FORT RILEY FILMS FINISHED
Remarkable Army Pictures Inspected
by Gov. Hodges and Staff

Fort Riley, August -(specia1.)-The
experiments that Chaplain Dickson Of the
United States army has been conducting.
the last two months in placing the army
on moving picture films has been pro-
nounced success in every respect.
Tonight Governor Hodges ana his starr
and practically every officer and soldier
at the post saw the projection of econ
feet of film that was shown for their in
spection and criticism. The consensus OF
opinion was that the films were the finest
military pictures that have ever been pro-
duced. The photography was perfect and
the scenes went on the screen with AL
most the same pleasure to the eye that a
person would view a scene in nature
The first on the screen was a battery of
horse artillery approaching a freight
train for the purpose of loading e1ns
and munitonss Strong, well developed
artillerymen swung from their horses and
ran field guns up the ramps and on to the
flat cars with perfect discipline
Soldiers saw themselves as they dashed

How Onyx Is Formed
They have been OF interest only to
the scientists as illustrating the Won
derful workings of nature, who takes
no heed of time in her task. Rain
water passing through the atmos-
phere and through the soil becomes
charged with carbonic acid, which en-
ables II to disintegrate limestone.
Thus caverns are formed. But after
nature has made cave she begins
another process. which in time results
in partly refilling the cavity. Water
pereolating through the fissure and
bearing carbonate of lime in solution
remains suspended from the roof long
enough to deposit a portion of the
lime in a ring around the outer mar
gin of the rock. AS time passes this
ring becomes tube, growing from the
lower end. The end of tile tube gradu-
ally closes and the growth is entirely
on the outside Thus stalactites are
formed A portion of these drops OF
water falls and the process which took
place on the roof is repeated on the
floor. The resulting stalagmite be-
gins its process and in due course pill
lars are formed when the two meet.
In time tie entire cave may be re-
filed by lime refined and crystallized.

Reports Made by
Biologists
BY f. +. OSBORN

The discovery of onyx in Alabama
is worthy of moro than passing inter-
est, as adding another item of wealth
to the immense mineral riches of the
state. The find occurred in Ta1ladega
county, near the little station of Ky
mulga, and has already drawn the at
tention of investors of immense re-
sources.
A great cavern. 1000 feet In length,
averaging 100 feet in width and 65
feet in depth has been discovered to
contain beautiful and valuable onyx
in quantities which cannot yet be esti-
mated. The writer a few days since
visited the cavern and ceased to Won
der at the glowing reports already
made. The mountain in which the
cavern is located. is a short distance
from the "Blue RIDGE of Clay county,
but Is isolated from the other ridges
An easy grade leads up to the mouth
of the cavern, the opening heing half
way to the top OF the mountain. Once
inside, even by the ineffective light
of gasoline flares, the effect is stu
pendous. Stalagmites of great size
and curious form rear themselves on
every side, while from the roof the
pendant stalaclites hang in giant
clusters Some of these are 40 and so
feet in length. while one which has
fallen reaches the remarkable length
of 100 feet. Smoke from the torches
of countless sightseers has blackened
the walls and the roof until all are
blended in one dull hue. but a sharp
blow from a hammer reveals a sur

The big guns were wheeled into posi-
tion as quickly as though they were de-
pended on TO check the oncoming charge
of a foe. The reeoil of the cannon showed
that the men were firing genuine shrap-
mel, and not sham battle blanks.
At times the camera was so close to the
cannon that every detail of the recoil
of the service charge could be seen the
same as in the field. Into action, out of
action, through the woods, stringing
wires, and across bitches, rushed the red

which contains great boulders of solid
onyx.
The writer spent several hours in
the cave and in company with Allen w.
Mathis explored it as far as possible
Some of the stalatites are of such
lenght and breadth that slabs of onyx
10 feet long can be secured. But the
strangest feature of the formation is
the fact that at the entrance to the
cavern fissure reveals several feet
of onyx underneath the soil of the
mountain, and exposures which have
been made of the rock higher up in
dicate that the entire mountain Is a
mass of onyx. broken at intervals by
blue dolomite.
Estimates on Value
Some of the experts have attempted
to place value upon the deposit and
to estimate the amount of onyx in
sight. They agree that in the main
room there Is no less than 10000 cars
of stone in sight and that the value
of the onyx Will reach many millions.

some faint idea of the immensity of the
