"NATURE WORKS
‘ GREAT CHANGE
PARK WONDERS
YELLOWSTONE PARK, Wyo.,
July 30).—Interesting changes have
developed this year in the natural
wonders of Yellowstone national park.
Led by Old Faithful geyser, which has
shortened the interval of its perform
ances by almost a quarter of an hour,
and is now playing every 64 minutes,
the geysers and hot springs are on
their best behavior, promising a sea
son of unsurpassed beauty, as if
mindful that the number of visitors
is expected to exceed 100,0000 for the
first time in the history of the park.
Unusual depth of snow during the
winter, followed by a rainy spring, is
believed responsible for the bril
liance of the natural phenomena.
Abundant moisture has been stored in
the underground passages feeding
■Jbe geysers and springs to enable
them to excel all their previous ex
hibitions.
The Grand has become the park’s
most powerful geyser. It is playing
once or twice each day for 10 to 30
minutes, affording a magnificent spec
«•
tacle of a fountain of steaming water
200 feet in height, which is succeeded
by five to twrelve distinct eruptions.
j£»iant and Giantess have been giv
ing fine exhibitions. Constant has
discontinued operation, its activity
apparently transferred to the Whirl
igig directly across the footpath.
Mud Broiler has changed its tactics
and is discharging water that is al
most clear. Scores of smaller gey
^ sers are constantly in action and of
course Old Faithful, which attains a
height of 125 to 170 feet, is observed
hourly by persons from all parts of
the world as in former years.
At Mammoth Hot Springs, the head
quarters of the park administration,
the terraces are a marvel of gorgeous
coloring where the hot water ripples
over the unique formations. With the
single exception of Minerva Terrace,
which is less splendid than in past
years, all of the terraces are per
forming in great volume. Cleopatra
apparently is trying to make up for
Minerva’s deficiency by starting a
new channel where the coloring
changes daily.
Jupiter, for many years the finest
of all the terraces, has lost his lead
ership, being surpassed by the pro
saically named Pulpit Terrace, which
is^ sending more water than ever from
its sapphire pool over a series of
beautifully curved basins, fretted and
colored like some old gothic carving,
until more than 200 feet below a con
duit is reached which takes the warm
waters from all the springs into the
open air bathing pool.
Hymen Terrace is ^attracting great
attention because of the abundance
and exquisite shape of the algae, or
microscopic plants, wrhich give the
terraces their color. Nowhere else in
the park are to be found such grace
j* n f_j • £1 1* • i.T ...» 4-^%,

like ostrich plumes of delicate green.
Angel Terrace has developed a rich
pirfk coloring, much like a birthday
^cake, a resemblance enhanced by
the trees which the growing terrace
reached out and killed, and which
now stick out through the crust
like white candles.
Occassionally a deer can be seen
and photographed nibbling the salty
encrustations from the trees.
Orange Spring Terrace, which has
grown to a great mound 15 feet high,
has a tiny assistant, an “offspring”
to quote the pun of a visitor, which
bubbles merrily at the original level
of the parent spring, affording a com
prehensive view of how the terraces
have been built.
Mineral springs in the park, includ
ing the appollinaries and iron springs
and the hot soda springs, are produc
ing in great quantities.

DEATH TAKES PRINCE
" HEINRICH OF GERMANY
BERLIN, July 30 (by Associated
Press).—The death of Prince Hein
rich zu Schoenaich-Carolath, known in
former court circles as “the red
prince” because of his democratic
proclivities has just occurred.
Deceased earned his appellation by
the determined stand Ins made against
all reactionary legislation, especially
the anti-socialist law of the ’eighties,
for which he was threatened with
disciplinary military punishment.
First a member of the conservative
party, the prince nevertheless, often
gave his vote to progressive and
socialistic parties and he joined the
newly formed Democratic League
soon after the revolution of 1918. The
prince was also well known for his
^ philanthropic and charitable works.
MOVIES HAVING GREAT -
PATRONAGE IN ROME
ROME, July 30 (by Associated
Press).—Rome’s enthusiasm for mov
ing pictures is enormous. Milan,
which is a much more densely popu
lated city, patronizes the “movies”
much less than Rome. The great in
crease in Rome dates from the second
half of 1919, when the “sharks,” as
they call the war profiteers here, first
came to the front. A newspaper writer
lately accused them of going to the
picture theaters with their wives and
families in order to learn how people
in what they imagine to be smart soci
ety dress and move and act.
TOURIST TRAVEL IN
JAPAN DECREASING
TOKIO, July 30 (by Associated
Press).—Foreign visitors to Japan are
decreasing in numbers, the Japan tour
ist bureau has announced. Officials
say most of the foreign residents of
China, the South seas and other parts
of the Orient, who formerly toured
Japan in the summers, are going to
their home lands this year. Feeling
aggravated by the Shantung question
has caused a marked decrease in the
number of Chinese visitors, :t is
thought.
“MOONSHINE” FLOWS
FREELY IN HAWAIIANS
HONOLULU, July 30 (by Associated
Press).—The chamber of commerce on
the Island of Kauai, T. H„ recently
voted unanimously to ask federal offi
cials to station a prohibition enforce
ment agent permanently on Kauai to
stem the wave of illicit drunkenness,
which was described as “notorious.”
Colonel E. H. W. Broadbent, manager
of Grove farm, told the Kauai cham
ber that “moonshine” everywhere on
the island was handled openly.
Women, Colonel Broadbent charged,
made most of the “moonshine” while
their husbands atnd sons were at work.
GLEE CLUB BOYS ON

SHANGHAI, July 30 (by Associated
Press).—Plans for entertaining the
University of California Glee Club are
being made by the American Univer
sity Club here. The California boys
will appear in Japanese, Chinese and

PRINCE WILL GO ON
NGAROO HUNT
MELBOURNE, Australia, July 30
(by Associated Press).—A kangaroo
hunt by automobile is one of the en
tertainments planned for the Prince of
Wales when he visits the country dis
tricts of Australia. The hunt will take
place upon the sheep station (ranch)
of Lee Falkiner at Boora, New South
Wales. Mr. Falkiner says the kan
garoo drive in which the prince will
take part will be “neither child’s play
nor cold blooded murder, but as fine
a sport as is to be had in the common
wealth.”
NEW MINERAL FOUND
IN NEVADA HILLS
TONOPAH, Nev., July 30 (by Asso
ciated Press).—A new mineral sub
stance resembling asbestos has been
found in an eight-foot vein near Coal
dale, Nev., and officials of the federal
bureau of mines have indicated their
intention of seeding experts to study
the mineral.
Experiments have proved the new
substance is excellent for insulation
and is also a good polisher for dia
monds, rubies and other precious
stones. It will also serve as soap,
being so gritty it will cut grease. It
is also said to be fireproof. Although
resembling asbestos, it is said to be
too light for asbestos.
