IOwa's wonderful Ice Cave.

One Of the greatest curiosities In the
Mississippi Valley is a natural ice GIVE
which is located in the bluffs of the Iowa
River within less than mile OF Decorah,
the county seat of Winnesheik County.
This unique curiosity is indeed a natural
icehouse-a cavern in which great iciclcI
may be found at any season Of the year,
being especially fine in summer, partic-
uIarly when the weather is hot and dry
outside. The bluff in which the cave is
located lie between 200 and 400 feet in
height, it being necessary to climb about
seventy.fve feet up the side of the bluff
to reach the mouth of the cave. The
entrance is assure about ten feet in
width and between fifteen and twenty
feet in height, from which constant
current Of cold air issues. Thirty feet
from the mouth Of the cave the passage
turns to the left and downwards, towards
the river bed. The slope is gradual,
however, and the walls and roof are with
in easy reach all the while. After you
have reached spot 100 feet from the
opening you entered it is noticed that
the walls aud roof are covered with frost.
Twenty feet further thin coating of ice
is noticed, which increases in thickness
as you go into the bluif.-St. Louis Re.

bride for horses, the use of which
makes it impossible for the horse to

strap over the horses nose, and steel

very uncomfortable indeed. The new
bride works to perfection, it is said, on
a practical test, keeping the horse per-

the minimum of discomfort. One great
advantage of the contrivance is that ii

A TOUCHING FAREWELL.
The Departing Editor Has n Few Words
to Saw to His Render-.

George Il. Strodel, in retiring
from the editorial responsibility of
the Bitter Rect Times, at Hamilton,
Mont, says.
For fourteen months past we
have been making all effort at en-
deavoring to attempt to try bluff
on running a newspaper. A physi
cal collapse some six months ago
prevented an exposure Of mental
disability later OH.
1--WE have been taught three
great and important truths, the
very quintessence Of wisdom, viz.
First, it takes something other than
indigestion and an o'erweening am
bition to successfully operate a
Washington hand-press. second, it
is convenient to have a head on
each end of your hobby-horse, if
you must ride one third, that the
author of that trite aphorism, Man
proposes, God disposes, had his
yeteeth cut.
I'VE desist with no i'll will
toward the paper or its patrons,
neither a great amount of collect
able notes. We could have eked
out an existence with some pleas
ure, had health permitted, but
that is neither here nor there.
Now, since we'uns and you'uns
must part It's said that you'uns
have stole we-uns' heart, but it will
be sadder if you'uns don't bring in
your bill before weuns depart.
And to our debtors Expect the
vengeance of just Bohemian's
wrath to overtake you for every
penny escaped.
I'VE trusted i'll God and we
have not been forsaken-for we
found as great chump as ourselves
to continue this desperate struggle.
With tears and prayers we bid him
God-speed."

A Castle in the Air.

When Hilda Wangel planned a
castle in the air to be erected by
her and her master builder, no one,
not even the most enthusiastic
1bsenite, imagined her to be speak
ing otherwise than symbolically,
says the Cincinnati Commercial
Gasefte. And yet civil engineer,
NJ. Tobiansky, promises to make it
reality at the International Ex-
hibition in Antwerp next year.
His castle in the air is to be con-
structed of steel tubes, aluminium,
bamboo, and other light but strong
materials. 1t will be covered partly
with China silk and partly with
steel netting, so as to give the i'm
preston of building and at the
same time to allow the wind to go
freely through the structure and
thus offer less resistance.
The floor of the castle will be
made of bamboo and steel tubes; it
will measure thirty-three yards in
length by about eight yards in
width.
This castle in the air is carried
by a combined balloon, composed
of two hemispherical balloons and
of four cylindrical ones, each OF
which consists of complete and
independent balloon.
These six parts, of a capacity of
about IL, ,ooC to IS, 900 cubic meters
each, are made of double China
silk, made gas-proof by a special
process. Those six balloons are
held together by being put in strong
silk netting, assuming the shape of
bag; this gives better outward
appearance and is used to fasten at
the bottom of the netting strong
steel tube, to which is fastened the
castle.
The balloon and the castle are
fastened to the ground by FIVE ropes,
each of which has strength of
resistance of twenty-five tons. To
counteract the strength of the wind
the balloon is covered at the top
with a second silk net, to which
sixteen steel cables carrying
strength fifteen tons each) are
fastened in diagonal direction,
thus holding the structure in the
same position. The balloon will be
shaped so as to offer a pointed end
toward the wind prevailing in Ant
werp, northwest, and will be able
to stand pressure of two hundred
weight and over.
There will be two lifts, made out
of bamboo, aluminium and steel
tubing, which will glide along the
vertical tables already mentioned.
They will be connected by steel
cable, and arranged so as to form a
counterweight to each other. By
means of those lifts ten to fifteen
people will be able TO ascend or de
soend every six minutes. The
castles could be lowered to the
ground by the combined action of
nineteen steam cranes in twenty to
thirty minutes. 1t is, however,
arranged that it shall float in the
air even during the strongest winds
Since four OF the small balloons
are quite sufficient TO carry the
structure and 100 to $50 people, il
would be an easy matter to replace
or repair one of the balloons should
1t be necessary.
