Sfsnsh TFaprsr Discovers Large Cavern
IN y Claeisr.

Catacombs Of marvellous extent and
beauty exist in the living ice Of Cloud
Mountain, in northern Wyoming. They
were found by jacques Moulin, q
French trapper. Nothing like them
is known elsewhere in the Rocky,
Mountains, and the circumstances Of
their discovery form a strange story.
Cloud Mountain is lofty peak in
little. explored region OF the Big Horn
range, and near its summit, Judging
from Moulin's description. is true
glacier. His story, in substance, is
as follows:
I'm the snow near the top OF the
mountain I made dugout to live in
while I was trapping there last De.
cember. This hut was in the midst
OF great snow and ice drift that
clings to the side of the mountain. ]
was far above timber line, and to make
the wood that I brought there 60 as
far as possible I used to build my
campfire on the floor of my little cave.
One morning I awoke to find that
where the fire had been was yawn-
ing we'll, the bottom OF which I could
not see. I had been living on the roof
of huge cavern and the fire had
melted its way into the depths.
Taking long aud stout rope, /
fastened one end OF it secure near the
edge Of the hole and lowered myself
into the depths. I took with me q
pitch pine torch and ball of Irvine.
The opening rapidly became larger as
I went down, and at depth of about
forty feet stood upon the floor of q
large room. All around me were walls
o. ice, blue in color and clear as crys-
tai. Through the ice the light filtered
dimly, giving the place shadowy I'm
reality. 1t was intensely cold and !
returned to the surface for my fur
clothing.
CATER lowering myself into the
cavern again T tied the Irvine to the
end of the rope, lighted my torch and
followed the course of the opening,
which seemed to lead like long hall.
way directly toward the heart of the
mountain. The cavern became higher
the farther I went, and about $50
yards from my starting place the roof
seemed to be at least seventy five feet
above me. Here found myself in a
room from which galleries like the one
I had entered stretched away in every
direction. In width the galleries va.
ried from ten to fifty feet, and at their
Intersections great transparent col.
umns extended to the roof. The mix.
ture of the dim, white light Of the
cave and the reflections OF the torch's
flame from q thousand of glittering
surfaces was at once bewildering and
fascinating. Again and again I re-
turned to feast my eyes on the beau.
ties Of this natural ice palace. But
the cold was so great that I always
had to cut short my visits. I never
explored the other galleries, and how
far they extend I cannot guess. The
ice seems to be honeycombed by the
caverns, and yet the walls and floors
are as hard and firm, apparently, as
the mountain ITSELF"

aoa,,s Horns I,npale Wolf.

A story comes from Angouleme,
which reverses the fable Of the wolf
and the lamb.
An old woman named Sigalard was
making salad in her home, in the Com
mune Of st. Cloud, of the village OF
Chez Talbot, while her goat was graz.
ing quietly outside. Suddenly wolf
sprang upon the. goat, which, becoming
frightened, iuvoluntarily raised its
head, and the wolf was 80 effectually
iulpaled on its horns that the animals
in vain made frightful efforts each to
get rid Of the other. bleating and howl
ing In concert.
The old woman, seized with terror,
was paralyzed, but fortunately neigh
Dor passing caught the wolf by the
tail, and the woman, thus encouraged,
despatched the animal with a knife.
A curious result Of the episode is
that the goat has been a victim Of a
sort Of st. Vitus' dance ever since.
The woman was consoled by being
paid $40 for killing the wolf.-Paris

A Remarkable Collection Of Lam ps,

At tho National museum in Wash
ington there is a most interesting ex-
hibition OF lamps. The lamps are OF
all ages from the time OF the Pompeian
aud Roman lamps up to the present
day. Some OF the lamps are Of great
interest, as, for instance, the FREELY
lamp from the West Indies. The lamp
is about 1S inches. high and built in
three stories, made of wicker and
bamboo cages with little doors. The
freAies are imprisoned in this and
cared for and fed. The Japanese Ian.
terms suspended from sticks are Of
many types. Among the Chinese
lamps are those made OF bamboo,
which are used to light alleyways.
They are frequent cause of confla-
grafton. Old English horn lanterns
or Alanthorns" as we ought to call
them, would delight the heart OF the
collector OF curl $. There are also
olive oil lamps, Eskimo lamps, etc.
The collection is worthy Of consider
able study.

such company it is NO wonder theatre
goers complain of the high prices
charged Charlotte little as "Flavia"
in no way meets the requirements of the
character. Nature has not blessed her
with the physique or stateliness of a

coldly by the audience. Col ''Sapt,"
as impersonated by Charles G. Brandt,
was the redeeming member of the cast,
and the honest, bluff soldier did his
work in a way that called forth APP
plause, and stamps the actor as first

Lit is due Mr.. Vaughn CHASER to say
that he made an earnest effort and gave
a reasonably good impersonation of the
dual role as Rudolf" and the King, but
his hands, always in evidence, seemed &c
be in his way.
The presentation was not bad one
on the con rary it was very good; the
scenery was fair, and, barring the price
those attending were reasonably vel
pleased; but let us hope that when
again the public is asked for first-clas:
prices they will get first-class show.

Cremation an Ancient Practice.

/. A discovery has. been made In Shet-
land which, il it proves genuine, will
show that cremation as form Of dis
posal of the dead was practiced In the
northern isles in the remote period Of
the Stone Age. A crofter in the par
ish of Quartz, Shetland, on turning up
a mound on his croft came upon a
stone slab about eighteen inches from
the surface, and on lifting this slab
discovered stone-lined chamber, in
which were skull and bowl-shaped
vessel of stone or clay. Further in
vestigations have brought to light
more of these stone-lined chambers.
and in one Of these was a Jar. with
ashes. The ashes seem to support the
contention that the dead were dis
posed of by cremation in that age. AT
present the find" Is undergoing the
investigation of skilled authorities.
