To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Our efforts to sound the depths of this spring with a pole thirty-five feet in length were fruit- less. " The report of the Geological Expedition describes these curious springs somewhat moie minutely. The first that attracted Dr. Hay den's attention was the 94 WONDERS OF THE YELLOWSTONE powerful steam-vent above mentioned, which he calls the Locomotive Jet. " The aperture is about six inches in diameter, a sort of raised chimney, and all around are numerous small continuous steam - vents, all ...of which are elegantly lined with the bright-yellow sulphur. The entire surface is covered with the white silicious crust, which gives forth a hollow sound beneath the tread ; and we took plea- sure in breaking it up in the vicinity of the vents, and exposing the wonderful beauty *of the sulphur- coating on the inner sides. This crust is ever hot, and yet so firm that we could walk over it anywhere. On the south side of these hills, close to the foot, is a magnificent sulphur-spring. The deposits around it are silica ; but some places are white, and enam- elled like the finest porcelain.
