THE CAVE OF GHOSTS.
This Is One of the Wonder Places OF
New South Wales.

This Is One of the Wonder Places of
New South Wales.
One of the curiosities of Oakley
creek, n S. W., is q cave which very
few people care To enter. 1t is of the
usual order of stalactite and stalag-
mite shapes and figures, but in order
to get inside it the visitor must crouch
down and squeeze himself through a
narrow opening and grope his way in
the inky darkness for a few yards till
he can stand erect and light torch.
As soon as he has done this he sees
family the weird shapes assumed by
the water dripping from the limestone
and he hears whirring noise. He
feels inclined to make his exit ut once,
but he hears something moving all
round him. and presently something
touches him.
He concludes that there are uncanny
spirits about, and this sensation is null
tiplied many times in intensity when
on turning TO retrace his steps he finds
himself confronted by a tall, ghostly
figure.
Ii the visitor has Il strong nerve or
has been forewarned, which is not al
ways the case, he recognizes that the
ghoStly figure is senseless block form
ed by the dripping from the limestone,
and that the moving creatures are
bats.
There is one part of the cave which
no man has dared to explore. 1t is
called the blowhole. One adventurous
visitor was about to squeeze himself
through this narrow aperture when it
occurred to him TO throw Il stone
through. He did So. listening for the
stone to touch bottom, and the dull
sound that finally reached him con-
WINGED him that there was sheer
drop Of 200 feet on the other side of
The blOwholc.

BAKED APPLES.
The Way to Make 81 COnyenient and

Delicious DesSSt.
The difference between apple sauce
Etcwed quickly over the fire AID that
baked slowly for several hours in Il
moderate oven is so great that one
could easily believe that different fruits
had been used. Each method. if care
fully followed, produces Il delicious re-
suit, and, while some persons have Il
strong preference for one or the other,
TO my mind il is difficult to decide
which is the better way. Therefore it
is we'll to use both methods, cooking
the first apples that come in midsum-
ner by stewing, and later, when the
cool days of early autumn make a fire
less objectionable, trying the baking.
The dish for baking is as important
AZ that for beans baked properly and
also for Indian puddings, and should be
the same in style and material. Cut

fruit. The amount will vary with diff
ferent apples, and 1t is important not
to use too much sugar, for the long
cooking seems TO develop the natural
sweetness of the fruit. Cover them
closely and cook in a slow oven four
or five hours or until they have deep
rich red color. If they cook too fast,
the steam will cause them to burst and
run over the edge and result in Il
nushy sauce, but moderate heat,
long continued, will leave each quarter
distinct in the clear strip. Let it cool
in the pan and turn it out without any
stirring of the fruit. This may be
poured at once into sterilized jars and
sealed the same as canned fruit, if you
are not likely to Use it all soon. AS
sauce for breakfast or dinner 1t is
acceptable: with cream and hot biscuit
for supper it is delicious, and as fill
