A SubterTAnean Recess in South America
That Has Not Been Fully Explored.

A subterranean Recess In south America
That Has Not Been Fully Explored.
Among the many subterranean re
cesses which are met with in different
parts of the world few are more re
markaSle, and few less known gener-
ally, than the cave of Guacharo. in
the republic of Venezuela, in South
America. Indeed, until Humboldt
published his mastery ~delineation Of
this quarter of the globe Europeans
were ignorant of its existence, al
though it had been long known to the
Spanish missionaries, and was for gen
erations n place of awe and terror 10
the natives, 1t is situated near the
picturesque and delightful valley of
Caripe, which lies to the west of the
Gulf of Paria, in about 10 dogs. of north
latitude.
In a country where a love of the
marvellous is a prominent feature of
the mental character a cavern whose
UNEMPLOYED recesses give birth to a
river, and which is inhabited by my
riads of nocturnal birds, whose terri.
BILE cries awaken all the echoes of the
dreary su~bterranean, is, Of course, a
never failing subject OF conversation,
and the attention of Humboldt was
very soon drawn TO it.
The cavern continues TO wind i'm the
same direction, TO be Of the same
breadth and to retain its original height
of about 20 feet for a distance Of 1,1jO
feet, beyond which it begins to con
tract in its dimensions. Throughout
its length flows "A stream Of water, in
some places 80 feet in breadth and 2
feet in depth, but from what source
this s"ubtcrranean river comes no one
as yet has been able to tell, as the
rOughness Of the cavern and various
impcdiments prevent the progress of
explorers beyond a certain point. On
issuing from the mouth of the cave,
and running a few leagues, the stream
joins the River Santa Maria, whose
waters ultimately fall into the Gulf of
Paria.
Humboldt was astonished to find the
cavern Astounding in vegetation con
siderably beyond the distance which
the suns light penetrated. 1t appears
that seeds which are carried into the
cave by the old birds to feed their
young spring up wherever they can
fix themselves in the mold that covers
the calcarcous incrustations. Blanched
stalks, with some half formed leaves,
were found TO have attained the height
Of two feet.
1t is well known that when light is
excluded from plants they become pale
and dishgured, of which an instance ON
n grand scale was here afforded. In
advancing, the vault gradually began
to contract in height, and, in proper
ton as it became lower, the cries of
the g~uacharocs sounded more shrill
and piercing. The Indians at last re
fused to proceed any further, and Hum
boldt was compelled to rctrace his steps
10 the free air and the light of day. He
found that a bishop had penetrated
much further than he, having meas
urcd nearly =, 500 feet from the mouth
to the spot where he stopped, although
the cavern, to all appearance, extend
ed a great deal deeper. New York

aarEs OF ADNERrIsING.
DIRECTION FOR ENTERPRISE

While a great variety of things are be
ing considered and some of them deve!-
oped in the effort to place Cheyenne IN
the forefront of Western cities there is
one subject which is receiving entirely too
little attention at the present moment
That subject is the iron deposit IN tins
county but particularly at Hartvllle.
The iron has already been sufficiently
prospected to indicate its extent and on
this score there is no longer any doubt IN
the mind of any individual who has any
knowledge Of the fact that the supply in
the Harville district alone Is practically III
exhaustible. As to the quality of the
ore there Is equally little doubt 1t has
been assaycd time after time by scientific
men and found to be equal in richness to
the finest ore produced in the Lake Super.
ior region and containing as little of the
deetcrious substance which renders its re
duction difficult and expensive. These
two points being settled to public Satistac-
ton there only remains u other point a
market and the cost of reaching it.
The Union Pacific shop plant when
completed will include Il wheel foundry
and this Of itself should call for a large
supply OF the raw material. Besides this
we have close at hand the Colorado mar
ket and the ~cheapness Of the raw material
would induce the construction of other es
Adjustments which could dispose Of the
smelted produce to good advantage.
The articles OF agreement upon which
were based the traffic arrangements be
tween the Union Pacific and the North
western included the building of a spur to
the iron ore deposits at Hartville. We
do not know oil another single circum
stance which would contribute more to
the prosperity of CHEYENNE OF the devel
opmeut OF the country than the pra'tical
utilization of the iron ore deposits. For
this reason nothing should be left undOne
which might aid.in bringing about this
much desired result at :he earliest posi-
bic moment.

There are some comfortable features
about Helena, the Montana metropolis,
which would be appreciated further
east. The city is built mainly in the
celebrated last Chance Gulch, y
which yielded in years past more
than thirty million dollars in gold
dust. The abundance Of the precious
metal led the miners into shiftless
ways, and the washing of the dirt was
carelessly done, leaving considerable
yellow dust in the ground.

The invention of bells is attributed
To Paulinus, bishop of Nola, in Cam
pania, about 400. They were first used
in churches as a defense against thun-
der and lightning. They were first
hung in England, at Croyluud abbey,
in 9I5. In the Eleventh century and
later it was the custom 10 baptize
them in churches before they were
used. The curfcw bell was established
in 1O6S aud discontinued in 100. Bell
