remarkable freaks of nature in the State Of
Kentucky, the great caverns alone excepted.

home of the late Governor Gilmer IS huge
boulder standing alone on the edge of a
stream. Resting directly upon this boulder
is another weighing twenty tons. This up
per boulder rests upon stone pinnacle not
more than two feet square. aud so evclly bal
anced that, although the slightest ,ouch will
cause it to rock to and fro, hundred horses
could not pull it from It's socket. teolosists

boulder argue favor OF the theory th-t II
