THE CAVE OF GHOSTS.
This II One of the Wonder Places OF
New south Wales.

one of the curiositics of Oakley
creek, y. s. w, is a cave which very
few people care to enter. II Is of the
usual order Of staactite and stalag-
mite shapes and figures, but in order
TO get inside ii the visitor must crouch
down and squeeze himself through a
narrow opening and grope his way in
the inky darkness for 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 n whirring noise. lie
feels inclined to make his exit at 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 lnul-
tiplled many times in intensity when
on turning to retrace his steps he finds
himself confronted by tall, ghostly
figure.
If the visitor has a strong nerve or
has been forewarned, which is not al
ways the case. he recognizes that the
ghostly figure IS n scnsclcss block form
ed by the dripping from the limestone
and that the moving creatures are
bats.
There is one part y the cave which
no man has dared to explore. 1t is
called the biowhole. one adventurous
visitor was about TO squeeze himself
through this narrow aperture when it
occurred TO him to throw stone
through. He did so, listening for the
stone To touch bottom, and the duh
sound that finally reached him con-
WINGED him that there was a sheer
drop Of 200 feet on the other side of
the blowhOle.

IL may seem strange that women
have preferences for particular ages.
An INSPECTION OF the census, however
leaves no room for doubt that certain
years are preferred and certain other
years disiiked by the members Of the
gcniler sex.
OF children fourteen years and under
the number Of boys is nearly 100000
greater than the number OF girls; at
fifteen the boys are still G,OO0 ahead OF
the girls: az sixteen the girls are GOO
the more numerous. and each year
thereafter until the twenty fourth
there is an excess Of women over men.
The favorite ages within these limits
are eighteen and twenty. There are "a.
GO more misses OF eighteen than there
are boys Of that age. and the young
ladies twenty years old exceed their
masculine companions by $1,000. At
twenty-four and twenty-five the nun.
bcrs of the two sexes are nearly equal.
Then the women begin 10 grow less
with great up.dity. The most unpop-
ular ages are thirty and forty. At the
former age there is a difference OF IS
GOO between the two sexes; at the latter
5000.
one peculiar circumstance Is that
there are more women twenty years
old than there are girls Of thirteen or
fourteen or any age up TO twenty.
This fact couclusivcly demonstrates
that twenty is q very hoa,thful age.
But II the younger ages are unhealthy.
where did the increased number who
are twenty years old come from? No
women are born that old.
only an unusually elastic theory can
account for these peculiarities with be-
coming gallantry TO the lovelicr sex

A Million or More of Deaf Mutes.

Recent estimation places the number
Of deaf mutes in the world at more
than 100000. This great number of
human beings, living a life which a
normal person cannot conceive, is des-
tined TO increase because of the tend
ency Of these people to marry persons
laboring under the same disability.
Examination OF the records of 1900
marriages Of deaf persons shows 0 per
cent Of the children to be deaf, while
only onc-tenth Of per cent of the off
spring Of an equal number of mar
riagcs Of normal persons are likely TO
be afflicted with deafness. Deaf par
onts whose relatives are not deaf run
