A new cave has been discovered at Nj
agara Falls, according to the following
statement from the Suspension Bridge
Journal: "Two men named James Mum
ford and Thomas Conroy, who for many
years have acted as guides through the
Cave of the Winds on Goat Island, deter
mined to ascertain if there was not another
cave under the American Fall. They re-
paired to the first of the ferry stairs pro-
vided with ropes and ladders. After get
ting beyond this sheet of water without
much difficulty, they found it necessary to
use their boats in order to reach the de-
sired locality. Mr.. G. w. Simms, an eye
witness, says the men we're out of sight for
some time, and he gave them up for lost.
They soon, however, made their reappear-
ance and pronounced the new cave one of
the wonders of the world. 1t was pitch
dark in the cave, and in one place they
stood between two walls of water. They
we're prevented from going further for
want of some more tools and some means
of lighting the cave"

A Now Fast Printing Press.
fLondon Letter to N. Y. World. !

For fifteen years Mr.. Hoe and Mr.. Con
quest, the London manager OF Mr.. Hoes
works, have been endeavoring to perfect
" Perfecting Printing Machine" and they
have at last sucoeeded. the last dimeu1ty
which stood in their way-the perfect de-
livery of the printed sheets from the press
was only recently surmoupted. Now
their machine, in ths;r belief, is perfect
and that it is perfect also in tue opinion or
others may be judged by the fact that tne
proprietors of the Daily Telegraph to day
decided to have ten of these new machines
constructed for them. and to have them
placed in the new offices which they are
about to erect in the rear of the present
premises. The ten machines can be con-
structed in about ten months and in
year from this time the Daily Telegraph:
with it's largest circulation in the world"
will be printed upon presses, each one OF
which will be capable of delivering twenty.
two thousand completed sheets per hour
Does not that take your breath away
This new press seems to be an improve
ment on the Walter, the Bullock, the Mar
ronetti and all the other perfecting ma
ties is the width of it's cylinders-for they
are so wide that each cylinder will print
two copies at once-the roll of paper being
made double width, and the paper being
cut in two by very ingenious device, lm'
mediately before it is delivered. Another
popularity is the perfect manner in which
the perfected sheets are delivered-they
are laid down in piles SO accurately that
one would think the sheets had been put
into press and trimmed. The Walter
press ON which the Times and Scotsman
are printed-compells the pressmen to
change the blankets once in each two hours
this one needs no such change. The
whole force necessary to each of these
presses is two men and q boy-with them
% 900 perfect copies are printed in one
one hour; aud the saving of wages as be-
tween this aud the ordinary ten cylinder
Hoe, is as fifteen is to eighty four. The
only one of these presses now complete has
been built for Lloyd's weekly newspaper ;
and to day at Lloyd's paper mills at Bow
| its performances were witnessed by q num-
Der of experienced newspaper people,
among them the proprietor and engineer OF
tue Daily Telegraph establishment. The
press did the work it was engaged to do, 1t
printed %, 900 copies of Lloyd's paper in
sixty minutes aud never was there better
printing. The cost of the press is f350O
the ten ordered by the Daily Telegraph
will cost EDS, 900; and the engines and
other machinery for them will bring The
sum up to 100000 in gold. The present
establishment of the Daily Telegraph is
about as perfect as need be, but 1t Is all tt
be thrown aside for these new presses
which, although costing 80 much, will, II
the opinion of the owners of the paper
save them S75, 900 a year, beside the ad
vantage of enabling them to go to press d
three O'clock in the morning instead o
twelve ".

A writer in the Providence Journal gives
the following particulars concerning the
railroad up Mt. Washington. He says:
g y OF the least wonderful thing ahont it is
that men slide the whole length of it, three
miles, upon o single hoard about four feet
long, called sled,' fitted to run upon the
centre or cog rail, and controlled by hand
brakes at the sides. On such himsy con-
tIivance the trip is made in seven minutes,
and for a part of the way speed of sixty
miles an hour has been attained. Should
Anything give way, or pebble get upon
the rail- or the man's nerves fail him, the
mad ride must end in sure destru ction, as
indeed it did only last Spring, for q young
man connected with the Signal Station
here. Two of them were going down at
the same time, few hundred feet apart.
On one of the steepest slopes the man be-
hind, through fatigue or fright, lost control
of his board, and rushed down upon the
man in front at a frightful speed, shouting
to him to clear the way. Instead of strain
ing every nerve to keep the lead in a race
like this for life or death, where there was
no such thing as passing, the latter attempt
ed to hold up. One of his brakes gave
way, his board slowed, lie struch sleeper,
bounded twelve OF fifteen feet high in the
air, and fell, a mangled, bleeding mass
which rolled many yards down the noun
tain before it finally stopped. Strange to
say, his companion, who had been the IN
intentional cause of the accident, reached
the. foot in safety"
