IMMENSE CAVERNS.
Underground Passages Are Being Ex'
pored and Discoveries Expected.

San Antonio, Texas, Sept. l3.-D1s-
covery of immense caverns just north
os San Antonio, not far from the San
Antonio-Austin turnpike, reyives the
thrilling stories of early buccaneers
and highway robbers who in pioneer
days operated in this country.
These caverns are supposed to be
united by underground passages and
are being explored Entrances though
marrow and concealed lead back to
great caverns cathedral like in size
and hung with beautiful stalactikes.
The exploration of these cayerns Is
rather a dangerous one and is proceed
ing with a great deal of caution. 1t
appears however, that they reach back
miles in extent. AS this Is limestone
country similar to that OF Mammoth
Cave, Kentucky, it seems that there
will be some remarkable underground
discoveries.
Wild stories are floating around
the countryside to the efefct that
there is chamber one one OF
these caverns filled with gold and
other treasure accumulated by the
old robbers. The deathbed confes'
sion OF one of these galloping men
of the road is still handed around,
and a number of venturesome spir-
its are spending their days in
treasure hunting.
The principal cavern is known to
have been used by party of high
waymen who called themselves Los
Quebrantahuesos" which translated
means The Vultures" and the cav
ern still goes by that name
The owner of this great cave is
a well known business man of San
Antonio who proposes to make prac-
tical use OF it by stringing it with
electric lights and having guides
show visitors through it at so
much a head Unlike most Texas
caves this one has no bats or snakes
in 1t.

DOING AWAY WITH STAINS
In the Case of C0lored Fabrics ~ Is
Fest to Leave II to Pro.
fesslonais.

While there t-e simple home rene.
dies for stains that are apt to be sue
cessful it is the wisest and most eco
nomical plan in the end to take the
soiled garment at once to profess
slonal. In some cases the experiment
Ing at home results In the ruin of the
entire garment. This is especially
true in regard to colored fabrics.
White goods may be safely treated
at home. but In the case of colored
materials o;e has not only to consid-
er the nature of the stain. but also
the color of the goods The stain may
be obliterated by certain applications.
but frequently the color comes away
also or changes TO another tone. The
original color may be restored nv an
application of a solution of one part
of ammonia in twenty parts of water
Should this fail try ether or chloro-
form, keeping away from the fire
during the process. If the stain re-
fuses to respond there is nothing to
do but to consult a professional, but
he will charge more than he would
had the fresh stain been brought to
him
