old sailor, was let down into the cave
as far as the rope would reach. He,
however, was unable to even make Il

made and tourist parties from Harvard
and other colleges have visited the cave
at various times in attempts to solve its
intricacies and explore its wonderful
features. Finally, series of stairways
were erected by which exploration was
made more practicable. The caverns
were found to consist of large number
of separate rooms and apartments, some
of them very large, and connected by
passages. Enormous stalactites and
stalagmites are found, and there are a
great many and varied formations, some
Of them most unique. One of the i'm

WASP WAIST CONTESTS.
Curious Course Of Training In Old
& Time Girls Schools.

"A letter recently unearthed from q
trank shows that in the sixties OF the
last century principals of girls schools
thought they were fitting the girls for
eociety by urging them to retain small
waists. Accordingly they offered
prizes to the girls having the smallest
waists. The girls were put through a
course of training for reducing their
waist measure The conditions of the
contest were that the corset should
not be removed on retiring at night
ard that each pupil must be inspected
every morning to make sure she had
not loosened her corset. One Of the
persons who engaged in the contest
afterward wrote Of 1t:
