A Kentucky Moving stone

The moving stone at Lexington Is
one of the most remarkable freaks Of
nature in the state of Kentucky, the
great caverns alone excepted. In the
rear of the grounds attached to the
home of the late Governor Gilmer Is a
huge bowlder standing alone on tie
edge of a stream. Resting directly upon
this bowlder is another weighing at least
twenty tons. This upper bowler rests
upon a stone pinnacle not more than
two feet square, and so evenly balanced
that, although the slightest touch vii
cause it to rock to and fro, a hundr,
horses could not pull it from its socket.
Biologists say that it must have been
deposited in its present position in the
time of the glacial epoch, and that the
texture and composition of the bowldei
