A New Mammoth Cave.


cave has just been discovered near
Spencer, Ind. that rivals Wyaudotte
In Crawford county. Two msn ex-
piored this underground palace one
night. The entrance is hole twenty
feet deep and three feet in diameter.
At the bottom begins narrow and
steep passage extending thirty feet.
Here step Off Of about Eve feet was
encountered and 20 the left was a
chamber about eight feet in diameter.
Passing through a hole they came 10 a
chamber thirty feet high, the dome Of
which was hung with many stone pend
ants dripping with water, forming a
beautiful sight in the haring lamps.
y narrow passage led into another
chamber about sixty feet high. Then
they entered still another room.
Through a six y-foOJ aisle they came
10 manhole which was closed With
sand and dirt, the product of rains that
wash through. The openings from
here were too small to pass through
but hollow. cavern-l.lle sound was
discovered beneath. y hole will be
drilled through this into the cavern
below. The water disappears here and
the air Is observed TO rush through.
The explorers ssent an hour and fifteen
minutes under ground.

Experience and Training In MechanI-
cal work.

To be good mechanic, said Sir Ben
jsmiD Brown, at the recent meeting of
the British Scientific Association, long
training Is necessary and, above all.
ability to distinguish good from infer
ior work. A regular course OF pro-
gress Irom one branch to another should
be carefully followed. so as to teach
every class OF work up to the most diff.
fcult. In this the real Interest of the
employer is the same as that OF the lad,
viz, to learn every step thoroughly, and
than pass on TO something more diff
cult. The author contended that a
long training in msnufactory Is abso-
lufely necessary, and this should be
supplemented by theoretical and techs
uical instruction. at would probably
be good gain TO give lad six or ght
months of theoretical teaching after he
is out of his apprenticeship. The old
fashioned system OF apprenticeship, not
much shortened, and with very slight
notifications, is the only reliable meth
cd fol either employer or mechanic to
learn his business but, as work has
become more scientific and elaborate, II
is necessary for any young man
TO excel TO have a good theoretical and
technical training in addition to hi:
factory experience.

BOYS Who Succeeded.

There was once in Harrow school a
very poor boy, the son of a sm al trades
msn IN Harrow. who was very much
hurt by thoughtless taunts about the
poverty OF his family, and he used to
say Never mind l intend before /
die TO ride in a coach and four - not a
very noble ambition but long before
DIR. Parr died he had become the great
est scholar of his age, and babitually
IOde in q coach and four. when War
Ten H-sJinRs was a boy he used to
grIeve ~ the fact that his family had
lost their paternsl estate at DaylesfoTd,
and 10 say ~ will buy that back. >
He grew up 20 be the great proconsul
OF the age he bought back the es-
tate, and he died at Dayles.ord. l had
the honor of knowing Mr.. George
Moore. YOu may remember that be
came 20 London a poor, upkown, un-
befriended Cumberland lad. When he
entered a great commercial establish
ment his ambition was Il intend to
marry my masters daughter and be-
come my masters partner" Both
those things he accomplished. He not
onlv became very wealthy man, hut
what was Infinitely better, a man of
great service TO his generation. About
sixty years ago there was boy OF Jew
ish extraction, a clerk in a solicitors 3
Office, and to the intense amusement of
his companions be used to say II in
tend 10 be Prime Minister OF England, -
and in spite Of scorn he became Prime
Minister, and his name was Benjamin
Disrseli. Ninety years ago there was
a boy in Staffordshire who had been
told exactly what 1 am telling you
that any boy who determined TO be
this or that could be, and he said If
that be true. l will tes. il and L am
determined to be prime Minister of En-
gland" That boy became Prime Mn
lister, and his Dame was Robert Peel.
Some fifty years ago there was a very
rude and ungAinly locking boy who
seemed as if all his limbs were out of
joint ; when seven years old he was
shOeless and penniless, who at seven-
teen was driving a canal boat, at
twenty was a Isil-splitter, at twenty
two was at the head of a small shop
which was very successful, but who
used to amuse his comrades by saying ::
Never mind ; intend to become
President of the United States" His
name was Abraham Lincols. II is dog
ged that does It, aud 1t is thorough that
does it. After all his failures Lincoln
thought he would take to the law. He
bought law book, and after breakfast
he used go TO out and sit under tree,
and with his legs higher than his head,
move round the trees IN the shade from
morn to dewy eve. In that way be
mastered tie law book. and in time be-
came one of the greatest OF the modern
Presidents OF America.

Ancient Inks.

According TO the Roman naturalist.
Piiny and other authors, the basis of
ink used by ancient writer's was formed
OF lampblsck, or the black taken from
burt ivory and SCOT from furn aces and
baths. Some have also supp sed that
the black liquor which the cuttle- fish
yields was frequently employed, One
thing Is certain, hat whatever were
the component ingredients, from the
blackness and solidity in the most an
cient manuscripts, from an inkstand
found at Hercuisneum, in which the
ink sVpeaEs as thick as oil, and from
chemical analysis the ink of antiquity
was much more ohaque, as encaustic,
than that which is used in modern
times. Inks of different colors were
much il vogue. Red, purple, blue, and
gold and silver inks were the principal
varieties. The red was made from YER
million, cinDabar and carmine of
which, called the purple encsustic, was
appropriated to the exclusive use of the
emperOrs. Golden ink was much more
popular among the Greeks than among
the Romans. During the middle or
dark ages the manufacture both of il
and Of silver ink was an extensive and
lucrative branch of trade, and the IL
Illuminated manuscripts which remain
are striking proof of the high degree
OF perfection 20 which the art was car
ried. The making of the inks them
selves was distinct business, and an
other connected with il and 10 which
i. owed its origin was that OF inscrib-
ing the titles, capitals as well rs en-
phatic words, IN colored and gold ard
