which have come to wonder, study and
admire, scientists, explorers and tour

Here the mysterious workings of
nature have produced a veritable I'M

passageways lined with an infinite
variety Of curious, gigantic and won
derful formations. Almost every
object Of nature seems to be repro
duced with surprising reality. The in-
describably fantastic groupings OF
the weird and grotesque formations,
the beauty and the colOring Of the
titanic tapestry effects and the trans
lucent and symmetrical arrangement
appear to be the handiwork Of nature
in a playful mood.
One chamber measures almost 400
feet In length by 125 feet In width.
Others possess lofty, arched and elab-
orately Ornamented domes. A most
marvellous formation bears strong re-
