"Since CHIMNEY Got Stuck on a Girl"
is the title of a reading which has
thrown teachers and pupils of the
Lynn, Mass, public schools into a state
of excitement and has caused dis
turbance in the councils of the Lynn
Educational association.
The association held its monthly
meeting and entertainment in the high
school hall last week. The tickets
which were extended to the public an
nounced that a lecture would be given
by Miss Ida G.. Merrill on 'Corea. .
Other entertainment, however. had
been provided, such as readings. violin
solos, etc. The hall was crowded with
members of the association and their
friends and great many boy pupils of
the public schools were present.

was about midway between Plum and
Cherry streets, and a trifie over 400
feet above Carver's cave. or the form

II found in this cave many Indian
hieroglyphics, which appeared very an

were cut in rude manner upon the
inside of the wall, which was. COM

might be easily penetrated with

the Mississippi"
A copy Of the original book of Capt.
Carver's, published in 1915. is now In
the Minnesota State Historical society
library, at ST. Paul. Capt. Carver did
not make any drawings Of the Hero
glyphics found therein, but he gives
good description Of the cave, as it then
existed. It's Indian name was Wakan-
Tebe, the Dwelling Of the Great
Spirit" The entrance from the river
bank was ten feet wide, five feet high,
leading to an arched roof inside nearly
fifteen feet high by thirty feet broad.
The bottom was Of fine. clear sand.
Twenty feet from the entrance was a
lake of transparent water. The sound
of pebble thrown into the lake vi
brated loudly.
Near this cave was the burial place
of the Naudrowessie Indians. In May,
1867, Capt. Carver returned to this cave,
wherein he held a great council with
the Indians, and received from them
deed, signed by two chiefs. to tract
Of land larger than the whole state Of
Minnesota is at the present time. Here,
too, Carver made a heap big talk to
the Indians and was made one of the
chiefs of the tribe. No traditions ex-
listed among the Indians concerning the
photographs found in the cave. But
they demonstrated that they could do
much finer work in the line of intag-
lios and other outline figures.
For nearly half a century following
Carver's last visit this cave remained
unentered by white man. Explorer
Pike attempted to find 1t In 1906, but
the entrance was closed UP. In 1917
Maj. Long succeeded IN regaining en-
trance, but In 1885 Featherstonhaugh
found the portal again closed with
debris. III 1887 it was explored by Mic
ollet and it then remained accessible
until excavations for the Burlington
and other railroads destroyed it, to-
gether with the
DAYTON's BLUFF CAVE.
This antiquity was a moderate sized
cave, about one-third the length Of
Carver's and facing to the southwest.
In width it was about twentyfour feet
and ten feet high. In it were picto-
graphs, cut into the sides and roof, of
animals, birds and men, all outline fig
ures and of the crudest workmanship.
The illustration, Fig. 1, is a reproduc-
ton of a Photograph which was on the
side Of the wall, near the floor, repre-
senting a man with uplifted hands.
The Photograph was about one foot in
