Immense Ice Cave in indiana.

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,
Ind. 1t is near the village of Ellans-
vile. The cave is one of those remark
able freaks of nature that puzzle th6
scientist. At its entrance, which in
completely overiapped by the trees,
the cold air is plainly perceptible.
The opening appears not unlike mine
shaft long disused, but the steep,
rocky descent shows nothing of an
artificial construction. The winding
way leads to subterranean cavern so
feet below the surface. This is very
like a broad, vaulted corridor, and Is
known to the natives as the "devil's
chamber" The air here is near tho
freezing point. From this point quite
number of halls lead off, but the one
10 the ice vault is evident from the
cold blast which comes from it,
The descent in this natural corridoz
is similar to the rocky decline at the
entrance, but not over a dozen yards
within the front the ice vault is plainly
visible. and farther on it is thick on all
sides, like the crust that is formed on
the pipes of an ice plant. A littls
farther on the descent entirely ceases,
and here the walls are frozen hard,
like the ground in the middle of the
winter. Then the narrow way leads
into a mammoth chamber, and this il
known as the ice vault. In this great
aperture, which is 100 feet in width
the ice towers in miniature mountain,
appearing like dozen icebergs heaped
together. Here the ice stands in
solid mass, extending downward to an
unknown depth.

of Frere Philippe Olivarius, of the Alb
bey of CiteauX, and runs thus:
In the year 1896 Paris will be
blotted out, never to reappear. Much
evil and nothing good in those days.
Many great cities will be burned.
To make the matter worse. it is af-
flrmed that the Frere OliVarius had, in
his day, "a great reputation for perspl-
cacity." But, as he goes still further,
and announces the end of the world for
1899, it makes a difference to Paris OF
only three years, after all.
The subject of the dissolution OF all
things earthly, when the heavens shall
be rolled together in scroll, and time
shall be no longer for this little star OF
the universe called the earth, has al
ways exercised strange fascination
over the minds of men. Prophets and
astrologers have presented their specu-
lations from time to time, while scien-
lists and students have argued the case
again and again from the standpoint OF
known hypothesis and seemingly logl-
cal argument. The Bible is full of dec
larations On this point, and the early

PETER S. M,NALLY.

that quarter by shouting as he swan.
He was badly cramped when helped
from the water, and was not himself
again for two or three days
. There is no record of all the lives
he has saved, but he has pulled at least
so persons from jeopardy.
In 1881 he came near losing his own
life in an attempt to save party of
four whose boat had been upset by the
swash of ferry steamer. The acci-
dent to the boat had happened just
off the Navy Yard. Peter was about
fifty yards away in another boat.
Jumping in he swan the distance,
righted the capsized dory, and helped
the four into it. He was so badly ex-
hausted that the four whom he helped
were in turn obliged to give him assist
ence. Off Oak Island, Revere Beach, in
1884, he rescued a Walden woman
named Lena Campbell, and worked on
her for about an hour before she
showed signs of life. There were no
physicians at hand, and the only help
he got was from some Of the pleasure
seekers, whom he directed in the work
of reyiving the woman. He saved two
boys at Nantasket the same summer,
and late in November of that year went
into the water near Rutherford avenue,
Charlestown, for 5-year-old Willie
Stevens. The Boy had sunk and Nc
Nally had to dive for him. He saved
seven lives in 1886.
He once engaged in novel match
with an English swimmer who one day
at Crescent Beach announced that the
Americans were no good at the game.
Some of McNally's friends who had
heard the boast said they had a man
they would match against him for $50
or as much more as he would like to
strip for. A Boston saloonkeeper,
who was known some time back for
his liking for everything English,
furnished the money for the man from
the other side and match was made
FOR slOO. The conditions were that the
men should swim straight out to sea,
no boats to follow, and the first TO turn
back to be the loser. There was a tre-
mendous crowd at the beach, att tc0sc

therefrom, wrought out many ingeni-
GUS deductions.
Renewed attention has been given to
this subject during the last few years.
Camille Frammarion, the eminent
French astronomer, has written much
upon the subject, and in one recent
work has vividly described the possi-
bility of the destruction of the world
by collision with comet. Lieutenant
Totten, of the United States army, and
military instr ctor at Yale college, has
also attained considerable notoriety by
his predictions based upon deductions
from Biblical chronology and prophecy.
Professor Falb of Vienna, an accom-
plished scientist, who has achieved a
reputation throughout all Europe for
his meteorological knowledge, and par
ticularly for his extraordinary famili-
arity with the habits and customs of
earthquakes, has also given corsidera-
BILE attention to the subject, and, on the
whole, has commanded more respect
than most of his fellow prophets.
Professor Falb's predictions of seis-
matte disturbances have been remarha-
bly, filled. His warning of the great
earthquake at Zante, May and 7, 1898.
was published by newspapers all over
the world the day before the earth
quake occurred. Another example of
his accurate fore-knowledge is shown
in the fact that on March 81, 1898, he
wrote to the Tourist club of Vienna.
accepting an invitation to lecture about
earthquakes, but added that he would
like better to defer his lecture until
after April Is, as an earthquake would
occur at that time. which would aid
him in giving them enlightenment.
AS matter of fact an earthquake oc-
Cured April s, and was felt all over
Southern Hungary. Professor Falb's
prophecies go back over a number of
years, have usually been made from
nine to twenty months in advance and
have almost in every instance been cor
rect.
The latest prediction of Professor
Falb is even more disturbing than that
of any he has heretofore made. He as
serts that on November Is, 1899, that
heavenly wanderer, known as the
comet of 1866. will appear and collide
with the earth, then will be the end Of
the earth as far as we are concerned.
These prophecies are scientific pre-
dictions, based upon scientific investI-
cations into the physical conditions Of
the earth. Professor Falb believes ell
the deep down interior of the earth is
filled with molten mass which Is sub
ject to ebb and flow like the waters Of
the ocean. Between the earth and u 10

McNally was on his way to the North
Shore beach on the afternoon OF June
20, 1890. He was standing on the plat
form of one of the cars and saw the fall
of a boy who was knocked overheard
from Wood Island bridge by the train.
The trains speed was about 80 miles
an hour. Mr. McNally jumped and
struck the water a considerable dis
tance from where the boy, whose name
was Robert Rogerson, fell, but he
reached him in time to prevent
drowning. Rogerson was so badly in
jured by the train that he died shortly
after being taken from the water.
McNally's hardest bout with drown
ing persons was in December, 1881,
when he jumped from the Warren
bridge to save Hattie Richmoat, an in
sane woman, who attempted suicide.
He struck a log in the leap and
smashed in his nose. The blow
stunned him for moment, but the
woman's clothing buoyed her up, and
when his mind became clear he sighted
her floating out toward the harbor. 1t
was night. The woman was of power

THE GREAT MOA.

1t Stood Twelve and sixteen Feet
High.
The great moa, now extinct, was the
largest bird that ever existed This
particular bird stands from IL to 16
feet high, and the ostrich is pigmy
beside it. AS late as 1882 Professor
Owen expressed the opinion that the
bird could be found in some Of the
remote districts of New Zealand. In
1863 party of miners crossed the Eith-
erto impossible mountain range which
runs the whole length of Middle Is
land. Their they discovered traces Of
an enormous bird, and while sitting
around the camp one evening they saw
the creatureon knoll short distance
away. The bird seemd fascinated by
the glare of the campfire, and remained
motionless for considerable time, but
finally stalked away. 1t had long,
fiat head, which it carried inclined for
ward, and not erect like birds of the
ostrich kind. They judged that its
height was nine feet. The footprints
