on which the explorer sits down to re-
gain his breath.
The other method of making the de-
scent is far easier for the explorer. He
is seated at the end of the rope, which
is slowly lowered by his comrades. In
one hand he holds his lantern, while
he manages the telephone transmitter
with the other. There is not much IA

cave explorers appear to prefer to Use

"a Bunch of Keys" one of Hoyt's

Full Dress in the White House.

From the Washington Post
l have asked no less than ten people
who ought to know a question involving
the etiquette of uniforms, and each one Of
the ten has skilfully evaded the question.
It's question pertaining to the white
house. OF course, i know that an invi-
tation to dine with the president is equiv
alent to a royal command, and that you
are expected to accept, even if you are
1nee-deep in previous engagements, but
what 1 want to know, and what nobody
seems able to tell me, is whether ETH
quette requires an officer to wear his uni
form when he dimes at the white house.
General Wilson wore just simply yards
and yards of gold lace and chevrons and
shoulder straps, or whatever you call
them, when he dined with the president
recently, but General Miles wore the con-
yentional evening dress of a Civilian I

of many of these openings is that in
stead of giving access to slope down
which the explorer may make his way,
as at our Mammoth cave, there is moth
ing but air beneath them and one might
drop a plumb line through the opening
for hundreds of feet before it would
touch the floor of the cavern. 1t takes
a good deal of grit and the steadiest of
nerves to launch ones self at the end
of a rope into these black abysses.
There are two ways of making this
gloomy trip and one of them requires
not only nerve, but an unusual amount
Of physical strength. In this case the
explorer depends almost wholly upon
himself in making both the descent and
the ascent. In TIE other the muscle of
his comrades is called into service TO
lower and raise him, and the exploit
does not involve so much fatigue. If
the man intends to depend upon his
own muscles he requires a rope ladder
and this appliance is part of the equip
ment of every cave hunter who expects
to investigate any of this class of OPEN
ings. The distance from the opening 10
the bottom is first ascertained by means
of a plummet line and then the rope
ladder is lowered, and after securely
fastening it at the upper end the eX-
plorer is ready for business.
His torch is fastened to his headgear
and cannot easily be displaced. Two
or three trusty comrades remain al the
surface to attend to the orders they
may receive from the explorer. At
tached to his waist is a little telephone
cord and the duty of one of the men is
to receive the messages over it and to
pay out the cord or take in the slack
as the circumstances require. The tele-
phone cord is usually 50 or 40 feet longer
than the ladder, which is rarely over
$50 feet in length. 1t has been found
that in almost all cases this length of
ladder is sufficient to land the explorer
on the floor of the cavern.
1t is not so very difficult to descend
this ladder. but it certainly requires the
strength of an athlete to accomplish
the other feat of perpendicular stair
climbing on the swaying rope. FIRE.

ROPE LADDER RESEARCHES.
A Sort of Cave Exploration That Requires
Good Deal of Muscle.

Good Deal of Muscle.
Under the inspiration of e. A. Mar
tel, who is now the most famous of cave
explorers, the lovers of this sort of re-
search are developing great enthusiasm
for diving into the depths of the earth.
Within the past two years Mr.. Mart9l,
who has done far more than any other
man to find out all about the many
caves of France, has been engaged in
subterranean explorations in Algeria
and England; and the crowd of cave
hunters who have followed his example
and methods are diving into every I'M
foreground opening they can find and
have brought to light scores of cavarns
in the limestone regions of France. They
have formed the Societe de SpeleoloSie
and publish the result of their under
ground wanderings in the quarterly
magazine Spelunca, which, from cover
to cover, contains nothing that does not
relate to caves.
Not a few of the French caves show
no external evidence of their existence
save hole in the level surface of the
ground, often so small that a man could
not possibly fall through it, and fire.
