In utter darkness, his light gone out
At one point in this exploration he
came on a scene of fairy-like beauty.
From the opening above the light filtered
through its rays of intense blue, irradiat-
ing the stalactites and giving the great
cavern the appearance Of a magnificent
cathedral.
In the heart of the Cevennes, between
Mende and lie Vigan. is great noun
tain torrent called Bramabiau, the source
of which was not known. NJ Martel de-
termined to search for this.
His efforts resulted in the discovery of
a subterranean river over three miles in
length, and of cascades, grottoes and gal
leries without end.
Our advance" he says, was a series
of gymnastics all movements regulated
by the width of our path (the ledge bor-
dering river and cascades), the hold to
be got of projecting rocks and the depth
of the water Sometimes we were up to
our necks in water. sometimes clinging
like flies in the WALL the perpetual eX-
tncton of lights, the difficulty of making
each other heard in the roar of the cat
aract, the heaviness of our dripping gar
ments, greatly impeded progress
Fortunately, at last. wide platform
permitted halt. We at once named the
spot Sale de Ropos, or chamber of rest"
Bramaliau is now mapped out, all its

After descending the aven of Padirac
NJ. Martel found a series of charming lit
tie lakes. He writes:
Surprise sealed our lips. One after the
other four little lakes follow in close
succession. the rocky walls on either side
draped with stallactites, all sparkling like
diamonds under our magnesium light, all
reflected in the smooth, limpid water.
Not sound breaks the stiffness OF this
unknown world only from time to time
we hear the trickling of water from the
roof, the hollow cavern echoing the tall.
the whole making UP a tender, penetrat-
ing rythmatic music. Not living soul
has preceded us in this strange voyage"
On a second occasion M. Martel made
an exploration on a much larger scale.
He and his companions navigated a river
a mile and six furlongs in length, in
Guiding chain of twelve lakes, each sep
arated by a little waterfall.
This cavern of Padirac is to be turned
into a show place for tourists, ana the
Surrounding population will, of course
lose its pleasant, unsophisticated ways.

UNDER THE EARTH.
Wonderful Discoveries of NJ. Mar
tel in Frnnce.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
A proposed feature of the French uni
versal exposition of 1900 is a cavern which
shall be deep enough to afford tropical
heat-that is, the theory of the heated con-
dition of the center of the earth is cor
rect.
NJ. Groussett, a Partisan member of the
Chamber of Deputies, is the author of
the project. He says that after pene-
trating a certain distance into the earth,
the temperature rises IL degrees in ev-
cry hundred feet At this rate the boiling
point would be reached at 1900 feet and
the state of fusion about twelve miles
down. The cavern at the exposition would
be $500 feet deep, and below that bor-
ings would be continued for scientific pur-
poses There would be galleries and gar
dens fitted up in keeping with the tenn
perature attained.
In connection with this idea, it Is in
teresting to know that France possesses
an explorer of caVerns, NJ. A. f. Martel,
whose discoveries and books promise to
make cavern-hunting rival of Alpine
climbing for those who want exercise
and excitement combined.
NJ Martel is an active young Partisan
lawyer, being one of the counsel for the
Tribunal de Commerce of the Seine. He
has explored caverns in his spare mo-
ments.
He penetrated thousands of feet below
the earth's surface and found subter-
ranean chambers greater than the largest
of buildings, waterfalls and rivers of i'm
posing size. Sometimes he came on
scenes of remarkable grandeur. HIS jour
neys were miles long, and ice-cold
streams had to be passed in pitch dark
ness An these things he describes in a
way both scientific and readable
Before entering on an exploration, he
provided himself with folding canoe, a
vessel holding two persons and Weighing
only few pounds; a portable telephone:
rope ladders, miners lamps, large can
dies a pot of white paint for marking the
way; whistles and hunting horns: a COM
pass and a few other tools, as well as
provisions. He usually took two compan-
ions with him.

BUSINESS AND CROP REPORTS
Less Damage to Cereals Than Has Been
Reported
Bradstreet's and Dun's Reports Point t
Increased Production and Revival
of Business

NEW YORK. May 4.--R. G. Dun &
Company's weekly review of trade which
issues tomorrow, will say:
If wheat has been so greatly injured by
the snow and trosts in May that the sud-
den rise of II cents in two weeks is justi-
fed, the calamity will affecrt all business
prospects. The markets do not believe
it. for stocks do not collapse, iron and
leather and hides still rise and no holder
of wheat would sell at so cents, lower
price than had been known when at this
season for thirty years prior to 1898, if
current reports were credited. Some in
jury has undoubtedly been sustained but
our own dispatch does not show that it
is really serious. The temper is to buy.
regardless of possible requirements, in
the faith that prices are sure to rise.
have been larger than last year in spite
of storms and frosts. The we elk s sales
here have amounted to 155, 900. 900 bushels
and accounts of damage by frost and by
insect are so mixed up that some traders
think the bugs must wear overcoats.
Corn rose 331 cents during the week
though much OF the corn killed may be
replanted. Pork rose so cents per barrel,
lard cents per 10 pounds and ribs
cents. Cotton also advanced 3-S of cent
during the week.
The iron industry distinctly gains and
the improvement is no longer confined
to prices of materials. Better wages at
and west OF Pisttburg convince buyers that
prices must rise and there have been
large sales of finished products with
about 81 per ton better prices for
structural form and steel bars. Sales OF
rails to May 1st were 420. 900 tons and de-
liveries $50, 600 tons. both larger than
029 freight and 70 passenger cars, 5000
more than the whole year of 1894. An
thracite coal is decidedly stronger and
copper very firm at 1014 for LAKE. though
the April output was about $500 tons
larger than that of January.
Failures this week have been 207 in the
United States against 1873 last year, and %
in Canada against 2S last year.

Bradstreet's RecOrt


NEW YORK, May 24.--Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
The modera reaction in the stock market
last week and this week. caused primarily by
frosts and reports of severe damage to cereal
crops, was followed only in part by corre-
spending check to the movement IN general
trade. Not one OF the larger states confirms
corn with which the exchanges have abound
ed, and there is less reason to believe in the
extent of it as currently reported. The most
bullish feature in the whole situation lies in
the announced restriction of Argentine and
Russian exports. reduced export ability of
nearly all the leading producers, and shorter
supplies Of importing countries. Few believe
the market has touched its highest point on
this wave, although it is 25c per bushel above
the lowest since the panic. Exports OF wheat
treal, this week amount to 2,754.0O0 bushels,
against 1887, 900 bushels last wesk, 2,S1OOO0
bushels in the third week OF May, 1894. 3, 1O8,
900 bushels in the third week of May, 1898,
2, $50, 900 bushels in the year before that, and
2, 345, 600 in 1891.
This weeks record of advances are as con-
spicuous as ever, and will include hides, Shoes
leather, Bessemer pig iron, steel billets, nails
bar iron, copper, zinc, wheat Indian corn
oats, pork. lard, -four coffee, cotton, naval
stores, potatoes, poultry and butter-22 in all.
The tone OF the iron and steel markets is the

Woolen manufacturers arc working on old
