LURAY, MAY l3.-When the famous In
dian fighter. Ruilner. hunter and pioneer
scout. one bright October morning. nearly
one hundred years ago, discovered cave
in what was afterwards known for a long
time as Cave Hill, in Page county. Va. he
had not the remotcst idea that his discovery
would form plant from which, under the
touch of naturalization and progress,
would attract the attention Of the cOn;i-
nent. Ruilner's adventurous life came 10
end in IA fight with Indians. but not before
be had told Of the cave. In May,
1925, hiteou gentlemen from Luray
inspired with curiosity, made further ca
plOratiOus of the cave, and after rcnetrdt-
Ing a distance Of half a mile under the
earth came back. and reported astonishing
discoveries that had been made. But these
were in easy going times, before the days Of
bOoms and chartered companies. and the
people of Luray kept closely to- their every
dav ay0cations, giving but small thought
to The mines of wealth that were lying az
their very doors. begging them 10 come for
ward and develop them, and thereby WAX
rich i'm the blessings Of this world.

Things went on in this way for wears.
The war broke out: ~tOncwall jackson and
his men. Fremont and his troops. passed

Robert T.. Lee stopped here on hi, return

ric tinge 10 the beautiful locality known as
Luray Valley. This valley constitutes PAGE
county, 80 feet above the level Of the sea.
Luray is tine county seat OF Page. About
mile west from Luray. near the New Mar

preston filed with water aid along lis

Strange Monster of the Deem.

On the little strand at Dugort, in

Mayo. now lie the remains of one of tho
most curious creatures. perhaps. to be
met with liz all the animal creation. 1t
was stranded for some months on one
of the OUTLYING reefs at the entrance to
it to be the carcass OF Il large whale.
1t was aftcrwa,d carried on the Achill
strand by the late gale. This large
sea monster is none other than the
gigantic squid or king cuttle-tish. and
is rarely see on our shores. To what
species OF the Nmmestrophes it be-
longs will eve remain unknown. as it
was too far gone in decay, and was
sliorn of all beauty. The suckers and
horny rings had fallen off long before
it reached the strand, and the parrot
like horny beak. which is peculiar to
this animal. Was also missing. The
animal, though slrunk and distorted.
measured as follows: Length Of ten
tacles, OF long arms. thirty feet each:
circumference of body. including short
arms, sixty feet; circumference of
%tentacies, in some places, four feet. 1
