Tho s'I3reathinr Cave"

In the state Of North Carolina, in the
western part, in the range Of noun,
tains known as the Fork range, is located
tho most remarkable cavern now known
to exist. 1t is called the Breathing
Cave" and is certainly n most wonder
ful natural curiosity. During the summer
months q current Of air comes from Il
which II 40 strong that q full grown
man cannot walk against it, and in
winter tho "inrush" Of air is equally
strong. At times most unpleasant
odor is omitted from the cave, which is
supposed to be from the carcasses OF
dead animals which have been sucked
in and killed by coming in contact with
the inner walls Of the inanimate, breath
ing monster. During the spring months,
when the change from inhalation to ex.
halation takes place, the air is filled
with pellets Of hair, dry bones, small
claws, etc. which are supposed to come
from creatures sucked into this dry land
maelstrom in times passed.
Many scientists have visited and re-
visited the place for the purpose of
studying its peculiarities, but still tho
mystery remains unexplained. st. Lou.

THE FATE OF A STORY.

An authors own valuation of his
work is something singularly peculiar
at times A case in point was told me

thanked me and said no would read it

with polite word of regret read the
story again and was better pleased with
It than ever took it to Mr.. Glider Of
The Century. He tpromiaod to give it
attention. In less than week 1t was
returned with another polite note of re-
gret. This timo was angry, 30 took
1t at once to Mr.. Burlingame, the edi-
tor Of Scribncr's, saying. Hero 10 some-
thing you may wmIt.' Mr.. Buxlingame
in his cwa polished and digninod way
expressed his obligation at being permit
ted TO read what no felt suro must be an
excellent thing. But when he had read
1t he evidently did not feel 30 sure, for
he sent it back also. Now, those three
reflections ought to have convinced mo
that tho story was not so good, and
will say that was disheartened. S'.I

frankly that she thought the story was

then asked ono Of the editors, who was
also an intimate friend, about the story.
