in a manner very
similar to that of the hot pots. the diff
ference being in the terraces formed. The
mammoth hot springs are believed tC
have the most beautiful terraces thus
formed in the world. The calcium chic
ride is not tainted with silica. as in the
case of the hot pots but is almost pure
white, except where it is tinted brown
orange, yellow and other colors by pass
ing through rocks containing iron ore
Twenty-Five years ago the most beautiful
and the largest terraces thus formed
were at the hot springs of Rotomahana
in New Zealand These terraces were de-
stroyed by an earthquake a quarter of g
century ago.
