MARVELLOUS CAVERN
FOUND IN THE TYROL
Cave Contains Chambers $50 Feet
Broad and 100 Feet High.

Berlin, Feb. 5.--News just received
here from the Tyrol reports the discovery
of the most remarkable ice cavern IN
Europe by an expedition OF the salzb,irg
section Of the Society for Cave Research.
IL lies in the Taennen-tebirgr, - mountain
range south of Salzburg and on the edge of
the Salzkammcrgiit The party passed
nearly two full DAYS in the cave without
e,haustine It's wonders In lis wsnderings
through the cavern II passed high ice
walls and many magnificent ice figures
At one point II had TO fight It's way IN the
teeth Of a bowling cave storm, a fact which
would indicate far greater dimensions ot
the cave than are vet known.
Later the disroverers came into great
cathedral like chambers which were fully
$50 feet broad in places and l60 feet high,
and they found subterranean glaciers
more than 500 yards IN length. They pro-
cecded some kilometers into the cavern
without reaching It's end Their measure
niepts indicate that the cave Is much
grcAter than any other ice cave IN Europe
IN size and beauty of ice formations IT
eclipses by far the famous Giants Cave
under the Dachstein Mountain
A later expedition went into the cave
and followed the course of suhtef-
ranean river for two and half kilomcters,
when its further progress was barred ltv
debris that had fallen from the roof The
river had an average width of about 81
feet, and the vault over II WAS about 6l
feet high. The ice formations extend for
about one mile In length.
