horns are still there as evidence In a
perfect state Of preservation. There
are hooks and corners down there, he
says, where an army Of men could
hide themselves, and unless one knew
just where to look he would never find
an entrance.
It Is believed there Is large stream
OF water running through all Of the
caves in that vicinity. A ranchman
says that Honey creek comes through
the caves and offers proof by showing
the large springs which gush out Of the
mountain side just above Turner's
falls on Honey creek. These falls are
widely known as the Little Niagara"
of the Chickasaw nation, and are Wis
tied by thousands Of people every year.
The spring Is believed to be the king
cure-all and Indians have made 1t
their health resort for many years.
Thomas Grant, cattleman and far
mer, who lives with q mile Of the
old fort,. says caves abound in that
part Of the country, and mentions one
midway between Elk. and Foreman,
small inland towns, that can be seen
from the wagon road. It Is on the
very top of a big hill in the prairie
and few feet down 1t widens out into
one vast cavern. From all appear
ances It must be a wonderful place.
The cave Is known as dead mans
hole" from the fact that some years
ago the remains of a man were found
there who had been murdered. The
cave is well ventilated and perfectly
dry as far as 1t has been explored.

Mysteries of Steel and Iron.

Although the steel and iron indus
try is one Of the mightiest of the
world, and offers such rewards that
some of the greatest chemists and
other scientists study nothing else.
there are lots Of apparently simple
puzzles about 1t that no one has been
able to solve yet. The man who dis
covers the right answer to one or two
of them may make a million dollars
out Of it.
Every one who handles steel knows
that 1t gets tired" at times. After
piece Of steel has been subjected to
severe strain for a certain period. 1t
may suddenly show a decided weak
ness. Then the experts say that 1t Is
tired; and so 1t Is. for it Is allowed
to rest awhile. 1t regains its old
strength.
Recently 1t has been found that a
steel beam can be made stronger by
increasing the load on 1t gradually
in other words, by exercising 1t just
as a man exercises his muscles when
he wishes to make them stronger.
Very often new steel will not pass
tests that it should pass, but after
few weeks it is found that 1t has
grown better and passes the tests
beautifully. Then. again. steel that
was perfect when it was tested often
gets "sick" 1t cracks or becomes brit
tie, although other steel made at the
same time in the some way remains
perfectly sound. No man knows today
why these things happen; but lots
of people are trying to find out.

Then there is nothing left me but to

"Oh, general! What will history say
of the surrender Of the army In the

"Yes, l know they will say hard
things Of US. They will not understand
how we were overwhelmed by num-
