One of the greatest curiosities in the
Mississippi valley is a natural ice cave
which is located in the bluffs of the
Iowa river within less than a mile Of De-
corah, the county seat Of Winnesheik
county. This unique curiosity is indeed
q natural icehouse-a cavern in which
great icicles may be found at any season
Of the year, being especially fine in sum
NOR, when the weather is hot and dry
out tide. The bluff in which the cave IS
located is between 200 and 400 feet in
height, it being necessary to climb about
as feet up the side Of the bluff TO reach
the mouth Of the cave. The entrance is
a assure about 10 feet in width and he.
tween IS and 20 feet in height, from
which a constant current Of cold air
issues.
Thirty feet from the mouth of the
cave the passage turns toward the left
and downward, toward the river bed.
The slope is very gradual. however, and
the walls and the roof are within easy
reach all the while. After you have
reached a spot 100 feet from the opening
you entered, II Is noticed that the walls
and roof are covered with frost. Twenty
feet farther a thin coating Of ice Is no
ticed, which increases in thickness as you
go into the bluff.-St. Louis Republic.

honor and illegal in the eyes Of the well
known statute law. That law is simple.
None Of our blood royal can legally con-
tract marriage without the consent Of
the reigning sovereign. Morganatic
marriages have been recognized as such,
and such love inspired sanctity as Mt

The sedan chair Is named after Sedan,
the town where it was first used. The
earliest mention OF it in England occurs
In 1881. Early in the following century
the Duke Of Buckingham caused much
indignation by its use in London. Peo-
pie were exasperated at that nobleman
employing his fellow men to take the
place Of horses TO carry him. Prince
Charles brought from Spain In 1923
three curiously wrought sedans. two Of
which be gave to the Duke Of Bucldng-
