SOLDIERS FIX SCHEME TO
SEE PARK
Pay Their Railroad Fare, While Your
Uncle Sam Helps Them on
the Way.

A battalion of soldiers has made a new
move.
A battalion of the Nineteenth infantry
of regular United States troops has be-
come imbued with the idea that it would
like to see Yellowstone park, and,
through it's captain, E. S. Walton, has
arranged with the War department that
the trip might be made, provided the sol
diers paid their own railroad fare.
The regiment is stationed at Fort Nc
Kensie, near Sheridan, Wyo., and IT'S
troopers have arranged to buy their own
tickets from Sheridan to Gardiner, Mont.
From Gardiner they will march through
Yellowstone park and come out at this
n of the park at Cody, where they will
again board a train to return to Sheri-
dan.
This is a most unique trip and Uncle
Sam will make provisions for the trip
on condition that the soldiers pay their
own railroad fare.

DANCING HALLS IN MINES.
The salt Pits Of Calicia and Their
Wonders


The salt mines st Northwieh contain
some wonderful novelties in the way Of
unique apartments cut in pure salt,
but the most interesting salt mines III
the world are at Wieiczka, IN Galieia-
Here is to be seen the most extraordi.
nary collection Of streets, houses,
churches and monuments, some Of which
are a thousand years old.
st. Anthony's chapel. one Of the fin
est pieces of work III the mine was
hewn By miner some two hundred
years ago out OF a massive block Of
rock salt. The altar has twisted col-
umns, and carved PRAYING monks kneel
on the steps, over the altar being a
huge cricifx and statue Of the Virgin,
while In the various chapels are to be
found affairs.
Besides the one mentioned there Is
another smaller chapel IN the mines,
named st. Cunegund. which WIS only
opened in 1896 and is now used regu-
larly for public worship. The chapel is
reached BY descent Of fortY-sig steps
cut in solid salt. 1t Is $50 feet long,
forty feet broad and thirty feet high.
The altar, statues, pulpit and chande-
Tiers are all OF salt.
The next important apartment Is the
great dancing hall, which is hung with
chandeliers carved from crystal salt III
1884 in honor Of the visit Of the Gar
Of Russia to the mines. The effect Of
the light glistening on the brilliant
crystals resembles more q gorgeous
court scene than the interior Of q mine.
Another famous hall is the Michalowce
which is s4 feet long, 81 feet wide aud
los feet high, with colossal chandelier
seven feet in diameter, containing two
hundred candles. Passing through 9th
err beautiful halls one reaches the Crown
Prince Rudolph Grotto, where the
lights and white carvings are reelected
in the water Of an underground lake.
From the centre Of the water rises q
statue Of rock salt, surrounded BY fir
trees and stalaetites.
The mines form an oval twenty two
miles IN lengths and half mile in cen
tra width. The aggregate length Of
the galleries at present accessible is mp
