GIANT GEYSER : YELLOWSTONE: NATIONAL PARK 



Photo by Haynes 



Of the 84 geysers in Yellowstone National Park, no two are alike in their characteristics. 

 The Constant Geyser sends forth graceful jets of water to a height of 20 feet once a minute. 

 Giant Geyser discharges only once in from five to seven days. Old Faithful, however, is so 

 regular that it might be called the clock of the subterranean world. In the 40-odd years 

 that it has been known to the white man it has never "missed fire" once, the interval being 

 65 minutes. 



A NOBLER DESTINY FORETOLD 



And the lesson it furnishes will not 

 be lost. When California shall have 

 achieved her commercial destinies, it re- 

 quires no prophet to foretell that this 

 "City Beautiful" — far more beautiful 

 than the city of Joaquin Miller's dream — 

 will have a hundred counterparts in 

 bronze and stone. At present, while 

 garnering within its walls California's 

 choicest products, its fruits and wines, 

 grains of her upland farms, gold from 

 her rich canyons, it may be held to repre- 

 sent the California spirit, the free, manly, 

 generous spirit that gives its best without 

 taking thought. 



No one can do justice to the glories of 

 California who forgets that other little 

 land of wonder and region of marvel, the 

 Panama - California Exposition at San 

 Diego. If the Panama-Pacific bewilders, 

 dazzles, and drives to soeechless wonder 



and admiration every one whose great 

 and good fortune it is to look upon it, 

 the Panama-California charms, soothes, 

 and gently delights its visitor. The one 

 is the magnificent sunburst of diamonds, 

 the other a splendid cluster of pearls, 

 each with a beauty, an atmosphere, and 

 a coloring all its own. 



With its transplantation of all that is 

 best in Latin- American architecture ; with 

 its wonderful collection of tropical flora, 

 gathered from every point of the trop- 

 ical compass ; with its Montezuma Gar- 

 den, its Painted Desert, its great tea plan- 

 tation, its model intensive farm, and its 

 working model of the Panama Canal, it 

 is a little fairyland where fairies teach 

 Pan - American history, Pan - American 

 ideals, Pan-American possibilities by de- 

 lighting the eye rather than by the old, 

 slow, and painful method of hard study 

 of our school days.
