The Mammoth cave of Kentucky 20
situated in Edmonson county near
Green river, about seventy-fiye Mills
west of Louisville, and is the l9rpas+ in
the United States, if not in the world.
1t was discovered in 1902 1t has aIWays
been the property of private indiv;lI,ais
The mouth Of the cave is reached by
passing down a wild, rocky ravine. re
entrance IS almost hidden by a dense
growth of trees. The opening of the
cave is funnel-shaped, from so to 100 feat
IN diameter at the top, and the steen
walls are about fifty-fiye feet high. The
cave extends about nine miles UNDER
ground from its opening and its fnferior
IS separated into a succession of rooms
or passages, and to travel through the

miles OF travel. The cave is one of the
largest known, and it's internal structure
is most varied and wonderful. Through
out the cave are StalactiteS of tAOrmOuS
size depending from the ceiling There
are some very curious parts in the cave:
for instance, the star chamber. which is
800 feet long and seven feet wide. and its
ceiling is seventy feet high, and is made
OF black gypsum, which Is set with white
points. that by dim light present a
most remarkable likeness to stars. Still
another is incrusted with crystals of
dazzling wniteness, which glitter like
diamonds in the torchlig-ht and seem to
show many hues and delicate tints. There
are several very remarkable pits in the
cave, one. of which is called the Bottom
less Pit, but it has been sounded and
found to be not more than go feet deem.
There are several bodies of water in the
cave the most striking being the Echo
river, which is about three-fourths of a
mile long, 200 feet wide In some places.
and from ten to thirty feet deep. This
river has an underground communication
with Green river. Another river of the
cave IS the River Styx, which is spanned
by bridge about thirty feet above it
Two remarkable species of animal life
are found In the cave; a fish without
eyes and craWhsh. also destitute of
eyes The temperature of the cave
IS about 59 degrees throughout the wear
being not the least affected by the chang

other men fancy is to be found only in
a mistress, that he may seek nothing
out of home.
Attend much to his creature COM
forts; allow smoking or anything else;
for if you do not somebody else will.
Improve and educate yourself in every
way, that you may enter into his pur-
suits; and keep pace with the times that
he may not weary of you.
BE prepared to follow him at an
hours notice and rough it like a man.
DO not try to hide your affection for
him, but let him see it and feel it in
every action. Never refuse him any
thing he asks. Observe a certain amount
of delicacy before him. Keep up the
honeymoon romance, whether at home
or in the desert. At the same time, do
not make prudish bothers, which only
disgust and are not true nodesty. Do not
make the mistake of neglecting your
personal appearance, but try to look
well and dress to please his eye.
Never permit anyone to tell you any
thing about him, especially of his con-
duct with regard to other women, Never
hurt his feeling by a rude remark of
jest. Never answer when he finds fault,
and never reproach him when he is in
the wrong, especially when he tells you
of it; nor take advantage of it when you
are angry; and always keep his heart
up when he has made a failure

THE RAINRoW.

rainbow occurs when the sun or
moon, not too far above the horizon
throws it's beams upon a sheet of falling
raindrops on the opposite side Of the
heavens. Thus, ray of light from the
sun strikes a raindrop obliquefy; part
OF it is reflected at the surface of the
drop, the rest, passing into the drop, IS
refracted; on the other side of the drop
part the ray passes through and the
rest is again refIected OH passing FROM
the drop on the same side that il entered,
a second refraction occurs. These sue
cessiVe reflections and refractions sepa-
rate the ray of white light into its COM
ponent colored rays, and as the angles CT
incidence and emergence vary for each
color, the eye of spectators perce1Ves
them as distinct bands Now, every drop
in the sheet of falling water which has
equal obiiquity to the spectators eye, Will
send to it rays of the same color. But,
the only drops which can fulfill tf'ssc
conditions of like obliquity of reelected
rays, are those which define the base uI
q cone whose apex is the eye, and the
center of whose base is in a right line,
passing through the sun and the eye of
the spectator. A rainbow can only be
seen when the spectator stands between
it and the sun: its center must always
be directly opposite the sun, moving with
the SUMS motion. falling if the sun il
rising, and rising if the sun is declining.
At or near sunset. when the sun and
the observer are in the same horizontal
plane, the bow will be seen to form a
complete semi-circle: when the SUD Is
higher in the Sky, a smaller arch is seem
the entire circle could only be visible to
a spectator on the top OF a very high
and narrow mountain peak, which Gle
waited his plane much above that of the
suns rays. but did not cut off their light.
A complete circle may also sometimes
be seen in the rainbow formed by the
sunlight on the spray arising from cata-
racts. When the sheet of falling drops is
large. and the sunlight very bright, the
double rainbow is seen. When the sun is
observed by fine rain or foS the rainbow
proper is replaced by a bow formed by
the reflection and interferences of light
from these zine particles of water This
bow is, of course, without the colors. a
lunar rainbow is also coIorlesss.

WONDERS OF MIXTURE. / r Hv,s1 s sS
THE MIRAGE.


The cause of the mirage is extremely
simple 1t is merely the difference in
density of contiguous strata of the at
mosphere. 1t usually occurs when from
any cause, as the radiation of heat from
the earth, the stra tum of air lying near
the surface of the earth III any LOCALITY,
is rendered less dense than the stratum
above it. In this case rays of light from
a distant object situated in the denSef
mediun-that is, little above the earth s
surface-will strike the rarer surface at
q very obtuse angle, and be reflected
backward Thus if a spectator is stu
ated an eminence and looking at
distant object in the same stratum OF air,
he will see the object by directly trans
mitted rays, and, besides this, rays from
the object will be reflected from the up
per surface of the rarer stratum OF air
beneath. The image produced will be be-
low the real object and inverted. In GER
tain states of the. "a tmoSphere only part
of the rays are reflected ond thus two
images are formed one by refraction and
one by reflection, the first erect, the
second inverted Sometimes, objects that
are distant and beyond the range of VS.
ion because of the curved surface of the
earth, are made visible; this is simply
caused by the refraction of the at
mosphere
The mirage of the desert, which takes
the appearance of a lake or sheet of
water is the reflection of the sky or
cloud. As the refecting surface is lrreS-
ular and constantly varies its position,
owing TO the, continual communication
of heat to the upper stratum, the reflect
ed image will be constantly varying, and
present the appearance Of water ruff
fled by wind This form of mirage will
often deceive experienced travellers.
mirage frequently seen in the straits OF
Messina. is known as the 'Fata Nor
CANA Another remarkable instance of
mirage is the Spectre Of the Brocken.'
Rema rkable instances are also on record
as seen on the Baltic coast and in the
! Arctic regions. Though only common in.
certain localities, the mirage may appear
anywhere where conditions are favorable
