Like a Lake of Flame.

One of the most remarkable of the
hot springs in the Yellowstone Ma
tional park is Firehole lake, in which
flames seem to appear in the water
These flames are seen from only two
points, and should the wind be causing
a disturbance of the water the tourist
may not see them at all. At the east
ern end of this small lake is a circular
opening of a deep seated spring not
unlike other vents of thermal waters.
Through this vent, which usually
stands full of clear, transparent water,
numerous bubbles of mingled air and
superheated steam rise gradually. Be-
fore reaching the surface they unite to
form one large mass that in its upward
passage strikingly resembles a flame
of fire. This continues until the bub-
BILE bursts, only to be followed by a
repetition of the phenomenon. The
explanation is that the slightly agi-
tated water is reflected in the thin
film of the ascending volume of gas.
The phenomena are far better seen at
Firehole lake than elsewhere, but I'M
der favorable conditions they may be
seen at other localities, but in a far
less striking manner.
