wealth. Fortunately, the war with
England soon ended. and Mammoth
cave was saved.
Echo river is a feature of the cave
that especially attracts the scientist.
The cave is in five tiers or Stories
and at the lowest of these the river Is
reached. 1t is about 270 feet below
the surface of the earth, and comes
no one knows whence, and goes-no
one knows where. Only a small por-
ton of the river Is accessible to visit
ors, and that only during the dry sea-
son. During the heavy rains of spring
and autumn, this mysterious stream
fills to the top Of the great River
Hall, blotting out the Dead Sea and
the River Styx, which are parts of
this underground stream. It is pos
sible, under favorable conditions, to
traverse it for a half. mile in the low
fiat-bottomed boats. which ply on its
surface The acoustic properties Of
the walls rising from it, and arching
above 1t, are well-nigh perfect, and
its wonderful echoes are an unfailing
source of amusement to the merry
travellers that cross it, in constant
wonder at its teeming horde of sight
less fishes, crustaceans, leeches,
beetles and crickets. What need of
even rudimentary eyes for those
creatures, doomed to dwell in per-
petual night?

slides like great screws which the
iron cylinders inclose.
When the bags reach the bottom OF
the cylinder the first stage of their
handling is ended. From that point
they drop on to one of a number Of
continually moving endless belt con-
veyors, which travel just above the
roofs of the cars of the waiting train.
Each cylinder leads to a certain belt,
and each belt serves the trains set
on a certain track. But as all the
mail is not carried in one car, third
operation is necessary. Standing on
the platform beside the train are a
number of movable curved chutes just
long enough to reach from the con-
veyor belts to the door of the mail
car, and by means of an ingenious
automatic tripping arrangement each
pouch. as 1t reaches the point above
the car for which it is destined, falls
from the belt into the curved chute
and lands on the floor of the car.

Famous Mammoth Cave Reveals
Some New Wonders.
Violet City" Discovered In Recent
Explorations, Is So Called From
Violet Tint Of Walls Reflected
by Lights of Guides.

Louisville, Ky.-Recent exploration
has revealed new wonders in the ia
nous Mammoth cave of Kentucky,
among which is a beautiful Violet
City" and 1t is confidently expected
that further exploration now in prog
ress will result in many discoveries
of new wonders in this underground
world Of mystery. The Violet City"
is 80 called from the beautiful violet
tint of the walls rejecting the glim-
mering light carried by the. guides.
The bridal altar is another feature
which attracts much attention and be-
fore it a number of marriages have
taken place.
Mammoth cave, which is situated in
near Green river, has been one Of the
worlds 'marvels ever since its discov-
cry in 1909 by hunter who, accord
ing to tradition, pursued a wounded
bear into the yawning mouth of the
cavern. Since that time 1t has been
the mecca for tourists from all parts
of the world.
The early history of the cave is
largely concerned with the history Of
the manufacture of gunpowder This
great industry was inaugurated in
Kentucky, early in the nineteenth
century, and the War Of 1912, with its
embargo on foreign commerce, great
ly increased the Importance Of Nam

all-important product might be pro-

COSTLY HATS THROWN AWAY
Garbage Collector of Seattle, Wash,
Dumps Valuable Headgear Into
City Refuse Dump.

Seattle, Wash.-No Senegambian
satrap will stalk the jungles of the
Dark Continent with prouder grace
than will mark the carriage of several
dozen sons of Italy, engaged in the
honorable and sanitary occupation OF
transporting Seattle's garbage to the
dump-that is, If the police depart
ment fails in efforts to recover $500
worth of Panama hats that Singerman
& Sons, at Second avenue and Seneca
street, had planned to sell this spring.
Because a box that he found in the
rear of the Singerman store was light,
a scavenger jumped to the conclusion
that it contained only excelsior. He
carted 1t away and cast 1t of at the
city dump at the foot of Mercer
street, on Lake Union. Zipl Upon
the odorous heap Of refuse bounced
the box full Of expensive Panamas.
The hats remained undisturbed for
several days. Then a garbage man
with a well-developed bump Of curios-
ity directed his No. 9's against a side
of the box, crashing it in and dis
closing the headgear to view. I'm
mediately a riot ensued and the
garbage men bore down upon that
box. Within less than a minute every
hat had been appropriated. even those
that were torn in the scramble.

session of a Panama is behind the
bars, say the detectives, viii they rest

A Judicial Paradox.

The decision of the United States
supreme court in the Standard Oil case
might have been a great deal worse
than it was. 1t would have been
much worse had Justice Harlan had his
way. As it stands, the decision merely
requires the Standard Oil Co. to make
a new distribution of the stock held by
it and that means simply the employ
ment of a few additional stenographers
and bookkeepers to keep up the rec
ords. The Standard Oil Co. of New
Jersey will be dissolved and the num-
erous small concerns of which it has
obtained control must be maintained as
separate corporations. The people who
are now in control of the STANDARD Oil
Co. will doubtless continue in control
of the small corporations, and there
will be no practical difference in the
situation so far as outsiders are con-
cerned, says Cleveland Inland Grocer
and Butcher.
The complaints against the Standard
Oil Co. may be said to simmer down to
two items. One of these is that the
company has taken undue advantage of
its competitors by securing lower rates
for transportation of its goods than
could be secured by any of the smaller
concerns. The other is that the COM
pany has been in the habit of crushing
competition by selling goods at a loss
in order to drive weaker competitors
out of business. The government
maintains that railroad rates should be
as infexible as the price of postage
stamps. To that proposition no one
will object, but the governments ap-
parent contention that the action of
the Standard Oil Co. in cutting prices
to drive out competition is an offense,
while the action Of the druggists in
trying to prevent price cutting is also
an offense presents paradox which re-
minds us of the creed of a certain re-
ligious body which is rudely rhymed
thus:
"You shall and you shan't,
You will and you won't,
You II be damned if you do,
You Il be damned if you don t. !"

KATE GARRETT IS FIRST
WOMAN TO TWIST ROPE
More Light on HaRgingS in
Georgia

The Times-Recorder's story wherein
it was asserted that Miss Susan Eb-
erhardt, the white woman hanged in
the neighboring county of Webster,
was the first and only woman ever
legally hanged in Georgia, has caus-
ed the historians and old-timers to
rake over their county records.
This statement Of the Times-Re-

facts in the case the state over, but
the records show up differently.
First, Editor Lon Burton, OF Cor
dele, recalled the legal hanging of a
negro woman at Eastman twenty
eight years ago, along with four ne
gro men, the execution growing out
of the bloody race riots occurring at
Eastman
And now comes Col. A. J. Hamil, If

in Cedartown in 1852, at that time
his place Of residence.
A negro woman, Katie Garrett muir

was tried in the courts and legally
hanged for the atrocious crime Coz
Hamil, then a youth, witnessed the eX-
ecution, which took place in an old
field a mile out of town
To this day, Col Hamil says, theI
