CURIOUS FORMATIONS.

1t is extremely to be desired that some
mineralogist should examine these forma-
tions and make known their elements, which
he could most probably do at glance from
the form of their crystallizations.
1t may seem trivial to devote as much
space to these formations as to the SEEM
ingly more curious phenomena of the cav
ern, of which the most striking are yet to
be visited but single glance at the garden
will serve as plenary dispensation for
these few lines. Casting lingering look
behind at the blossoms of the Gnomes'
Garden, we enter what may scarcely be
called chamber, as it is simply an i'm
mense recess left beneath the colossal boul-
ders after their fall, which pend above us
in most precarious-looking positions. This
chamber, into which opens the lower end
of the Devils Canon, contains several mar
vels. We first come upon an alban plush
of what seems to be absolutely spotless,
feathery snow, nesting beneath the cool
shade of the southern wall, but it is hard
as marble to the touch. Mounting large
boulder beside the southern wall, which has
hitherto continued in unbroken solidity
from the first chamber to this, when it be-
gins to break, we are overwhelmed with
beauties. Elevating our candles, we can
gaze up vast crevice whence foams down
a small cascade as in several other instances
before described, but this ones distinguish
ing feature is that it has exactly the ap-
pearance of frosted silver, and is velvety-
soft to thetouch. This is not always shown
to visitors, who must not neglect to insist
on a glimpse. To the left of this wonder
depend side by side from the low roof the
lambrequins, which are about ten feet in
length, and whose lower edges are actually
adorned with beaded fringe most sur
prisingly perfect.
THE CORAL GRoTTO.
Descending the large boulder over which
the lambrequins hang in their heavy folds,
and passing to the west through very
low, narrow, and torturous passage, COW
cred with howery-like tracery, we stop to
rest in the indescribably beautiful Coral
Grotto. This is no more than cleft,
though gigantic one, extending far above
us, and every inch Of its surface is covered
with formations far more delicate than the
finest coral, which not only extends as far
above us as the eye can reach, but entirely
cover the very rocks under our feet, which
trample on blossoms lovely thatwe almost
expect sweet perfume to be waited up
ward as we crush them down. From the
floor of the grotto very narrow shaftleads
down for some ten feet, when it suddenly
