In Richmond Park, in London, is a tiny pool, hardly a yard across and less than a foot deep. The water is clear and the surface still, but the bed is always disturbed. The sand is tossed up as smoke is tossed up by a fire. It looks as if the water were boiling, except that no bubbles come to the top. It is not gas that lifts the sand, but the water of the spring itself, which, pressed by a head in the higher ground behind, comes up into the bottom of the pool. Although the water appears to be boiling, it makes no sound.
