There are more geysers thnn In all the rest of the world put together. They range from tiny openings, spout ing water but a few feet, at Intervals of s few minutes, to the great giant, larger than a well, projecting a column of water 2TiO to X feet high, for a period of several minutes st Interval of several days. There are numerous waterfalls, the great fall of the Yellow atone river In the gorgeously colored. 20-mlle-long Grand canyon, being 80S feet high. There are many hot spring and small lakes, also the largest lake Yellowstone at Ita height In North America.

ALMOST In the center of Wyoming, near a bend in the Big Horn river and 4t.ri0 feet above sea level, nature brought to the surface, for the bene fit of all humanity, her most notable work In the hot-spring line. Here, from a rough-edged opening approximately 2T feet In diameter, and which may come through from China for all any body knows since It has been sound ed to a depth of 1,000 feet and no bot tom found, there bubbles forth about 1S.000.000 gallons of lXVdegree hot water, possessing untold medicinal value, every 24 hours. This health fount was discovered by a wandering band of Indians. When the white mnn came he named It "Big Horn Hot Spring." because the water was finally tumbled over a 40-foot cliff In a beautiful waterfall to the river below. A city was built h.v the river. They called it Thermopolla (Hot City), because of Its nearnenn to the spring. The government purchased the tract on which the spring I located In 1S87. Washakie, chief of the Shoshone, agreed only on condition that a por tion of the water he reserved forever free for public use. Later, when the government ceded the land to the state, the same clause was Inserted In the patent. Thus this great niiture-made anti-toxin for many ills which beset humanity hu been preserved for the use of everybody for all time.

Snow-waters from high mountains have fount a wonderful variety and beauty of courses down the mountain walla to the Merced river In the valley below.
