beauty in every available space in
this room, filing tall pedestal vases
and bowls which adorned bookcases
and tables.
In the parlor adjoining the gold OF

these long-stemmed beauties filled
crystal vases placed on the piano, the
mantel, and elsewhere about the room
Stationed in one corner was the
punch table. which was effectively
and tastefully decorated with these
same handsome blossoms arranged
with ferns. Here Misses Malcolm
McInnis and Bette Eastland served
delicious fruit punch during the
calling hours.

decoration, however, was seen in the
dining room, which was lovely in pinF
Killarney roses which filled vases OF
sideboard, buffet and cabinets. The
table was overlaid with an exquisite
Cluny cloth and resting in the center
on a reflector was a tall crystal vase

BOILING GEYSERS.
What Causes the Spoutins of These
Natural Steam Engines.

Geysers are found in only three
places in the world. according TO pub
lication entitled "Geysers" issued by
the department of the interior. These
three regions are Iceland. where gey-
sers were first discovered; New Zea-
land and the Yellowstone National
park. in which these natural steam en-
gines are more numerous and of great
er beauty than in the two other areas
mentioned. In the Yellowstone the
geysers are found in detached geyser
basins, or fire holes, as they were
called by the first explorers, and the
groups possess individual peculiarities
which give character and interest to
each locality. The most noted Of these
basins is. however, that known as the
Upper Geyser basin Of the Firehole
river. one of the headwaters Of the
great Missouri. The whole floor of the
valley is fairly riddled with springs of
boiling water. whose exquisite beauty
is indescribable. Light clouds Of
fieecy vapor curl upward from waters
of the purest azure or the clearest en-
erald and. encircling rims of white
marblelike silica, form fit setting for
such great gems. A large part of the
valley floor Is covered with the white
deposit Of silica known as siliceous
sinter. deposited by the overtiowing
hot waters. The weird wilderness

The intermittent spouting of geysers
was long a riddle to scientific men
The theory, which bears the name OF
1 the illustrious chemist Bunsen. is now
generally accepted. This theory Is
based on the well known fact that the
boiling point OF water rises with the
pressure and is therefore higher at the
bottom Of tube of water than at tn,
surface. In a long and narrow or al
irregular tube ebullition in the lowe
part is only possible at a much highe
temperature than at the top owing t.
