Many visitors have inspected the vast
subterranean passageway discovered at
Castalia, Ohio. The cave is situated at
the source of Castalia creek and extends
underneath the town. The entrance is as
yet made with difficulty, but the splendor
of the interior is marvellous when shown
by the illumination of torches. The State
geologist will inspect the cave, after which
the opening will be enlarged. 1t is be-
lieved that the cave is connected with
Perry's Cave at Put-in-Bay and also with
Flat Rock Cave. which would make it ex-
tend over an area greater than that of
Mammoth Cave.

The heavy mining machinery for the
)elamar mines in Nevada, sent by wag
ms from Milford, Utah, some time ago,
J ready to be placed in the mine. The
was loaded on three wagons
nd drawn by sixty horses. Going down
he canyon from Panaca summit it was
ecessary TO remove all the horses except
iX. With rider for each horse and no
hance of stopping under three miles, the
immense load of %, 900 pounds became up-
and went crashing down upon
be team. The procession rushed down
he canyon at terrific rate where not a
orse could make misstep and live mo-
lent. After going a distance of three
lilies, in which the lives of six men were
/ the greatest peril, the runaway wagons

Judge Steere of Detroit decided that
companies have no right to ex-
ct toll from bicyclists. A wheelman sued
or damages because he had been COM
elIed to refrain from using the road. The
efendant company contended, among 9TH
r matters, that man is an animal, and
therefore, the company had right TO col

true that man is an animal and bicycle
a vehicle, we are not prepared TO ac-
ept the contention that the term animal,
s found in the act under which the COM
any was Incorporated. would include
len, women and children on bicycles. or
urse maids with baby carriages. AL
lough technically man is an animal, we
link the clear intent of the Legislature
as to designate draught animals, beasts
{ burden and other dumb brutes. There
