Earthquake Disrupts
Yellowstone Geysers

The earthquake that shooH
Yellowstone National Park lr
August thoroughly disrupted
the underground plumbing sys-
tenn of its steaming geyser
basins.

geyser that bubbled up no
higher than 6 or 7 feet, now
dramatically spurts $50 feet
into the air. About 100 hot
springs erunted for the first
time after the tremor: some
have continued to spout peri
od'cally.
Old Faithful is performing

Earthquakes. may open new
escape vents or breach sub
terranean chambers.
How They Work
An underground vertical tube
and chambers filled by seepage
from rain and melted snow are
the basic requirements for a
geyser. Volcanic gases heat the
water. 1t flashes into steam
on reaching a critical pressure
and temperature, and the mass
OF steam and hot water roars
up through the rock tube in
an eruption.
Contrary to popular belief,
no geyser appears at a pre-
cisely predictable time. Old
Faithful did not earn its name
by virtue of prolonged regu-
larity, but was named two DAYS
after its discovery. Recorded
intervals between Old Faith
ful's eruptions range from 80
to 81 minutes. Several geysers
in Yellowstone are more faith
full than Old Faithful.
GeySers are among natures
rarest phenomena. They have
developed in significant num-
bers only in Yellowstone, Ice
land and New Zealand. The
biggest and largest geysers are
in Yellowstone.
The National Park has more
than 200 geysers that whirl,
whistle. churn and spray. Birds
and bears make their homes
near some Yellowstone geysers

speaking to each other. He
called me Stupid" and
"Bird-brain"s 6 and "Knuckle-
head"
When I drive slowly he tells
me to hurry up" When I 60
fast he tells me to SLOW
down" He makes me nervous
and my hands sweat and the
wheel slips. When apply the
brakes too suddenly and the
car jerks. he really snaps my
head of. Otherwise he is a
wonderful husba n d. How
come when we get in the car
for a driving lesson his whole
personality changes? Are all
husbands like mine or did I
get a lemon?

Letter to the Editor Kodiak Mirror, Kodiak, Alaska To the Editor;

The first Alaska State Elk'S As sociation Convention held in KO- diak from Sept. 30 to October 3, 1859 has been a memorable one and 1t is our sincere regret that they have to leave us.
 Faithful Elks, each and every one of them; devoted to the best interests of their Country and their fellow citizens; in the past as we'll as the future they stand ready to help the needy, give courage to the unfortunate and in every way pos sible make Alaska and the Nation a better place to live.
 They are devoted to their Cere- bral Palsy program of helping url- fortunate children in their battle against crippling muscle defects So these children might take thelr rightful place in a world that is not always kind
 Also their program for disabled veterans is another gesture of an Elk's dedication to Brotherly Love, Faith, Hope and Charity.
 It has been a privilege and an honor to have had a small part in the Conventions activities and may these loyal, devoted Ameri- cans favor us once again with their presence in the not too dis tant future.
 Sincerely,
