ICE CAVES.
Tn California with Their Pros;uct Clear

In California with Their Prossuct NJ Clear
as Crystal.
In Modoc county, Cal, is an immense
field of lava covered with q beautiful
forest Of conifers, which is inhabited by
deer, bear. panther. lynx. coyote, porcu-
pine and numerous fur bearing ar,.mals
whose pelts arc of value to the trapper.
1t was in these lava beds that the Modoc
Indians made their stand against the
government troops some years ago and
were with very great difficulty destroy
ed. It is here that the ice caves arc
found, and from them the Modocs drew
their water supply while besieged by
the troops.
One never having been over lava
field can form but little idea of the
chaotic manner in which the ingenious
workmen have left the products of their
labor The only order observed is disor-
der of the most exaggerated kind,
wherein every mass of rock has been
twisted or raised or depressed or arched
over some cavern in a different way from
that of its neighbors. The caves scatter
ed throughout these lava beds are OF
very varying shapes and dimensions.
Some are mere covert ways, with an
arch of stone thrown over them. Others
are Immense chambers some yards from
the surface, another kind is sunk quite
deeply and may be in series Of cham
bers united by corridor that opens at
the surface, while another kind seems
70 go directly TO the center of the earth
without stopping.
Ii is here that the stores Of ice are
found, which is formed from water that
filters in annually from the melting
SHOWS above. Every winter the lava
beds are covered with "a fall of Stow
which varies from two 10 ten feet III
depth. The temperature over this region
in the coIdest weather is often 20 or
more degrees below zero, 50 that any
water that might be III the caves is
frozen solid, unless the caves mouths
should be entirely covered with snow,
which is not often the case. Now, when
spring comes and the snow melts. the
water percolates through into the cold
storage chambers beneath and is there
CONCEALED by the prevailing cold. 1t is
in this way that the ice has been made
and stored for years. And were these
caves accessible to market they would
furnish the purest of ice to many cities
for years TO come.-Popuiar Science

Manning and the Jesuit..

Edmund S. Purcell, who wrote the
biography of Cardinal Manning that
was go widely discussed and i'll some
quarters condemned, wrote a paper for
The Nineteenth Century entitled "OH
the Ethics of Suppression In Biogrn-
ply, " in which he makes an interesting
statement concerning Manning's rela-
tions to the Jesuits:
Cardinal Manning could not endure
it was not in his nature-to be looked
upon by the Jesuits as an ''enemy Of
vital godliness. =" They fell under his
ban. Metaphorically he '''cursed them
with bell, book and candle. In a
laughing fashion their retort came
quick:
Cardinals may come, cardinals may SO.
But We 20 on forever.
Cardinal Manning, as il known of all
men, regarded the suppression of the
Society of Jesus in 1913 as the work Of
Gods hand. He likewise looked upon
ats restoration in 1927 as Gods work.
But his abiding hostility TO the Jesuits,
based, as he declared. on their corporate
action in England and Rome, was tesii-
fed by the prediction which he uttered
