The entrance to the cave is not at all striking. From a little clump of trees a broad incline leads down into the earth. At one side is a flight of steps which lead down into the cave, which is not one great room but dozens, which are connected by narrow passageways. Without a guide one might easily be lost as these passageways wind and cross each other. As one enters the great main cave he looks up at the rough, crystal hung ceiling looming above and wonders how high it can be. The singular purity of the atmosphere makes it hard to .realize that in some places it reaches a height of 125 feet. Passing over ftiounds of earth turned up for the old saltpetre works, one enters Stalagmite Hall where mighty rock crystals like icicles hang from the lofty dome and stretch upward in peaked cones from the floor. The dripping water dissolves the limestone as it passes over the rocky roof and as the drops run down the water slowly evaporates and leaves some of the lime, this forming a stone icicle which grows and grows. The water which falls to the floor gives up some of its lime and another cone is built up which points to the ceiling and the beauty of this room cannot be described. There is much to be seen on every hand and many points of 'interest were visited within the cave. Several Rivers in Cave There are several rivers, among them the Styx and the Echo, which find their gloomy way through the darkness. Flat-bottomed boats take the visitors across the Echo river, which in some places is more than thirty feet deep. There are many underground halls of weird beauty and interest where great columns of rock from mighty pillars and where the gray of the rock is covered with a coating of yellow stalagmite and covered by tracery as rich and elaborate as Chinese carving. In looking up one thinks of great cathedrals as they slowly realize the wonderful work of nature. The tourists left the cave through a passageway rightly named the corkscrew and step out of the darkness into the pure air of the Kentucky forests, lingering for awhile near the entrance of the cave to accustom the eyes to the yellow sun-light. There are many caves in Kentucky because of the rock under the soil is limestone which is easily dissolved by the water and washed away, forming the caves. . From Kentucky the travelers returned home by way of Cincinnati, O., through Indiana as far as Michigan City and then through Illinois to Starved Rock, reaching McHenry on Sunday. ' + They passed many coal mines and oil wells along the way and saw many interesting and instructive sights. Sound Taomled Far The greatest distance at which than* der can be heard 1s 14 to 18 miles, but It Is not generally heard at a greater than nine miles. In the \ • . .u war, the shell and bomb explosions, and the noise of the 15-Inch guns of the Germans and the allies In France were heard In the eastern part •f England, at distances up to 180 miles. Overcome Physical /fit Elizabeth Barrett, before she married Browning, spent long years on her couch. At the age. of fifteen she met with an Injury to her spine, which kept her In a recumbent position for several years, and from the effects of which she sever recovered. It was during these years that she wrote those sonnets which are the greatest claim to Immortality. City Dwellers Flat-Footed Defects of vision and flat feet were found more among city dwellers than those In the country, by army physicians examining those entering the eervlce during the World war. St. Rita St Rita was canonized In 1900. Bhjj^'. Is called the saint of the Impossibly and Is generally pictured holding #> bunch ot roses. When she was dyinjjr it was in the winter, and cold, an% she ar|;ed one of the nuns at her bed* side to go to the garden to pick her ft ^ rose. Those about her bed though^ " that her mind was wandering, but on» of them, as a matter of form, went to the garden, and, behold, on one of the bushes was a beautiful rose.
