In It's review of the HURRICANE

Weather Bureau reports that the wind
velociiies, noted as the central vor-
tex neared Cape Lookout, were
among the highest, ifnot the highest
which nave ever been recorded AZ
Cape Lookout, at 6:S0 A. NJ, Of the
18th, the barometer falling very rap
idly, the cups of the esncmoneterwere
blown away while the instrument
was registering q wind velocity Of
l3S miles per hour. But this was not
the maximum. An hour aud q hall
later, as the storm center began to
pass away, and the barometer 10 rise,
the wind arose to the estimated ye-
locily of lG5 miles per hour. An OBJ
served velocity OF 100 miles an hour
was also reported from Cape Henry,
The highest winds attending storms

be compared, are perhaps thoscof the

The loo Cave os TeneriFs.

70 the Editor Of ne Scientific
1mertcaa:
Having read in your valuable jour
nal several articles or comhnunica-
lions on the subject of ''iee caves
and this island having one, which is
perhaps the only one Of its conditions
and circumstances on the globe, !
propose TO give you some account Of
1t. In giving the facts | do not pre-
tend TO explain them, but, on the
contrary, would be pleased If some Of
your scientific contributors would
give q satisfactory expla. Htion ofthe
phenomena which | will proceed to
describe.
The ice cave is situated on the
Speak of TcneriiIc," over 10000 feet
above the level of the sea, and nearly
1900 feet from the summit. Tile
point that most calls my attention
is, not that it exists there, as 1t is
quite cold there even in summer, but
the fact thai the mountain Is au OK
tuct volcano, and BY many supposed
to be only slumhering now. Morris
this The only point that merits re-
marx, for there is the added fact that
the water III the cave is not congeal-
ed on lie surface but on the bottom.
The cave snppliesthe ice consnm-
cd in these islallds, from which It
may be Inferred that the quantity ia
not insignificant.
The mouth oftle cave is all open
ing or well hole, in what seems to be
an ilnriiense pile Of bowlders; tie
mouth is irregular in shape, and
about two yards square. The en-
trance Is made BY being lowered per-
pcndicularly some l5 feet 10 terra
firms. where ole finds himself on a
small plat OF earth and stone, say five
yards square, aud almost surrounded
BY what seems small pond of clear
water. After the eyes src little az
customed to The dim light Tile visitor
can see the walls Of the cayc, which
are Of earth and stone The cavesis
about 100 feet long by 80 feet wide,
with roof 10 TO Is feet in height.
The water is from to 15fctt deep
over the ice, which has TO be.dng oui
with tackaxes. The ice isnot like
lhatin our American waters, being
grannla,cd and coming out in irrcg-
ulsr shaped Jumps, from tie size Of
an egg TO that Of mans head. When
extracted Il is found more or less di,.
ty from the earth and pebbles mixed
with II. 1t serves, however for med.
icinal purposes, and Tor making ice
creams. etc. In several places the
water drops slowly lrcm the roof,
but the chief supply secmsto trickle
through small crovicos III the walls
Some distanceshigher up the moun-
tains, and some 400 yards away from
the cave, there areecen number Of
jets OF what seems smoke or steam
issuing from small creviccs in the
rocks, and on applying the hand the
heat is found 10 DO insupportable for
even moment.
give these facts from o personal
experience, and can vouch for their
veracity. They appear 10 me to be Of
such a peculiar nature when consid-
cred together that they should merit
the attention Of scientific minds.
