Beautiful Yellowstone Lake.

The Yellowstone lake is a beautiful sheet of water nestling in the mountains, nearly 8.000 feet above the sea. Its waters flow northward, forming the Yellowstone river, a tributary of the Missouri. Ttf many persons, the falls and canyon of this river are the greatest wonders of the park. Soon after leaving the lake, the stream narrows and quickens, and the water leaps 109 feet directly downward. A short distance farther it tumbles 308 feet, or almost twice the height of Niagara. The river then runs-between steep wails, which rise LOG© feet above It. _ This canyon is .somewhat winding,- with numerous bold cliffs jutting far out into the abyss; and from these <liffs grand views may be obtained. Far below one sees the silvery stream, too distant to he heard as it dashes along. Across the chasm, a half mile away, dark green pines fringe the bank, and between the water and these woods are gorgeously colored rock walls, having all the tints of the rainbow.
