HOT POTS OF HEBER.
The Curious Natural Formations

OF ever increasing interest to natu-
raj curiosity seekers are the hot pots,
about three miles from Heber City.
Utah. on a branch line Of the Denver
and Rio Grande railroad, running up
through picturesque Provo canyon.
This region is a level plain upon the
surface of which arise in strange con-
fusion numbers of conical shaped cis-
terms, the largest Of them being all Of
fifty feet high, Il hundred feet III diam
eter at the top and twice that at the
base and containing In their dark
depths immense volumes Of water
heated to a high temperature in the
furnaces of the earth. The waters con
tain the usual chemical properties Of
thermal springs and are used for bath

Ing and drinking with excellent effects
These pots have evidently been form
ed by the slow deposition through
countless centuries of the silica and
soda which enter into the composition
of the waters that once welled over
the rim. The hot pots are found in the
midst of cultivated fields and thriving
orchards Notwithstanding the peculiar
rocklike soil composition.
One of the marked peculiarities of
the region is the hollow, rumbling
sound caused by carriages and horses
as they move over the roadways for
miles around. rs there an enormous

BEAU FIELDING.
He Was the Enigma of English Social
Life In His Day.

To was tUc enigma OF Gn9ISn 0oCidi
Life In His Day.
Beau Fielding was a young man OF
fashion in the reign Of William III His
house was sumptuously furnished, his
hunters, hacks and racers were OF
great value, and "he kept a table OF
princely hospitality" He had no os-
tensible source of income. All that was
known Of him was that he was the
fifth son of Thomas Wilson, an impov-
erished gentleman of Worcestershire.
Evelyn describes him III very young
man, "civil and good natured, but OF
no great force Of character" and every
sober and Of good fame All attempts
to discover his secret were vain. I'm
his most careless hours of amusement
he kept strict guard over his tongue
and left scandal to conjecture what 1t
pleased"
He redeemed his fathers estate and
portioned off his sisters and when re-
monstrated with on his extravaganza
replied that. however long his life
should last, ne would always have
enough to live in the same way. Some
said it was he who had robbed the
Holland mail, for which another man
had suffered; others that he depended
upon the gambling table, though he
never played for large sums. He was
the enigma of social life till his career
was cut short by Il duel. His adversary
was at that time a young man about
town like himself, John Law, who
afterward became the founder of the
famous Mississippi scheme by which
half of France was ruined. When the
mysterious Beau died he left only 4
few pounds behind him and not n
scrap of evidence to enlighten public
curiosity.
