About mile from the market-town of
Adelsberg in Austria, and three miles
from Trieste, il to be seen the most won
derful cavern in Europe, and possibly in
the world, called the Adelsberg Gave,
and which has been explored for length
of,nearly 5000 yards, as far Ms a subterran-
can lake. The cavern consists of several
grottos from sixty to eighty feet high.
The interior resounds with the noise of
water, Ms little river runs completely
through it forming many cascades on its
way, and being finally lost to view in n
fissure. This river continues its subter-
ranean course for about eight miles and
after time, it disappears into the cav
erns OF Laase, whence it emerges MS n
navigable river called the Laibach. The
entrance to the cave of Adelsberg is illu-
minated by hun lreds of candles and n
transparent curtain, composed of large
sheets of crystallized limestone, is seen
hanging from the roof. The vast hall or
ballroom is about 1870 yards from the en-
trance. 1t il 800 feet long, and 100 feet
high, and is adorned with transparent
stalactites Of every kind of fantastic
shape and form. Until the year 1919 this
ballroom was the only part known; but
at this date the wall Of stalagmite was
broken through, and series of chambers
exposed to view possessing a cathedral
like appearance, from the stalactites in
many instances forming vast columns, by
meeting the stalagmites below. In the
Adelsberg Cavern, numerous specimens
are found of the proteus, kind of lizard
that dwells in the bottom of cavern
lakes.

Power Of the Will.


Three or four citizens the other day
we're having a confab at the east entrance
OF the City Hall in regard to will power,
and there was one of the group who dared
to 60 far enough to assert that a man of
strong will power could draw person to
him from distance of one hundred
feet.
TRY it-try it !" exclaimed one whose
faith was slight.
81 don't say that can do it, because |
may not have the strength of will.
We'll, there's IL man down by the gate
Who is looking up and down AS ii unde-
cided. Bend your will Oh him and see if
you can draw him this way
"Ill try it, Just to please you, replied
the advocate, and he fastened his gaze on
the man, clenched his hands, and put
forth Il mighty effort The man at the
gate seemed to feel it. He looked across
at the monument, down the street, then
up ut the hall.
III be hanged if you aren't doing it r.
whispered one of the group
The advocate braced himself for n
greater effort, and the man ut the gate
left his place and walked straight toward
the building. He advanced like one in n
dream. and not II man dared move II hand.
He came closer and closer, and as lie
reached the steps he pulled paper from
his pocket, held it up to the man with tie
will power, and quietly remarked:
''Mr Blank, here's that old bill iur

ting around after you, and want my mon
ey to-day, or I'll begin suit.
