draw a long bow was well known. and
the incredible stories he put in circu-
lation discounted his truths, and 30 he
went about the Baron Manehausen Of
the new west.
One Of the stories credited to him
had to do with the celebrated Obsidian
cliff, Of black volcanic glass, familiar to
tourists who have visited the park.
Bridger claimed to have discovered it
on hunting trip. His story was that
one day he was IN the park hunting.
he came up to bull elk OF gigantic
proportions which, apparently, was
grazing only short distance from him.
He took careful aim ct the animal and
fired. To his astonishment, and he was
q dead shot, the elk did not appear to
have been wounded, and paid no at
tention to the report Of the rifle. He
shot again with the same result. -Four
times in all he fired, missed each time.
The elk continued to Craze undisturbed,
and paid not the slightest attention to
Bridger. Dumbfounded, he rushed to-
ward the elk, crashing into 3 wall Of
transparent glass. He walked around
the glass cliff, but the elk had disap-
peared. Then he walked back and the
elk was again grazing within few
feet Of him He repeated the perform
ance with the same result. Several
miles away and just discernible, he saw
his elk. The Obsidian glass, accord
ing TO bis explanation. Was telescope
lens and brought the elk up TO within
q few feet od him.
Bridger also told OF q remarkable
echo, near spot where he frequently
made camp According to his story, it,
took the words thrown against the cliff
lust six hours TO come back after ut
terance. When he was retiring he
would say to the cliff. 'Time 70 get up. !"

The lake was a natural incubator.
Along the shores Of the Yellowstone
lake are several immense springs which
discharge boiling hot water into the
lake. About the place where the hot
water flows into the lake it lies several
feet thick above the cold water, on ac-
count Of the difference in specific grav-
ity between the hot and cold water.
Bridger's story was that he would bait
his fish hook, and with weights on his
line, sink It through the hot and into
the cold water. When he had hooked
the trout he woud pull it into the hot
water Just above and let it remain
there until 1t was cooked.

discovery was discredited, and no one
would believe him. lie went 70 the
newspapers and publications Of the
time with his narrative, but the edi-
tors laughed at him. One western
newspaper, which had ridiculed his
