TIlc EKcRIsECkY Caves.

The announcement is made that anoth-
er great cave had been discovered IN
Kentucky, and exclamations of surprise
and wonder almost universally accomp-
any the statement. Yet there is nothing
strange in the discovery. Wherever what
is called the mountain limestone exists
there caves are certain to be found. In
Kentucky this formation is almost uni
versal, so that the State may be called a
vast catacomb. This is especially true
Of the Green River country, which Is
honey-combed with sink holes and caves.
The popular notion is that the Mammoth
Cave is the only one in Kentucky. The
truth is, it is the only one explored to
any extent, but that there are others,
though perhaps with no openings to the
upper air, every geologist will admit
1t is not impossible that continuous aven-
ues. hundreds of miles long, lead under
whole counties in Kentucky. Almost ev-
cry farm in the tobacco region stand on
hollow ground, even when not suspected.
There is a second world to most of Ken
tucky, world below the surface, and one
grander, in many respects, than the world
above. What cayernous horrors, what
beautiful stalactites, what wonders OF
natural architecture, what at'amphitheatres,
what domes, what bottomless abysses this
underground word reveals, those only
can realize who have explored its mys-
teries. Never be surprised at hearing
that new caves havs been found in Ken
lucky. The whole State is one vast cave.

1t is very generally understood, that
Mr. Benton intends to run for the Presi-

Conventions. We trust that it may be
so, and that the force Of National Con

Caucus system was in 1924. There is
no soundness in them, and their whole
