at no distant date the scene of an i'm
mense subterranean waterfall.
Proceeding along one or two pas
sages n couple of large chambers are
traversed, after which, passing dis
lance of some 200 feet, two more cham
bers, filled with beautiful stalactites,
are entered. Beyond here the cave
opens out into what may be termed
an immense natural tunnel, at least
300 feet in length and in places 100 feet
in height and so feet In width. The
side walls are vertical and the roof
semicircular, the whole on account Of
the smooth and true surfaces every
where presented bearing the appear
ance Of having been chiseled out by
man. Atthis point he work of explora-
ton has ceased for the presnt.
The second passage, running from the
bottom Of the shaft, although not very
extensive, contains some interesting
stalagmitic basinlike growths, which
have formed in series. OF terraces on
the lower portions of the walls and
floor and, as would appear TO be very
frequently the case, each row of
basins Is filled with pure water, which,
dripping into the next series, and so
on till il reaches the lower depths,
presents a pretty sight.
Another cave formation in the same
neighborhood has also been partially
explored. 1t is entered through an
opening in the face Of the rock. about
200 feet above the base, the entrance,
from 20 TO 40 feet in height and averag-
ing ten feet in width, extending dis
lance OF nearly 1000 feet. From the
same landing a rough, craggy chasm
and water extend easterly nearly 200
feet, the roof being at the height OF
from 30 10 100 feet. Here are TO be
seen myriads Of stalactites OF all
shapes, several being over ten feet in
length For a distance of 900 feet
there is series OF drops of from four
TO five feet each, until descent of 60
feet necessitates the use OF rope. An
other watercourse joins here. Stall
actites are still observable on all sides.
The height OF this portion varies from
40 feet to 100 feet and the width is 40
feet.
Descending another drop Of 20 feet
and travelling in northerly direction
600 feet, with n continuous downward
slope, the most spacious and beautiful
chamber Of the series is seen. The
height is not less than 100 feet with
width of GO feet. The aTched roof OF
the cave Is OF smooth blue limestone,
with veins of white marble running
through in every direction. There are
numerous very remarkable lunches OF
stalactites, and very large fossil, re-
sembling porcupine, is visible at
distance OF $50 feet. A. beautiful
stream Of water passes through the
cave, forming on the floor basins of
all shapes and sizes. Between 1000
and 1900 feet farther on smaller caves
are reached, giving evidence OF great
bodies of water having passed through.
About three miles from the Bungonia

L. .
While the water used in Chicago may
haze 70 be boiled, the consumersare
al least SPARED the pain OF knoying
that il is drawn off the ton Of shbma-
rine graveyard. The harbor OF Duluth,
on the contrary, is graveyard TO all
intents and purposes and lacks moth
ing but monuments and receiving
vaults TO make IL complete, says the
Chicago Tribune.
Owing to the extreme eoldncss OF
Lake Superior the bodies of persons
who are drowned there or who are
thrown in sink Immediately 10 the bot
tom and never rise. Over 500 dead lie in
this submarine graveyard within one
mile OF the Duluth lighthouse. In Du-
luth, besides those drowned in the har-
Dor itself, the bocies of those who are
drowned in the river are carried out
by the current into the lake, and sink
TO the bottom in the deep water. Nor
are they long without sepulcher. The
sands gradually cover them, the aston
of the water rounds of the little
mounds where they lie, and there, Sc
curely tombed, they await the final
trumpet.
Sam Wilson, Of Cleveland, one Of the
best known divers on the lakes, says
that in the harbor of every great city
built on cold water the same conditions
exist. He says that often at n depth
Of 60 or 20 feet he has encountered the
mounds which mark the last resting
place of some unfortunate victim OF
the water.
The lower end of Lake Michigan has
water Of a much lower temperature
than that Of Lake Superior. and the
bodies of the dead rise 10 the surface
and are carried by the waves and de-
posted on the beach. James Mark
ham. OF the chief Of policies Office, says
the best proof that dead bodies do not
lie in the lake of Chicago is that before
the drainage commissioners taught
the Chicago river to flow the other way,
sailors who have fallen from ships in
the river and drowned were carried
into the lake, and the bodies would,
after few days, be picked up along the
beach, sometimes along Lincoln park,
but more often on the South side be-
yond Twelfth street. The bodies Of
persons drowned far out in the lake
are in time washed by the waves up to
the sand along its margin. Sometimes
the bodies have been in the water so
long and buffeted about by currents
over the rough bottom Of the lake to
such an extent that only the semblance
of human form is found on the sands.
but enough TO prove the fact that Lake
Michigan Ia not graveyard, as Is Lake
Superior.

DOGS ON BATTLEFIELDS.
They Can lie successfully Taught TO
Hunt Ont and Relieve the
wounded.

Maj. Richardson, of the British
army, has succeeded in training dogs
for ambulance work, and recently ex-
a London paper.
On the first day the dogs were used
over ground entirely unknown TO
them. A bearer company of 100 men
was ordered out and number told
OFF as casualties, with directions to
hide as well as possible in the grass
and scrub over an area of about a
mile long. The dogs were let loose
10 recover the casualties.
All the casualties cen were prompt
ly recovered, although they did their
best TO evade the dogs. On the Sec
ond day a number of men were hid
in wood with a thick underground.
and the dogs were slipped outside
the wood. In short time they
found every casualty again.
Under similar circumstances search
parties would have taken very long
time TO find the men, and in some
eases would have missed them alto
gether.
The dogs used by Maj. Richardson
were two; one cross between red
setter and collie, the other hill
collie of deep tracking stock, both
possessing excellent noses. He
learned the method of training in
the German army, and imported some
OF their best dogs to train the others
by.
The degree of interest in this sub
ject in Germany is illustrated by the
fact that in "A three-day trial ut
Frankfort last July. the dogs of eight
different regiments took part, and in
the recent China expedition tho
