Geysers
BY GEORGE FITCH,
Author of 'EAt Good Old Siwash.7

a GEYSER is an intermittent hot
~ water fountain run by nature.
Nature does this lust to show
man how insignificant he is Man tolls
and struggles and spends his money
and in the end gets a quart of hot water
out of a faucet in half an hour. Nature
produces an extensive and deep-seated
hole in the ground, connects it with
the internal regions and once an hour
shoots enough boiling water into the
air to launder all the clothes in the ma
ton.
GevseTs are not very numerous and
all those IN this country are confined
in the Yellowstone park, the greatest
natural menagerie in the world, and the
only section OF the country which is
permanently fitted with hot and cold
water. There are many geysers IN the
Yellowstone park and they are greatly
admired by those tourists VINO are eau
tious enough to keep out of range when
they geyse. One of the greatest diver
sions IN America is to travel to Yellow
stone park and sit around a prehistoric
hole waiting for it to emit few billions
of gallons of superheated moisture. Most
geyseTs are as temperamental as opera
