sweeping up from its centre. It was form-

level with the ground. On the night of
January 24, 1881, it was transformed into
the greatest of all the geysors. It burst
forth with rumbling noises. and quakiugs
of the earth. and terrific explosions. A man
named Marshall. who lives at the Forks of
the FireJIole. about ten miles away. rode
down the next morning to see what had
happened. He found the ground, for hun-
dreds of yards about the pool, strewn with
rocks and boulders. the sides of the basin
were torn away, and the river bank looked
as if it had been swamped by a cloud-burst.
Thereafter the Excelsior made eruptions at
irregular intervals, of from ten to twenty
days. for a couple of years. and was the
wonder of the geyser groups. Its column

channels. so that tho stream5pressure below
