What Boys Wish to Become.
London Telegraph.

When a boy has ceased to wish to
be q clown he desires to drive an en-.
CINE, and when that ambition has
passed his next want is to 60 to sea,
Itis curious to observe the uniformity
of opinion among boys on these mat.
tiers. We never heard of a lad passion.
ately anxious to be a lawyer, and hid.
ing himself in corners in order to read
about the law, nor probably is a lad
a small lad-often found who devotes
his days and nights to thinking how
delightful it must be to be clergy
man. To be stock broker, a banker,
a farmer, to be even a member Of
parliament is not among the am,
bition Of boys. They would be will
ing to shine as actors, indeed, but on
condition that they appear with whit
ened cheeks and with a leg of mutton
and a hot poker in their pockets. OF
engineering they have few ideas out
side the notion that an engineer,
whether civil Oh otherwise, is an indi-
vidual with grimy face-a distinct
advantage to boys, most of whom alb
hor soap-whoistands behind a loco
motive and makes it go along as fast
as he pleases, not to mention whist
ling whenever he takes it into his
head to enter a tunnel. The sea,
however, is usually the boys longest
and most earnest dream. And is it not
little extraordinary that the hardest
the toughest, and having regard tc
the routine of it's discipline and the
character of it's members, the most
prosa1c OF all callings should stand al
the very head of the professions as al
inspiration of sentiment, of poetry
and of romantic fancies. The sea has
charm for the young which men Cal
only understand by becoming boys
again in fancy, and thinking out o.
the minds they had when boys. Were
it possible exactly to determine al
that lad dreams about the sea, the
impulses which move him toward it.
his ideas of life on board ship and
the wonders of the world into which
the mariner sails, we should find the
picture wanting neither in humor mol
in pathos-humor in the utter unlike
ness of the truth, and pathos in the
generous, child-like imagination which
filings it's wonderful light over one Of
the harshest and most unsympathetic
of human facts, enriching it to such
a degree that even the mature mino
is captivated by the boyish fancy
and regards the sea from the stand
point of the dreaming, enthusiastic
lad.

A Wonderful Cave.

About O mile from the market
town of Adelsburg, in Austria, and
three miles from Trieste, is to be
seen the most wonderful cavern in
Europe, and possibly in the world,
called the Adelsburg Cave, and which
has been explored for length of
nearly 5000 yards, as far as a sub
terranean lake. This cavern consists
of several grottoes, from 60 to 80 feet
high. The interior resounds with the
noise of water, as a little river runs
completely through it, forming many
cascades on its way, and being finally
lost to view in a fissure. This river
continues its subterranean course fol-
about eight miles, and after time 1t
disappears into the caverns of Laase,
whence it emerges as a navlgable
river called the Laibach. The en-
trance TO the cave of Adelsburg is IL
Illuminated by hundreds of candles,
and q transparent curtain composed
of large sheets of crystallized lime
stone, is seen hanging from the roof,
The vast hall or ballroom is about
$50 yards from the entrance. 1t is
800 feet long and 100 feet high, and
is adorned with transparent stalacutes
of every kind of fantastic shape and
form. Until the year 1919, this ball
room was the only part known; but
At this date the wall of stalagmltC
was broken through, and a series Of
chambers exposed to view possessing
a cathedral-hke appearance, from the
stalactites in many instances forming
vast columns, by meeting the stalag
mites below. In the Adelsburg cav.

Some time ago the Press called attention to
the critical notice of Hunts "Bathers, al
lately engraved by Schotf and published by

ton Advertiser art critic speaks in the highest
terms also of the engraving. The Advertiser
says:
tThe published plate is treated from lhe
painters standpoint rather than that OF Inc
engraver, and in manner seems TO DO ID SYM
patty with the tendencies OF tho contemporary
American wood-an gravers, who, in thelr 10,
production OF paintings, am TO Eecure
greater freedom and breadth of style, to get
away from the mechanical GOODNESS OF set
formulas in line, and 10 reproduce sympathet,
ioally the painters textures, the effects OF
light and shade, masses and color; to make
their work artistic rather than mechanical
Mr.. Schoff's success win not DO questioned
unless by engravers who care more for tradi-
ton than art IL will be considered one OF
the most artistic reproductions on steel ever
accomplished in this country"
Mr.. Frank I. Robinson, art critic OF the
Transcript, treats the engraving in similar
vein and says sit will add new laurels to the
artist and II they had done nothing more in
years to come, the efforts of Msssrs. John A.
Lowell y Co. TO give the art Of engraving q
new lease OF popularity by keeping en- rapport
with the spirit of contemporary art win be
recognized in this work
Mr.. w. S. Lowell, at his store on Congress
