rA. w.l,.us.o. Cave.

These caves, the earliest discovered
In Australia. are remarkable FOR the
large number of fossil remains Of ex-
tinct animals found In them. The town
Of Wellington, New South Wales, In the
vicinity OF which the caves are sttuAt-
cd. b on the western line, about 2AS
miles from Sydney. The caves were
discovered In 1870 by Sir Thomas L.
Mitchell, the colonial suryeyor-gener
while engaged in making explorations
for a road to open up the country. The
valley in which the caves are situated
is bounded on each side by hills Of lime
stone rock, rising to height OF about
100 feet on the eastern side, and consid-
erably higher on the other. The lime
stone presents a naked and rugged sur
face, composed of pointed. weather
worn blocks. between which are email
crevices leading to caves and assures.
The Great cave Is approached by
steep and rugged entrance. and consists
Of spacious and lofty vaulted cham
ber, Ornamented by au immense stalac-
ttte. About eighty feet to the west Of
the Great cave IN the Breccia cave, one
OF the most important and interesting,
from a scientific point of view, yet dis
covered in Australia. 1t is a kind Of
deep pit or well. and from its small
size and the difficulty of access is not
much frequented by visitors. Gerard
krefft, who for several years was cura-
tor Of the Sydney museum, took much
interest in the work pf exploring the
Breccia cave. and under his superin-
tendence many hundreds of fossil re-
mains were recovered. CuriOusly
enough. no bones OF birds have yet
been found. The country around Wei
lington has yet to be Systematically ex-
plored. When this is done 1t is prOba-
BILE that further discoveries will he

good resulting from the exercise of
roller skating, are entirely obviated and
the foot cycle has been demonstrated to
be entirely noiseless There are three
wheels supplied with each foot cycle,
two in front and one behind, and it is
OH this tricycular form Of the device
that the beginner learns. One of the
front wheel is easily detachable and the
Continuance thus becomes bicycle,
upon which form, the inventor claims,
the highest and easiest rate of speed
may be developed and the most intricate
of fancy tricks may be performed.
The action in foot cycling it is said to
bring into use all the muscles eNerted
in ice skating, as the motions are pre-
cisely similar In skating every mus
Gle is continually brought into play. If
this claim of the inventor is well found
ed the foot cycle will fill place in the
athletic development of young people.
Skating has been recommended as an
ideal means for the development of
grace and symmetry in the human
form. The ordinary cycling costume
is perfectly adapted to foot cycling, and
as most women doff the artificial sup
port of the corset when riding a bicycle
the benefit to the intercostal muscles
and those of the back should be very
great and do much for the undoing of
the admitted evils of tight lacing, while
restoring that sense of strength and
self-reliauce without which a graceful
carriage cannot be permanently ac-
Quired
But it is not for itself alone, and the
exercise it promises, that the foot cycle
bids fair to become exceedingly popu-
lar 1t is claimed that, owing to its
ingenious construction, the device af-
fords it's user complete control over all
motions, forward, backward and side
and a command quite impossible with
either ice or roller skates. If this is cor
rect, then team games of foot cycle polo
and golf, with the sports slightly modi-
fed to suit the conditions, and even
tennis,may provide us with a new series
of novel and exciting indoor games for
the winter months-a field which is re-
stricted 1t is also claimed that an eX-
citing and amusing sword tourney, per-
formed by opposing teams armed with
single sticks, has been invented espe-
cially for the use of foot cyclists.

would hardly be found handling them

There is the usual difference of opin-
ion as to the actual building which
Dickens had in his minds eye when he
wrote THE Old Curiosity Shop" The
novel itself does not give any trust
worthy clew, and the distinction has
been claimed for "a Fetter lane, which
was pulled down early in 1891. The
preponderance of opinion inclines to
Portsmouth street, which is in a neigh
bohood replete with associations of
Dickens.
The street, which originally bore the
queer name of touches building, takes
ITS present name from Portsmouth
house, built by lingo Jones for the earl
of Portsmouth, the front of which is still
standing, but the interior has been en-
tirely transformed to meet the require
ments of modern days. The quaint old
house we illustrate is believed to be the
remnant of the dairy house of Louise
de Kerhouel, duchess of Portsmouth,
the "baby-faced' beauty, who so long
held the susceptible Charles Ii. in
thrall. Thus the name of the street is
sometimes derived from the duchess
