The Largest Cavern in the World.

AT the Hartford meeting of the Amer
lean Association for the Advancement of
Science, Mr. Porter G. Bliss, late Secre-
tary of Legation in Mexico, gave de-
scription of the Cave of Cacahuamilpa
which, according to his statement, is the
largest cavern in the world. II includes
a series of broad and lofty halls, with
lateral passages, extending upon tie
same level an immense distance into the
heart of lofty range of mountains.
These halls abound IN colossal stalactites
and stalagmites, of every conceivable
grotcsque and fanciful form. At depth
Of 200 or 800 feet beneath the cave the
mountain is penetrated by two rivers of
considerable size, which at their en-
trance are about half mile apart, and,
after flowing distance, by direct meas
urement, of five miles, emerge from the
mountain in close proximity, and thence.
uniting, form one of the chief afiluents of
the Mexicola. The channels in the solid
rock through which these rivers emerge
are SAID by Mr.. Bliss to be large enough
to admit the Hartford State House. Frag-
ments of timber and debris are often
fioated through the mountain, but these
subterranean river.b beds have never been
explored. Myriads of bats and nocturnal
birds seek shelter or make their abode in
the mouths OF the cave.
