GREAT SALTPETRE CAVE
IN ROCKCASTLE

In his interesting article i'll the
Sunday Leader of Jan. Is. Pro-
! lessor A. NJ. Miller, head of the
eology Department of University
Of Kentucky, notes: "The pee
cary skull described by DIR. Brown
as coming from cave on Crook
ed creek in what was Madison
county, but now Rockcastle coun-
ty. was evidently obtained in tho
cause of salt-pctre operations
carried on in that cave The
cave to which Professor Miller
refers has been known for over a
century as the "Grcat Saltpctrc
Cave" which is located eight
miles cast of Mt. Vernon and
four miles northeast OF Pine Hill
station on the Louisville & Nash
vile railroad and the Dixie Boone
highway, says Col. Jim Maret,
the Boone Wayman. Large
quantities Of saltpctrc were man
ufacturcd here during the war Of
1872. The cave extends entirely
through the spur of the mountain
or Big Hill" over half a mile. 1t
was discovered by John Baker,
who, in company with his wife.
commenced exploring it with a
torchlight. At distance OF
about three hundred yards. their
light went out. and they were
forced to crawl about in perfect
darkness for forty hours before
they found the place at which
they entered.
The arch is from ten to twenty
feet high. Large rooms several
hundred wards long. branch off.
and the end Of one has never been
reached. Some of the rooms
cover all area Of several acres
The saltpetre manufactured here
before and during the war OF 1912
gave employment to sixty or Soy
.entv laborcrs. There is a fine.
bold runnin" stream Of water in

structcd inside for the manufac-
turc OF saltpetrc by torchlieht.

some of these caves to the extent
Of three miles without finding an
end. This cave was discovered
near the bcginnin" of the nine
tccnth century. and for nearly
half a century thereafter it was
quite a resort for tourists and
sightscers. On the completion
of Boone Way. in 1921. it is pro-
posed to improve a tllrce-mile

THE JEWELS IN WATCHES.
Hard Substance is Needed to Stand
Constant Fiction.

The principal reason for the deterior-
alton of any piece of machinery is be-
cause the constant friction wears away
the moving parts and interferes with
the regularity of the mechanism. A
watch, being a machine in which alb
solute uniformity OF speed Is essential,
il is necessary to reduce this friction
10 a minimum-either through con-
slant oiling. the use of ball bears or
some other hard material which will
withstand the wear and tear of the
constant friction. The first two of
these methods are not feasible in 80
small a piece of machinery as a watch,
so certain very hard jewels are placed
at various points to counteract the
rubbing caused by the moving parts.
Watches are generally equipped with
seven. Is. IL. is, p or % jewels, the
Is and IL jewel types being the most
popular Intrinsieally, the jewels used
in the manufacture of watches are of
little value, but from the standpoint
Of sevice and the specific purpose which
they serve they are invaluable The
Jewels usually used in matchmaking
are the hardest Of the precious stones,
diamonds. sapphircs and rubies. and
OF these the most generally used is the
sapphire. which combines hardness
with comparatively reasonable price

WAREHAM SCENE OF

on White Woman

Wareham, Mass, Aug. lS.-The pc

Reading Character.

DR.. Nichalas Murray Butler, the fla
nous educationalist, said at a dinner
in Brooklyn;
People talk lot of nonsense about
telling character by the walk, by the
handwriting. etc. Now there's one way
you can really tell character and that
is by putting moral questions to school
children.
II remember a sehoolboy who an
swered one of these moral question
back in 1880 in such a manner as to
convince me that he would become a
realistic novelist. Well? that boy is a
realistic novelist, and good one today.
If boy sold pair of broken
mates and him was this:
"' If a boy sold pair of broken
skates, and he knew they were broken
while the buyer did not, what would
you think of the transaction"
ITO this question the realistic vove,
list in embryo wrote out the following
reply:
The boy was unfair he was cheat
and thief, and would run away happy
and buy some cigarettes or maybe a
box of mixtures Brooklyn Eagle.
