visit to this cave Is certainly n
unique and wonderful experience. No
where else can II be duplicated. The
interior is n maze of domes, pits. halls,
chambers. pillars. temples, cascades.
caverns. crevasses, stalactites and
stalagnites, carved stone and other
characteristic and peculiar phenomena
and fairyllke forms fashionable In
cave architecture. There are lakes and
rivers In it--one can boatrldc on the
Echo river for half mile. The lofty
limestone roof, 60 feet high In places,
ard the bnttlemented shores reflect
and magnify every sound.
The Giants Coffin Is the largest rock
In the cave. II Is 1S feet thick, ~ feet
long and weighs 1000 tons. Mammoth
Dome. the largest and most impressive
of many, Is $50 feet high. Many varie-
ties of animal life are found. including
eyeless Ash and blind crawt.sh. The
mir Is good and the temperature even
about "a degrees. There are several
routes through the cave. the longest re

THE GALVESTON SEA WALL.

GALVESTON has the finest harbor
" on the gulf coast and ranks high
ms n city of delightful homes. Although
not u resort. the semitropical climate
attracts thousands of tourists annual
ly to her long. gradually sloping beach.
To prevent recurrence of the ter
rible food of 1900. the sea wall-One
of the sights of the country--was con-
structed along the gulf side OF the
city. This great wall In 30. 4O3 feet
long. II feet high, 10 feet wide at the
bottom and five feet wide on top. II
Is built of concrete and granite and
rests on foundation Of piling. These
piles are 40 feet long. not less than IL
inches In diameter at the small end.
four rows wide. set four feet apart.
The top OF the wall IL used for walk.
TO prevent water from the gulf
flowing behind the wall and flooding
the city during severe storms, the
grade of large portion OF the city
was raised from to II feet. This ne
cessitated the raising Of about 1900
buildings and the REIMBURSEMENT OF
streets, sidewalks. street car tracks,
electric lights, water and gas pipes to
the new level.
The filling-ln material was taken
from the bay. The dredges. after
pumping their holds full. steamed ny
canal behind the wall and discharged
their load through pipe lines leading
down the various streets. When the
work was completed the canal was
filed. The magnitude Of this under
taking Is unparalleled In America.

awarded to italy IL would be negg-

costs OF reproduction OF the roads as
OF, July /. 1914 for the W. r. and E.,
and December 80. 1916, for the Capt.
tai Traction. At these dates the ex-
perts Of the Commission and the COM
panies had both submitted their esti-
mates Of the reproduction and his
torieal costs. and few figures. have
been submitted since then except as
to capital expenditures added by
authority OF the commission.
The commission states clearly that
1t has given weight to both historical
and reproduction costs.
The commission has refused to ac-
eept the claims Of the roads that the
should be based on physical
