In "a Kentucky Cave.

Provided with lanterns. several young
men started In the entrance known as
Coleman'J Cave Spring, near Harrods-
burg. and went eastward three miles,
where they could distinctly hear the
trains on tho Cincinnati Southern road
at Burgin. which is four and half miles
from this place. They found stream
Of water running the entire distance ex-
plored. In this stream they found fish
and frogs innumerable. The passage
was from seven TO fifteen feet wide and
about the same height, except occasion
ally narrowing down to fat mans mis-
cry. Not far from the entrance the ex.
plorers found large room, twenty to
thirty feet studded with stalactites. In
the center of the cavern is a circular
chamber thirty feet in diameter and no
less than fifty feet high. This is veri-
table rotunda, covered, as it were. by a
high. well shaped dome. Over the en-
trance is large curtain formed by the
union of stalactites and stalagmites, fif-
teen feet wide and as many high.
The most unique thing found by the
explorers in the cave was the fac-simile
of side saddle. all of solid sandstone
opposite the doorway in this chamber.
The young men attempted to sing the
Star Spangled Banner, but were forced
TO desist on account of the terrible rever-
berating echo that filled every nook.
corner and recess of the cave. They
found a number of bones of small ami.
mails. but aside from the fish and frogs
no living creature was found. They will
explore the cave in few days, going a
different direction from the one taken by
them yesterday. Near the outer opening
Of the cave, cut in stone, was found the
initials ID. b." and numerous figures
and designs Of animals and birds. The |
initials were supposed to be for Daniel
Boone, and those who saw them say they /
look to have been placed there years ago

Nearly ali the steel peus used in this
country are manufactured here. though
twenty years ago nearly all were i'm.

ones are imported. We use about
100000 gross every year, which is not
so large a number as might appear, con.
sidering that it represents fewer than
three pens apiece for all the inhabitants
As many people who use them wear our
gross CA pens or more in a year, il is
evident that there must be a great many
