lNDlANA'S NATURAL ICE CAVE,
1t Has Great Chambers from Which
There Come Arctic Rlasts


There Come Arctic Rlaats.
One of the most remarkable natural
phenomena that has been discovered in
recent years has just been reported in
the southwest corner of Brown county,
Indiana, says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
II is near the diminutive village of
| Eiklnsville. The cave is located on the
farm OF Billy Moore and is one of those
remarkable freaks of nature that puz-
zles the most profound of scientists. At
It's entrance. which is completely over
/ tapped by the trees the cold air Is
| plainly perceptible. The opening ap-
pears not unlike mine shaft long dis
used, but the steep, rocky descent
shows nothing of an artificial construc-
ton The winding way leads to sub
terranean cavern which is fully fifty
feet below the surface. This huge
| aperture is very like a broad, vaulted
corridor and is known to the natives
, as the Devils chamber. The air in this
apartment is near the freezing point
1t is trimmed with glstening rock for
nations. which reflect the light and
| sparkle with the brilliancy of countless
| diamonds. From this point several halls
lead on in confusing manner, but the
one to the ice-vault is evident from the
| cold blast which comes from it. The
| descent in this natural corridor Is sim
liar to the rocky decline at the en-
trance of the cave, but not over dozen
yards within the frost from the ice
vault is plainly visible and further on
| lie ip1y oil -;l
that is formed on the pipes of an ice
plant. little further on the descent
entirely ceases and here the walls are
frozen hard like the ground in the mid
die OF the winter. Then the narrow
way leads into a mammoth chamber
and this large natural opening is known
as the lce-vault. In this great subter-
ranean aperture, which extends fully
100 feet in width, the ice towers in
miniature mountain, appearing like
, dozen icebergs heaped together. The
frost-lined walls and ice sealed dome
present a frigidness which would
bring the shivers to a seasoned Esuui-
mau. Here the ice stands in a solid
mass, extending downward to a depth
which would be folly to conjecture
Some have advanced the theory that
the air is forced through the under pas
| sages Of the earth with such pressure
as to make this strange formation.
Some have attributed the cause to an
underlying bed of alkali whose chemi-
cal change to a gaseous form has pro-
duced the phenomenon. Others have
thought that the interior heat of the
earth acting upon the iron pyrites, or
iools gold, which largely abounds in
this country. is the true source of this
unparalleled discovery. Still others
| think the sudden expansion of the car
bonic acid gas given off by the heated
limestone, which is also common in this
country. could have easily produced the
ice. But thus far the theories are moth
ing more than speculation and further
than the fact that the ice-cave exists
and is. indeed, a remarkable natural
| phenomenon none has been able to fur
Their determine.

Socialism OF English Conservatives.

London Letter IN New York Tribune.
1t Is one OF the anomalies of English
public life that SO much OF what passes rs
conservatism is In reality inspired and in
formed with radical ard progressive ideas.
The towns are governed by committees Of
the councils, recruited principally from
wealthy landhoiders. bankers, manufac.-
urers and merchants: and the new county
and district councils also represent the
conservative and influential CLASSES OF the
community; but in the local administration
one form of collectivism after another has
been adopted. and municipal ownership OF
water. gas. tramways. electric lighS, mar
kets and cemeteries is now 4 generally
recognized principle. which ministers to the
welfare Of the masses. In the last general
election Mr.. Chamberlain and Mr.. Baifour
united in advocating oid-age pensions and
state aid for enabling poor men TO buy
and own their homes. and each proposed
was strongly socialistic in tendency, and
when parliament IL ready for work the first
measure 10 be officially expllinesi by a
Uniorist minister combines he principles
OF state aid for farmers railways with
the coilectivist practice Of ownership ard
operation of those lines by municipal coun-
~ or district councils. All these things
tend 10 show Row radical and prog -essye
English conservatism really ia.
