EXPLORED FIVE MILES.

OF the few who have entered the cave in the
interests Of science or as amateur discoverers
ere Victor Moulder, OF Smiths Grove. and A. L.
Burke, Of Missouri, who. in August of 1899 ex-
plored the cavern for distance of five miles
the place as follows
Its mouth is at the head Of a small valley
through which a stream Of clear, cold water
flows from the entrance TO the cave. Above the
mouth is q 50-foot cliff which slopes gradually
!nto the high hills beyond. For distance OF
two hundred yards, through muddy and irregu-
Jar passages, the explorer is compelled 10 walk
in q STOPPING posture. After covering that
distance, however, the walls Of the channel
deepen and widen. opening gradually into an
Immense chamber.
From this chamber three avenues lead off in
many directions The central avenue leads
directly east and is Of the greatest interest TO
underground explorers. In traversing this route
all the difficulties Of cavern exploring are en-
countered. One is forced TO squeeze through hs
suTes- climb rugged starways. cross deep
gUlcnes, descend perillOuS cliffs and swing over
perpendicular walls at a ropes end. But il is
not until one comes to a narrow channel three
miles from the mouth OF the cave that he begins
20 waver in his determination TO push
Here a strong current of cold air is met and
heavy clothing is needed. This channel is barely
large enough for man TO pass through without
uncomfortable squeezing and is twenty-five
Yards IN length Its passage Is worth while, Tor
from il one enters an immense chamber, the
temperature OF which is at the freezing point in
August
This is the ice chamber. In the centre Of this
vast refrigerator huge banks Of ice rise 10 meet
gigantic icicles suspended from the roof. The
light of the torch carries lights up the great
chamber dimly and is reflected from millions Of
crystals on every hand. In one direction huge
blocks OF ice, broken particles Of ice stalacttes,
are stre~n on tne moor among the Ice stalag-
mites which formed beneath them. In other
parts Of the room stalactite columns. fully
hundred feet in length, rise from the ice covered
floor TO the roof, lost in the darkness above.
Except for an occasional streak Of sand in
side the ice blocks. II is as clear crystal and
pure water filtered through layers of sand,

Death is broken only by an occasional drip from
ice stalactite to an ice Stalagmite. In one
place We observed the body of a bat frozen in
the ice feet. It probably had strayed In
there from its own abode in another part OF the
cave and had died OF the cold. It is likely that
many bats might be found imprisoned in the ice,
where perhaps their bodies have been incased
soT centuries. and it is reasonably certain that
no decomposition could be seen, the preservative
powers of the cold and even temperature being
50 well known they are.

Thief Caught in Store.

James Duncan, colOred, was caught
in Smith store, hid under the show
window, last Saturday night. He had
made three successful trips but at last
went to jail. He was seen in the store
on Dec. 10Th. just before closing time.
When Mr.. Smith came BIZ * to the
store, the back door was open, and
about S2.4o in money was gone. 1t
was supposed that the proprietor had
forgotten to shut the back door, and
money. He made it a rule to be very
careful about closing the doors after
that night. On January sth, or the
following Saturday night, James Dun
can was in the store just before clos
ing time. 1t was locked up carefully,
but on Sunday it was found that the
back door was open again. On Mon
day MIR. Smith examined the windows,
doors, locks and the floor, both up
stairs and downstairs. That night he
fixed every door and window so that
he could tell If any one came in and
where he came in. just as he was
closing up, James Duncan was in the
store, but disappeared. Everything
was closed and Mr.. Smith went home
Next morning he found the door open
again. He then knew very well that
he was locking someone up in the
store, SO he decided TO keep it Sc
cret and look every night before he
left the store. So, Saturday night
Feb. 2, 1907, he caught the thief.
He phoned to police headquarters
and very soon Sergeant Evans and
Policeman Gregory came to take
charge of him. Some say rogues are
studying while honest men are asleep
but Mr.. Smith studied many night
to devise means to catch this rogue.

The Limit OF Life.

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion that
the generally accepted limitation OF
human life is many years below the
attainment possible with the advanced
knowledge OF which the race is now
possessed. The critical period, that
determines its duration, seems to BID
between so and 90 years; the prop&
care OF the body during this decade
cannot be too strongly urged; careless
ness then being fatal to longevity.
Natures best helper after so is Electric
Bitters, the scientific tonic medicine
that revitalizes every organ Of the
body. Guarnteed by all druggists.
