This historic cavern, sometimes

According to the Four-Track News,
the cave is formed by two vast slabs
Of stone meeting together at an an

broad, and the height from the floor
to the apex of the roof is about 10
feet.
The scenery about it is chaotic
Huge fragments of rock lie tumbled
together on all sides, the whole re-

some great mountain that might
have sunk into the earth during the

supposed to have thrown up the per

the west shore Of the Hudson. The
cave is called Wa~shington's, because

Of him, though this story is discredit-

COTTON MADz FIRE-PRooF.



A valuable discovery Of far-reach-
ing Importance to the cotton manu-
featuring industry has been made by
DR. " II. Perkins, of the Owens
college, Manchester, whereby cotton
and other similar highly nhammable
materials can be rendered perma-
nently freproof. The discovery,
SAYS the Scientific American, has
been achieved after 1900 expert
ments extending over many months.
With the exception of explosives,
there is no article that flares up so
quickly as cotton when it comes into
contact with a light, especially in
those particular goods which are
made Of heavy yarns and "combed
out" on both sides in order to give
the appearance Of flannel. The fire
proofng process consists Of "asbes-
timing the fabric, by which means
permanent immunity from burning
is assured, but the exact manner in
which it is achieved is not divulged.
In order to realize the full impor-
lance of the discovery, it should be
understood that "asbestine fabrics
can be washed and washed, and yet
retain their non-ignitable quality.
From this it viii beseen that the pro
cess is not that Of merely putting
upon the material a chemical thai
for the time being renders the fab
ric non-infammable, but rathertha
as in the case of "mercerizing," tn,
very character Of the material i
changed. From the scientific poin.
of view much interest attaches Il
this feature. Already inquiries ar,
coming from Germany as to tn
process, for in Europe these highl.
infammable cotton goods are largel,
produced. 1t should be added tina
"asbestined" cloths are perfectly by
gienic, and can be safely worn mex
to the skin.

A DRIVER.
Employs Novel Method to Acquaint
Horse with Automobile.


There is some talk Of a school
wherein horses may be educated out
Of their fear Of automobiles whether
this would serve or not is another
question, but here is a little instance
of what one sensible, c~onsiderate au-
tomobile driver did for the sake of a
frightened horse, says the New York
Post:
The automobile had come to a
standstill in the roadway to permit
the passage Of a small andapparently
very young horse in trotting rig at
tached to a training sulky. The mo-
tor had not been shut off, 20 the ma
chine kept chug-chug-chugging as
the horse approached. With a snort
and a leap the horse whirled to the
side Of the road, nearly throwing out
the man in the Sulky. Then the au-
tomobolist shut off the motor and
called to the driver: "Wait a mo-
ment until the animal quiets down;
then drive him up slowly while | sit
still"
This the driver did, and when the
horse was within ten or IL feet Of
the machine, his progress toward it
having been slow and fearful, the au-
tomobilist got out, took the horse by
the bride, and led him carefully up
to the car, patting the animal the
while and talking to it. "Now, look
it over, smell it, see, there's nothing
to hurt you"
For fully five minutes the horse
was permitted to inspect the ma
chine, and at last it seemed quite ac'
customed to it. After that the horse
was driven back and forth seyera'
times without evincing the slightes'
fear. The automobiles did not star
his car until the horse was almost Out
of sight.

FROM ESKIMO LANDS.
A Wounded Goose Wings It's Way to
American Soil.

A wounded Goose wings AIS way 70
American Soil.
Wild geese and brants are known
to travel, during the migratory sea-
son, very far south. Recently a
large wild goose was killed not far
from Spokane City, Wash, which had
evidently winged its way from the
remote Eskimo lands. When the
hunter picked up the bird he was
surprised to observe a slender piece
Of ivory protruding from its breast
just below one of its wings. With
much difficulty he succeeded in pull
ing out the piece, for the flesh had
grown tightly around it. It proved
to be an arrowhead, about eight
inches long, which had some queer
carvings on the stem where it had
been fastened to the shaft. The
carvings were delicate, though quite
distinct. On a careful inspection by
Klondike miners the carvings were
pronounced to be of Eskimo origin.
No arrowpoint of that kind was ever
known to have been used by the In
dams of Washington OF British Co.
lumbia. The head was of fine ivory,
no doubt carved from a walrus tusk.
Evidently the goose had been shot
by an Eskimo hunter in the arctic
regions, the wound had healed, the
flesh had grown around the weapon,
and in its long flight the bird had no
doubt broken off the arrowshaft.-

American.

Grand Duke Alexis Does Not Care for
Notorfety, However,

Grand Duke Alexis of Russia is

in his recent visit to Paris he was
wont to buy a few every day from

beside her stall, says the Boston

The woman did not know him, but
as he paid her in princely fashion
she was very anxious to find out who
he was.

neighbor one day. ''He is Grand

one Of the greatest men in Russia"
Utterly amazed, the woman asked:

your Royal Highness,' was the an
swer.
The woman resolved to do SO, and
the next day, as she was sprinkling
some salt over the smoking potatoes
which the grand duke had bought,
she said: 81 can recommend them to
your royal highness, for l know your
excellency has never tasted better
potatoes"
The grand duke burst out laugh
ing and paid more for the potatoes
than he had ever paid before, but he
was annoyed at finding himself rec
ognized and never returned to buy
another potato.

ADDITION TO TRAINS.
"The Meteor" and "The Worlds Fair
Special" to the Frisco System.

The route Of this flyer is via our old
line, through the Ozarks and Indian Ter
rltory to sapula, thence over the Red
River Division through the historic Greek
Chickasaw Nations, via Deuison and
Sherman, to Fort Worth and points
Southwest thereof; and via Sherman and
the Houston & Texas Central Rail-
road to Dallas and Beyond. The more
newly-constructed portion of the roadbed
.traversed has been heavily ballasted with
rock, laid With heavy rail, and In every
way brought fully up to the standard OF
other divisions Of the Frisco System.
The train will be made up of entirely new
equipment throughout, carrying Palace
Day Coaches, Reclining Chair Cars, Pull
man Drawing Room sleepers and
CAFE OBSERVATION CARS,
In which meals la carte will be served
at hours convenient to the traveller
This service will be under the manage
ment Of Mr.. Fred. Harvey, whose name
should be a efficient guarantee OF careful
attention to the inner mau. Just a word
about these cars: Toe dining room is To-
Gated in the forward end. The rear por-
ton Of this car is occupied by an obser'
walton saloon, and is provided with easy
chairs, writing desks and static merry, and
a library service embracing the leading
daily papers and the more popular weekly
periodicals. The train will be lighted
by electricity, and cooled bv electric fans
during the summer mouths.
TO THE TRAVELLING PUBLIC.
The Inauguration OF service OF
this character means quite as much to
its patrons as it does to the railway COM
pauy interested. II we were not sanguine
OF the success Of this train, 1t goes with
out saying thatit would never have been
established. 1t fills a long-ielt want aud
opens a new and fast developing country.
But we feel that these are not the only
factors that may reasonably be exDectto
contribute to It's success-the time is fas
the train Is a "haudy" one, as regards
hours Of arrival at aad departure from
termini; aud the equipment is ornate, ant
provided with all modern convenieuces
These features should, OF themselves,
tend to make the train popular.
We also take pleasure in announcing
material improvements in our service via
Fort Smith and Paris TO Texas and the
Southwest.
