THE GIANT GEYSER OF THE YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK 



The Giant Geyser, with its tremendous outpouring of water and steam shooting 200 feet 

 into the air and lasting for a full hour, is one of dozens of geysers found in the Yellowstone. 

 They have all been named, and expressively so: the Black Growler, always fretting and 

 fuming, but never doing much else; the Constant, on the job every half minute, with a ten- 

 second eruption; the Minute Man, with a one-minute- eruption and an irregular, short inter- 

 val; the Beehive, shooting up out of a hivelike sinter cone; the Castle, with its fairy house; 

 the Comet, the Daisy, the Economic, the Fan, and the Lion, each filling well the plans and 

 specifications of its name; and Old Faithful, the originator of the "every hour on the hour" 

 schedule.
