In the Coaching" Days.

An amusing story is told of the coach
which used to run between Edinburgh

bitterly that the cushion on which he
sat was wet. 1t appears that there

the rain was pouring copiously. The

Mammoth Cave

For many years after the discovery
of Mammoth cave the entire work of
exploration was practically in the
hands of negro slaves, the property of
the man who owned the cave Some
times they would cCme TO an obstacle
that barred the passage. such rs Il
great limestone rock or yawning
crevaSse across the way. Such obsta-
cleS would often stop exploration i'll
that direction for years, though beyond
the obstruction there were likely to be
scores of beautiful chambers and many
miles of passageways. Thus it happen
ed that for years nothing was known
of that large part of the cave lying be-
yond the abyss named the BottomlesS
pit This obstruction was known for
over twenty years before it was cross
ed. Then one day in 1897 the negro
cave explorer stephen and some of his
fellows dragged to the place the trunk
of small tree, and on this rather dan
gerous bridge Stephen crawled across
the abyss. Then began the eXplora-
tiOnS that revealed one of the most
wonderful and extensive parts OF
Mammoth cave. The abyss was found
later to be $50 feet deep.

Precious Stones and Paste"

sary tests.
And the same is true rs to paste imi-
tations of all precious stones excepting
the emerald (whose beautiful green
tint cannot be exactly obtained). the
cats eye, which has peculiar tibrous
structure, and the opal. The real value
and quality of precious stones as com
pared with glass depend on their dura-
bility, their hardness. their resistance
to scratching and "dulling" of face
and edge.
Even our Anglo-SaXon ancestors
made gems of glass and paste. 1t is
only III modern times that the art of
making artificial precious stones has
reached Il degree of perfection which
so far as decorative purposes are CON
