distance to the bottom of this was sixteen
feet and two and one-half feet in diameter
They sounded with a rope and sinker and

long and at the end was another chamber
of immense size.

examination. He scrambled back to where
LAWYER was waiting and further explora-
tons were made on the first level Another
passageway was found leading off from the
main one twenty feet, when a sudden turn
was encountered. This led into a straight
way of one hundred feet and finally into a
third chamber, which Mr.. Gould named the
ball room.
SINCE that time other explorers attracted
by the report of Mr. Could have visited
the Allegash and found other passageways
ana great chambers. Six other rooms have
been found and the cave still contains won

WOMAN AS A MAHoUT.

She can do her best work in the world
by turning her own talents to account to
smooth the path of a man whom she can
sway and who has all the possibilities be-
fore him. So the woman does her utmost
to use her brain in his interest, to attend
to all tiresome details so to leave him
as free as possible from petty cares and
worries. Then the man can concentrate
the whole. of his energy in his work, and
the woman's ambition is Vicarously sat
isfield. and feels, with half-amused com
placency, that but for her his end would
never have been attained. And this eternal
watching AND criticism develops in woman
great power of knowing what men will
do in particular circumstances. She has
seen so often before that particular circum-
stances have particular effects in determin-
ing the actions of the workers.
In the stress and hurry of the fight the
man is not conscious which way the ac-
ton is tending. He is absorbed in doing
the duty Immediately before him. The
woman looking on c0olly can say TO him:
See, this line of conduct must lead to this
and this consequence. You have only to
take advantage of it and your success will
be assured. It is therefore because wom-
an is essentially a IookeT-on that she is so

Calls 1t Star Dust.
Phi1adelnhia Press.

A curious theory has recently been ad-
vanced by the eminent but somewhat &c
centric scientist. Gustave RIattner. of
Vienna. He believes in the existence of a
cosmica1 powder or dust which he claims
is continually falling from space and
which is the dust. or remains of far-away
worlds which have been destroyed. Some
of these worlds. he says may nave been
so far away that the dust Or remains of
them which is now raining down upon our
world, in the shape Of fine powae~ has
been a million years in traversines the space
between us and what was once that de-
stroyed worlds orbit
Blattner says this dust is of the same
composition as meteorites and that there is
a sufficient amount of ii falling to increase
the size of our globe ten inches in each
265 days. This meteoric dust or star re-
mains appears to be principally composed
of nickel cobalt, phosphorus and mag
nesia. In the arctic regions II is frequently
found in such quantities as to color the
snow almost black One reason the Pro-
fessor thinks it is star dust is because
