of his stories were hairlifting.
The next man had wonderful col

them was decidedly entertaining and
instructive.
Then the youth who has passion for
the famous actress. and who has three

sadly of his hopeless infatuation. and

This wonderful cave was discovered
by a cowboy in 1884 and was named
"Wind cave" from the roar OF an out
rushing current of air at the entrance.
The original opening was an oval
shaped hole about eight by twelve
inches across. Soon after its discovery
the hole was enlarged to eighteen by
thirty inches. Nothing further in the
line of development was done until the
spring of 1890, when its present owner
made an entrance easy by blasting ont
the solid rock Since that date ex-
plorations have been made until at
this time about twenty-one hundred
subterranean chambers of various sizes
and shapes have been found, connected
by seventy-seven miles of passages.
Enough has been learned to justify
the popular verdict that Wind cave is
the largest and most wonderful cave
in the known world. It is situated
about twelve miles north of Hot
Springs, S. D., and about fourteen
miles northwest of Buffalo Gap.
The entrance to the cave is covered
by small pine shanty; when within
twenty-five or thirty yards Of this the
outrushing current of air sounds like
the roar of a large waterfall. Before
entering the cave the guide fitted me
out with a rubber suit and hat. These
suits are worn to prevent the grease
from the candles spelling ones clothes.
AS soon as the door was opened my
candle was blown out. and my hat
sailed out into the canyon. 1 secured
my hat and we entered. 1t was impos-
sible to carry lighted candle, SO l
held on to the guides coat, and we felt
our way down stairs. At the bottom
of the stairs we came to a passage
leading off to the left.
This passage was pitch dark, but still
the wind blew so strong we could not
light cur candles.
Alter following this passage three or
four hundred feet We passed into
The Wichita daily eagle., 1894-07-24

around me I could see deep. dark
holes, some of them forty feet wide.
Ghostly shadows were to be seen
everywhere, and death-like stiffness
prevailed here that made the cold
chills creep over me. The ghostly
shadows, fitting here and there as we
moved about with our lights, would
almost lead one to believe that this
weird and wonderful cavern was once
the home of a multitude of ghosts,
hob-gobblins, demons and fairies. The
guide led the way to the side of one of
the deep, dark holes near US, and then
picked up a rock as large as bucket
and threw it in the hole. Down,
down, down it went, but we never
heard it strike bottom.
We soon reached the 'Garden Of
Eden" The top of this large and
beautiful chamber is solid mass OF
glittering stalactites, and the walls are
covered with little white trees with
branches about two inches long, which
resemble spun glass.
This chamber is beautiful bevond de-
scription. The Garden of Eden" is
three miles from the entrance of the
cave.
Next we visited the "Pop-corn
ROOM where it looks as if some one
had thrown car load of popped corn
against the walls, and it had stuck
there and petrifed. The ''Confection-
cry department is chamber with its
walls covered with small white and
brown rocks, which look exactly like
chocolate cream caramels.
The ''Petrified Waterfall" looked as
Il waterfall had burst through the
top of tse cave and was instantly
turned into stone.

The New Library Building 1t Washing
ton the Largest known OF Its Kind.
In round numbers the national IL
brary of the United States contains
100000 bound volumes and s00, 600
pamphlets, all of which are at present
crowded into a room In the capitol-a
room which was full fifteen years ago.
according to Kate Fields Washington.
Yet the accumulation has gone on un-
til there is barely room TO walk about
IN the library itself, while a dozen
rooms elsewhere in the building are
filed with the overflow. With the
need In plain sight it took congress
several years to make up its mind to
erect a library building, but finally IN
April, 1856, it decided to do it A site
was chosen on Capitol hill directly east
OF the capitol itself, and $3.50, was
appropriated for its purchase. Forty
or fifty buildings had to be removed
before excavations could be made for
the foundation. 1t took 2,700 feet of
fencing twelve feet high to inclose the
ground, and it was nearly four years
after the fence was built before any
part of the building was visible over
its top. There is a great deal of the
library-470 feet long by $40 feet wide.
It covers Ill, 900 square feet of ground
and will be 40 feet in height from the
ground to the top of the dome when
finished That is, next to the capitol,
1t will be largest edifice in Washington
and the largest library building in the
world.
When congress did decide to do the
work it YVES pleased to have It done
well. The utmost care was used in Sc
curing a firm foundation, and the best
of material has been put into the su-
perstructure. All the material is of
home manufacture except the white
enameled brick. When the contract
were made in this countryv-certainly
not in sufficient quantities. Several
states are represented in the construc-
ton of the library building. New
Hampshire and Maryland furnish the
granite; the structural ironwork came
from Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Indiana, the ordinary brick are made
within the District of Columbia and
the floor tiling comes from Massachu-
sets and Vermont 1.-THE new library
building" declares Mr.. Spofford, will
suffice for $50 years to come. When
finished 10 will hold 1, 200, 900 volumes
nearly 80 per cent more than are now
embraced in any library In the world"
IN national libraries France now leads
the world Hers contains full mil
lion more volumes than that of Great
Britain, the next largest. Germany is
next in rank and Russia is fourth. The
United States comes next in order.
