Wherever these boiling waters cool to the temp- ture of 185 degrees algous growths appear, and by the lowering of the temperature osure to afr still more highly organized forms gradually come in. It is said that of about 140 degrees the conditions are favorable for the rapld growth of several specis The development of plant life at such excessive temperatures and on a scale of such magnitude seems a marvelous thing. Nowhere else can this be seen so well as in the Yellowstone Park. As the water in shallow pools chills{ rapldly, coresponding changes in cold follow. No life exists in the center, where the water is boiling. On tae outer edge certain colors prevail in the cooler overflow channels is other colors predominate. In a geyser basin, the first evidence of vegetation in an overflow stream consists of creamy white filamentary threads passing into light flesh tints and then to deep salmon. With distance from the source of heat, the predominat- | | ing colors pass from bright orange to vellow, yellowish green, and emerald, and in the still cooler waters various shades of I The ma colors in the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone are mainly ( due to mineral matter, the pigments | being derived from the lavas.

Then friends crowded argund Mr. Clark. “What dbes ‘alle undee’ mean?” de- manded Representative Victor Mur- dock. “I know some Latin, but I never heard of that before.” “Yes, it's Latin,” announced Mr. Clark. ‘““It means ‘outside of the rec- ord” 1 learned in a roundabout way that President Taft is going to leave the city this afternoon, and that he was Waiting to sign that bill. If he does not four or five hundred aged soldiers might die before he is back.” “It means ‘grapevine, in Ozark lan- guage,” someone suggested. “Exactly,” said the Speaker.
