A NATURAL CURIOSITY.
A Recent Discovery In the forest
Near "Anvll Rock"

hN~@mM TnM@NAm n&~%aM@
Situated in q remote forest near
stream known as Pennington i'm
the Chickasaw Nation a discovery
has Just been made which will bear
diligent research.
About one and one half miles
southwest of the little town of
Reagan is a fiat rock covering
about an acre of land. On the
slope of this rock towards the south
is the letter G., and to the right of
this is a letter resembling an o.
Further to the right is the figure
of head and neck of human
person. Still further to the right
basin or depression in the rock
appears closely resembling coffin.
To the left of the letter G can
be found a large pillow upon which
rests massive spherical globe or
ball.
A path or trail leads from the
letter 6 to the coffin, forming two
angles, one of which makes com
plete square back to the letter G..
This rock is Of dark gray color
and the letters and other charac-
ters are of a light color, making
them plainly distinguishable and
as apparently natural as if painted
by an artist.
These characters are not cut in
the rock as might be supposed but
are raised, excepting the coffin,
and stand forth visibly to the eye.
About seventy-five yards distant
to tie right of this stands the well
known Anvil rock, a fac simile Oi
blacksmith's anvil, but in size
equal to two story building.
This rock has in the past few
years been visited by thousands Of
people, but all this time they have
been unaware that they were sc
near a Masonic Temple patterned
by the hand of Deity.

ICE PLANT
IN POTTER COUNTY.
Curious Mine That Is Warn in Win
ter and Cold in Summer-One of
Natures Strangest Freaks.

Coudersport Letter in Philadelphia Press.
About four years ago William
O'Neill, mineralogist of Pot
ter county, felt convinced that
he could find n silver lode
on the farm of John r. Dodd, To-
Gated in Sweden Valley. Consulting
with Farmer Dodd. who is also mer-
chant and at present the postmaster
at Sweden Valley, an agreement was
reached giving the prospector privilege
to begin operations. The matter was
kept II profound secret between the
only at night.
An excavation sixteen feet square
was dug through the broken rock on
the east side of the hill on Dodd's farm.
Numerous curios!.es in the form of
rock and bones We're found in the
earth which O'Neill dug out. One OF
these curiosltios is the elbow bone of
IL human being. 1t was found sixteen
feet below the point where the original
excavation began. Among other dis
coyeries made We're petritlcd pickerel
head In almost its natural shape and
size, numerous petritied CLANS, inn
prints of fern leaves and other Vegeta-
tion. all of which are now on exhibit
tion mt the ice mine.
During the summer months, within
six inches from the ton surface, chunks
of ice, mixed with the rock and scan;y
soil, We're found. Mineralogist O'Neill
found that the farther he delved into
the side of this hill during the summer
months the colder became the atmos-
phere and the hotter the weather out
side.
Less than three years ago Dodd and
Mr.. O'Neill determined to delve deem
er into the mystery, and, accordingly,
started a shaft eight feet square and
dug down seventeen feet deeper than
the original excavation. A portion Of
this work was done during the winter
months and no inconvenience was ex-
perienced in any way whatveer. During
July and August two years ago the
work was continued. and by the time
the delivers reached thirty-four feet in
all from the top of 1t became so cold
that It was impossible to remain I'm the
cave for any length of time, and the
further progress of work had to be
suspended.
During the hottest days in August
ice forms on the sides of the cave
ranging In thickness from one inch to
over four feet On the sides It clings
In punches like huge stalscttites In the

est part Of the phenomenon Is that 1t
is only during the summer that cold
prevails in this mine or that Ice FORMS
This period extends from May to Oc-
tober each year, while during the re-
manning six months not particle OF
ice can be found about the place. Re-
peated tests have been made. and 1t
has been demonstrated to the satisfac-
tion of the most skeptical that such
articles as potatoes and other Vege-
tables, as we'll as live snakes. placed
in the cavity on the evening of any eX-
tremely hot summers day and left
there during the night were taken out
the next morning frozen. Other tests
have been made with vegetables during
the coolest winter weather. They were
kept in the place for weeks at time,
and when taken out were as we'll pre-
served as though they had been stored
in the warmest cellar, thus proving
that the place is moderately warm dur
ing the coolest weather and excessively
cold during the hottest periods.
During the hottest summer day,
when the visitor steps through the out
side door, the cold current of air conf
ing from the mine turns his breath into
a dense mist At the northeast corner
of the bottom of the mine was found
a hole about six inches square, from
whence issues by far the larger portion
of the cold air current. 1t is impos-
sible to hold a lighted match or other
flame near this opening.
The general impression prevails
among scientists who have carefully
examined the place and it's surround
ings that large cave ior cavern ex-
lists underneath this Ice mine. Resi-
dents of the neishborhood assert with
positiveness that on frequent occasions
within their recollection during the
winter months they heard what at first
sounded like the rumbllngs of distant
thunder. accompanied by a mighty
roar of wind. Although this occurred
frequently many years before this
ice mine was discovered, 1t was always
considered what the inhabitants termed
winter thunder" but now they feel
satisfied that the rumbling and roar
of wind was from within the earth.
In fact, they declare of often having
been able to feel the ground on which
they stood tremble to perceptible de-
gree.
