ORIGIN OF COLORS
IN YELLOWSTONE PARK

That the harmonious and
brilliant tints in the geysers and
hot springs pools are due mainly to
plant life is one of the interesting
statments made in a publication
entitled 1.-The Geological History
OF Yellowstone National Park"
Just issued by the Department of
the Interior. Algae flourish
equally we'll IN the waters of all
geyser basins and on the terraces
OF Mammoth Hot Springs. Wher-
ever these boiling walters cool to the
temperature of 1875 degrees algous
gro"tts appear, and by the lower
ing of the temperature on exposure
to az still more highly organized
forms gradually come in. 1t is
said that at about 10 degrees the
conditions are favorable for the
rapid growth of several species.
The development of plant life at
such excessive temperatures and
on scale of such magnitude seems
a marvellous thing. Nowhere else
can this be seen as well as in the
Yellowstone Park.
AS the water in shallow pools
chills rapidly, corresponding
changes in color follow. No life
exists in the center where the
water is boiling. On the outer
edge certain "olors prevail and in
the cooler overflow channels still
other colors predominant. In a
geyser basin the first evidence of
vegetation in an overlooking
stream consists of creamy white
Elementary threads passing into
light flesh tints and then to deep
salmon. With distance from the
source of heat, the prcdominating
colois pass from bright orange to
yellow, yellowish green, and
emerald. and in the still cooler
water various shades of brown.
The marvellous colors in the
Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone
are mainly due to mineral matter,
the pigments being derived from
the lavas. Among the base of the
canyon thermal and solfataric
agencies have been at work
through long ages, slowly but
steadily decomposing the rhyolite
rock that forms the, walls. Upon
the buttressed walls and sculptured
amphitheaters tints of green and
yellow are ihtermiDgled with red,
the colurs being blended with
singularly harmonious effects.
From the roaring iurbu lent
river at the bottom to the somber
green forests at the top, the abrupt
walls seems aglow with color.
This publication contains an
account of the geologic forces that
have caused the wonderful natural
features that have made the
Yellowstone famous throughout
the world. 1t is illustrated by
photographs of some Of the prime,
ipal features of the park and is
written in nontechnical language
so that it may be readily under.

Washburn, N. D.. Dec. II &C. W
fancey. 20, is in a critical condition
from injuries sustained this morning
in a premature explosion of dynamite
in the Black Diamond Ignite mine,
where he was employed.
That no one else was injured in the
explosion is regarded as a miracle,
as there was large quantity of dyna-
mite stored a short distance from the
scene of the explosion which might
readily have blown up also.
Yancey was Flown into the air. He
sustained severe internal injuries, and
his face and body were badly LAGER.
ated. The doctors believe however,
that he has a fighting chance for re-
covery.
Fortunately no one was with the in
jured man in the mine when the ex.
plosion occurred which accounts for
| the fact that the list of casualties is
no larger.
The reports so far received throw
no light on the question as to what
caused the premature explosion. The
owners of the mine are investigating
the case, in an effort to fix the re
sponsibility if any exists.
The owners naturally deplore t"'
accident but say that It is little short
of a miracle that the large quantity
Of dynamite stored near ty was not
set off by the conclusion.
Had such been the case, one of the
worst mine accidents in the history
of the country would probably have
occurred.
Yancey was 20 years old, and was
unmarried. He had been a resident
of this section of the country for onl,
a short time during which he hat
been employed at the mine.
The conclusion Of the explosion
was distinctly felt in the town o
Washburn which Is situated a few
miles west of the mine. No damage
was done In the town, however.

Washington, Sept. 6.-The great
shadow that has hung for almost five
years over John Ruskin Early a leper,
has become an inpenetrable cloud. A
touch of tragedy is given to the heart
crushing sorrow that has been this
mans for half decade by the fling of
a suit for divorce. Mrs. Early, whose
devotion to her leper husband has been
the cause of national comment, seeks
freedom from the man who is dead to
the world"
Early's case caused medical societies
to divide into factions as to whether
he was leper and resulted in friction
between national, state and municipal
boards of health. He is now at the
Diamond Head Quarantine Station on
Puget Sound.
The leper was placed there after a
trauscontinental fight which ended at
Tacoma. There the frightened peopls
begged that something be done. 1t was
decided definitely and officially last
March that he was leprous and that
his disease had reached the contagious
stage.

quarantine station. Shock of the reali-
zation that all of her hopes, raised by
medical men, had been dashed to the
ground caused Mrs. Early to become

The news that she had brought an
action for divorce was received in this

that Early, who, when he fed across
the continent, knew beyond the ques-
ton of a doubt that he was afflicted
with the dread disease from which
there is no relief but death, concealed
the truth from her. It was this shock
that forced her to go to the Hospital.
Since Early was placed in confine-
ment his disease has reached a stage
which makes his living in seclusion
necessary.
While Mrs. Early has, been in the
hospital, her three children also have
