QUARRY BLAST
OPENS Big Cave

A large cave was discovered Satur-
day by Irwin Boyer, as he blasted part
OF his limestone quarry at Fremont,
Snyder county, twelve miles from
Selinsgrove. BY water dripping from
the ceiling for thousands of years
limestone stalagmites and staIactites
have been formed and in many inst
ances they meet and formed pretty
columns.
One unique formation is a series of
graduated stalactites receding in
length from thirty-two inches to one
foot, and by soraping stick along the
pendent harplike formation scale of
musical sounds can be produced. AT
another place well-defined profile of
human face has been made in the
rock. So marvellous are the acoustic
properties of one section of the icnlos-
ure that whisper is audible hundred
feet away.
The main cavern is 1900 feet long,
twelve to fifteen feet high and aver
ages 100 feet in width. Leading off
from this are numerous side chambers.
which have not been explored because
of the small apertures make them in
accessible Torrents of water can be
heard rushing through these inkblack
halls. and in one there seems to be a
falls over which large volume of wat
er descends with roar. Streams of
cool water wind through the main
cavern and make walking difficult.

EARLY Italian Surgery.

Benvenuto Cellini Q5o0-157D tells of
early Italian surgery. He had got a
bit OF chipped steel in his eye, $50 far
into the pupil that 1t was impossible
to get 1t out, so that was in very
great danger of losing that eye. But
the surgeon came to the rescue with
the pigeons. The surgeon, making me
lie upon my back, with a little knife
opened vein in each of their wings.
