ie ar OF WIND CAVE _%q_e in size until the formation j nbles the finest cotton: Some of it, called mineral cotton by the guide, '_!cnld "deceive anyone away from the cave. One section of it, which has been named 'Noah's Beard,' is several feet Io? and white as snow." The Wind Cave national park is sit-- uated in the Black hills of southwest-- ern Dakota, 12 miles north of Hot Springs. The cave is believed to have served at one time 'as channels for subterranean waters which now fol-- Jow other courses. The outlet prob--= ably is in the great sprihg at the upper end of Buffalo Gap, a few miles to the eastward, where the land is about 300 Teet lower than the lowest part of the cave yet explored. ing one another, differ so greatly in structure and content that they--are believed to hbhave been created thou-- sands of years apart. 8 Several theories are advanced as to the beneficial effect of the cave on hay fever and asthma, one pdu thag ' «"Pop--Corn" and "Snowballs." 'The walls and ceilings of the numer-- ous passages and chambers in the cave are covered with gormations of a remarkable nature. Describing them in a letter to the national park sery-- ice, a visitor to the cave wrote : tion is pure white without the bril-- Mancy that makes frostwork dazzle the eye. Akin to the pop--corn effect is the snowball. In various parts of the cave the walls and ceilings look as If boys had been snowballing them with balls just wet enough to stick and spatter. Hay Fever and Asthma Suf-- ferers Find Instant Relief at National Park. Washington.--Wind Cave, one ol the least known of the American na-- tional parks, in which sufferers from hay fever and asthma get instant re Mef, is described in a bulletin of the national park service of the Depart ment of the Interior. The belief that the park was discovered by a farmer while staiking deer in 1881 is made known. The discoverer was attracted by a dJoud, weird whistling coming from & hole in a rock not more than eight inches in' diameter, which was later enlarged by blasting, and now forms the present entrance to the cave. "The frostwork forms the chieft beauty of the cave. It is formed in the softest rock and in the upper parts of the cave. It is suspended or shoots up and out of the limestone in clusters of white tiny needles formed of infinitesimal crystals gesembling pine clusters. The coarsest threads are not larger than needles, and they it is due to the entire absence of vegetation in the cave and the other that it is because of the remarkably even temperature, which is never be low 43 degrees nor above 47 degrees during the year.. Still another theory is that there is an unknown ingredient in the air of the cave. ; geodes of large dimensions, which stand side by side, practically touch-- "The pop--corn formation looks in deed like a lot of well--popped corn fastened to the walls and ceilings of the cave. In places the balls are smaller than peas, in others they are several times as large. The forma-- of these which remained open led to the discovery of the cave. At times the continuous air current, which gives the cave its name, moves from higher tn lower levels and blows out at the ehtrance openings. At other times the movement is in the contrary direction. 4 Wind Cave Game Preserve. 'The Wind Cave national park, with an area of 10,522 acres, was created in 1903. Chief interest in Wind Cave les in the masses of calcite, aragonite and quartz, and in the geodes, stalac-- tites, stalagmites and a peculiar box-- work formation. At one point two : _ The water which formed the cavern ma'onmtommfllw eracks which are now mostly covered by the earth washed into them. One The cave illustrates not Only the results of the solvent action of water on limestone, but also the redepost-- tlon of calcium carbonate of the lime-- stone, forming the stalactites and various deposits on the walls. The borwork, which is a characteristi¢c fea-- ture of Wind Cave, was produced by the water depositing calcium carbon-- ate in smaill cracks in the limestone of such a character that when the rock crambled out, thin rectangular walls of the deposit remained, ground in the park, while the timber ' amail canyons affords shelter game during severe storms. The Wind Cave national game pro-- serve was established in the west co~-- ner of the park by congress in 2:2 to provide a suitable home for a 1 of buffalo presented to the govern-- ment by the American Rison society. This preserve, occupying more than ane--third of the park area, was chosen as the one best adapted as a refuge for the various species of big game native to the region. The location on the southern slope Oof the Black bills was selected pri-- mutily because of its moderate eleva-- tion, comparatively mild winter«, and abundance of feed. The fact that a famous wintering place of the buffals was @ituated near Buffalo® Gap aided In the choice. The tract is adapted not only for huffalo, but for elk, mule and whitetailed deer, antelope and y -- mountain _ sheep.

Chairman John H. L Noyes of the street commissioners has lalid plans for one of the greatest municipal christening parties ever carried out, Impressed more and more by the complications arising from the repeti-- tion of identical street names in vari~ ous districts of the city, and some times even in the same district, Chair-- man Noyes has amassed flnm and facts showing that Boston slx Washington streets and five Washing ton places within the city limits, not Including Washington Street North. _ Duplication in the Names t . MA ~-- oughfares Reaches 3,000, Com-- missioner Learns. _ He has found that there are six streets named after the well--known Adams family and that in addition four "blind alleys" in various streets go by the name of "Adams place." Bix other streets bear the name "W est." 3 On the list of 3,100 street names where -- duplication -- occurs -- approxt-- mately 1,300 distinctly different names appear. Basing their calculation on these figures, the officials have esti-- mated that the difference represents the number of streets which must be renamed, approximately 1,800 in all. Baltimore.--A new serum which is said--to give promise of revolutionizing the method of treating «scarlet fever has been tried out with "very favor-- able" results in 18 cases at the Syden-- ham hospital here. Further perusal of the city's street lists reveals five Auburn streets, five Austin streets, five Elm streets, five Everett streets, five High streets, five Park streets, five School streets and fAive Water streets.. There are five separate Lincoln places. There are four Brook streets and three Brooks places. Four streets bear the name of Allen--and four more are named Aliston. ~Similar instances occur al-- _ Chairman Noyes has admitted the magnitude of his task in finding 1,800 new names for thoroughfares. Be-- sgides soliciting suggestions from Bos-- tonians, his board will study the street lists of other cities and towns in the United States, hoping here and there to find a name as yet unused in Boston. #f Altogether, the number of duplica-- tions reaches the enormous total of 8,100--this out of an aggregate of 5,484--avenues, --courts,-- parks, places, roads, squares, streets and terraces. . Scarlet Fever Serum Is Pronounced Successful The new curative is being developed by Dr. Alphons Raymond Dochez, an associate professor of medicine at Co-- lumbia : university, and its successful use has also been reported by hoaplfl In New York, New Haven, Conn., and Peking. 53 y Injection of the new potion inteo muscles of the patient is said generally tohutheeflmogndndnxmetenr perature to normal in about twelve hours, and in practically every case the rash accompanying the fever also is dispelled. Dr. Byrckhead Macgowan, 'superin-- tendent of the Sydenham hospital, ex-- plained that the gerum is almost alone in the field of scarlet fever treatments. It is produced through immunization of horses and is the result of experi-- ments conducted by Doctor Dochez Berkeley, Cal.--Nutritional special-- ists at the University of California have estimated the amount of vege tables required by a single person dur-- Ing a year, and to assist home garden-- ers further, have Axed the space need-- ed to grow enough vegetables for a family.
