wonderful Grotto Found.

II. II. Ewers, with the help of picks
ropes and a ladder forty feet long, has
succeeded in reaching from the sea
grotto in the precipice near the Arco
Naturale at Capri. The grotto was
known to exist, but was considered in
accessible.
Mr.. Ewers has named it the Marvel
Gus Grotto, and it is wonderfully beau
tiful. On climbing into its entrance
the bottom was found to be level for
about 100 yards, and then to rise gently
for another 200 yards. The maximum
breadth of the grotto is fifty yards. and
the maximum height 100 yards. Won.
derful stalacites and stalagmites meet
the eye on every side.
In the centre there is the appearance
of a round green lake, bordered with
yellow buttercups and gold-brCwn wall
flowers. The grotto receives its light
from below. and the turquoise reaec-
ton from the sea has the same effect
as in the Blue GrottO. but then
changes, as it passes Upward, into an
emerald green and ends in the deepest
cerulean blue. One group Of stalac-
tites is perfectly rose colored, while
others are marble white, cinnamon
colored or black Brooklyn Eagle.
