dirt They dug it up in the caverns,
brought it out in sacks, loaded it into OK
carts and carried it to boilers, where tie
concentrated liquor was run through hop
pers filled with wood ashes, boiled a second
time and then cooled in wooden troughs.
The bottoms Of these troGghs would be COW
cred with crystals of potassium nitrate, and
when the liquor was drawn off they were
scraped out and the crystals were packed
for transportation to powder factories in
the east. The yield was about four pounds
of nitrate to the bushel of peter dirt and
in the early days of the last century ii was
boosted that Mammoth Cave alone could
supply the whole world with saltpeter. DIR.
Hovey asserts that the Americans would
have been beaten in the war of 1912 if it
had not been for the nitrate supplied by the
caves of Edmonson county, KY, at a time
when our powder manufactures were cut
off from foreign sources of supplY.

Animal Onyx.

Another cave contains vast quantities of
what have been called animal onyx be-
cause no matter how it may be subdivided
the exposed surface will always show the
outlines of some animal. The same sample
cut in different directions will show differ
ent animals. Col. G. A. Park of Louisville
has sample which. when originally OBJ
tanned, was ornamented with an outline
sketch of a quadruped which some of his
friends declared to be a horse and others a
mule. But the only difference of opinion
was as to detail. A slice half an inch thick
was cut off and disclosed the picture of an
Arab sheik in robe and turban with almost
Photographic exactness, and when the Piece
was turned over tie man was transformed
into a woman. No matter how many slices
are detached. a different object appears
whenever a new surface is exposed.
Nobody has ever attempted to quarry this
beautiful substance. So far as known the
onyx and alabaster of the cave district have
never been utilized for practicai purposes
But as have said an eastern syndicate
proposes to take advantage of this new. and
great source of wealth. Years ago and for
generations the soil of the caves, which 10

Mammoth Cave Out of Fashion.

Mammoth Cave has gone out of fashion
as resort and as place for excursionists
to visit. Bridal couples go there no longer
and, indeed, there are very few visitors eX-
cept foreigners. During the last summer
the patronage was greater than for several
previous years, because of the large number
of foreigners of scientific tastes who at
tended the St. Louis exposition and did not
want to go home without seeing Mammoth
Cave and Niagara Falls. The high charges
and the primitive accommodations keep
people away. To reach Mammoth Cave one
leaves the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road at Glasgow Junction and rides over a
line of nine miles. 1t belongs to the owners
of the cave. They charge at the rate of
81 cents a mile, fact which seems to have
escaped the attention of the railway COM
missioners of Kentucky and the President
interest in railway rates elsewhere.
The present hotel was built in 1914 The
central part of it is the old saltpeter works
remodeled, to which the cabins of the
miners have been connected by passages
and surrounded with verandas. The lack
of enterprise is said to be due to the fact
that the property is tied up in an estate of
the late Major Croghan who bought the
property in 1892. The trustees representing
the heirs are Major A. S. Nicholson, a re
tired army officer, who lives on street,
and A. T. Jannin, who lives on Lafayette
square, in Washington; Judge William L.
Wyatt of New York city, Captain Augustus

No More stomach Troubles.

All stomach trouble is removed by the use
of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. 1t gives the stom-
ach perfect rest by digesting what you eat
without the stomacll's aid. The food builds
up the body, the rest restores the stomach to
health. You don't have TO diet yourself when
taking Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. J. d. Erskine,
Of Allenville, Mich, says, 81 suffered Heart
burn and Stomach trouble for some time.
Ny sister-in-law has had the same trouble
and was not able to eat for six weeks. She
