Masses Of Purest White In Place Of
Brilliant Hued Rocks.
The incompatible wonder of the
Grand Canyon Of the Yellowstone. that
huge cash in the earth whose walls
glow with every tint of jewels and
flowers, IL a mass OF purest white save
where here and there the winds have
swept away the snow and left the bril-
liant hued rocks exposed. Their reds
and yellows and puppies and crimsons
glow the brighter in contrast with the
surrounding Wilderness. The black TO-
liage of the pines stands out sharply.
Where the water slides over the preci-
ptce and forms the Great Falls of the
Yellowstone it roars down as white as
carded wool. Down at the bottom of
the gorge, where the waters are swift
and deep. they are black. There are
immense icicles 200 feet long. An ice
bridge a hundred feet high is formed
at the base Of the falls.
The great geysers play endlessly,
each at its appointed period, although
no one Is there to see them. Every
seventy minutes Old Faithful sends its
/ column Of water and steam 300, 500,
sometimes 1000 feet into the air and
holds it there for three minutes. Some
times the winds unfold from its top an
iridescent banner of spray; at other
times the fountain form is a perfect
cone. In winter It's boiling hot water
