Wind cave has been In a controversy
for a number Of years. The location
was claimed by two different parties.
one as a homestead and the other as a
mineral location. The secretary of the
interior took the matter up finally and
decided that neither party should have
a valid claim to the ground or to the
cave, and a decision was made that
placed the great wonder in the hands
of the government
The cave was first discovered by a
cowboy In 1884. While riding through
a small gulch he noticed a very strong
rush of wind; through q hole in the
! ground. He investigated and found
that there was a chamber Of consider
able size near the surface. Each year
since that time the development of the
cave has been progressing until at the
present time there are over 100 miles
OF passageways, 5000 chambers and
eight different levels.
The cave Is but ten miles from Hot
Springs, a famous resort, and thou
sands Of tourists visit it every season.
Hereafter it viii be in the hands of the
government and guides will be furnish
ed free of charge. All the different lev
els will be mapped out and diagrams
furnished Of the chambers and pas
sageways.

Development of the ROOF Garden.
The roof garden owes it's existence to
American ingenuity. There is nothing
quite like it in Europe, and Meth
London nor Paris is abreast of Ne
York in this most delightful Of amuse-
ment places. Improved iron and steel
construction as known in this country
has not been introduced abroad, and
yN3fn it is the danger Of fire In the
gheat cities with the old fashioned
buildings will forbid the construction
OF roof gardens. The roof garden has
thrived and developed in New York,
modifying its character to suit the va
riable conditions which have sprung
up Of climate and of patronage. It has
at last become a feature Of metropoli-
tan life almost Indispensable to those
who stay in town during the heated
terms It is doing much, moreover, TO
reconcile many persons with life in the
city in summer, although hitherto they
have found the seashore or the noun

scented by a happy benedict to his wife
on the occasion Of the baptism of their

credit of having started the fashion,

to be correct it ought to be set with
