ODD POWER OF STALACTITES
Walls Of English Limestone Cavern
Reverberate to the Beating Of
Explorers Heart.

O. F. D. Long of Caius college, Cam
bridge, and York, has made a thor.
0ugh exploration of the Stump Cross
range of limestone caverns near Dry
gill, on the high road between Pate
ley Bridge and Grassington. He
carried out his underground journey
during the night, and alone.
One notable feature of Mr.. Longs
later discovery is the bell-like notes
Of pure musical tone given out by the
vibration Of stalactites on being
gently struck. In. one cavern the
colors of the stalactites ranged from
yellow to red, and grayish blue, sug
costing iron and lead impregnation,
and some were of the purest white.
ALL were translucent.
Another feature was series of
grottoes, where the walls reverberated
to the beat of the explorers heart,
producing the effect of a huge stethn
scope.
The vertical extent Of the caverDs
from the entrance to the deepest poiIi
reached was between two hundred aru
three hundred feet, and the lineal ex
tent, allowing for the many branch
lngs and spirally decending loops, was
probably not far short of q mile.

Found Nearsiohtedness a Boon

Most persons pity sufferers OF my
opia, which is blurring of the vision
through nearsightedness. But one Vie
time of the affliction, theatergoer,
says his nearsightedness Is a distinct
advantage.
Being a lover Of beauty, when 60
to the theater 1 like to see loveliness
all about me-" he said. Now, you
know that one of the disappointing
things you can look at is makeup at
close range. Yet We all like to sit
close enough to. the stage to hear
clearly.
Through my nearsightedness the
garishness Of the paint is softened and
{ see only a becoming glow on the
cheeks Of the players. When my
friends have told me Of unbeautifui
things which they have seen upon the
stage l have felt grateful that my
eyes are slightly dulled by myopia."--

Natures Wonderful Work.

A pair Of rats will have 100 young
ones In year, and as the young can
breed at the age Of four months, the
family, including children and grand
children, would number, IL unchecked
2,012 in a year. 1t seems that nature
first invented ways of letting animals
multiply rapidly and then, becoming
frightened of her handiwork, devised
means for keeping them in check.
But these figures are as nothing when
we turn to the lower walks of life.
Professor Lorande observed one family
OF tiny microscopic creatures for five
years. These minute things multiply
by the simple process of splitting up
INTO two complete living parts, and they
do 1t once every sixteen hours.
During the five years the family pro-
duced millions Of generations. Had all
survived their combined mass would
have been 10000 times rs big as that
1t the earth.

Natural Curiosity.

A natural curiosity is the 'Devil's
Well' in Washington, 35 miles north OF
Spokane. This well is cylindrical
some natural agency in solid basalt
rock on a mountain top. The water
level varies according to atmospheric
conditions, the average being about sc
feet below the mouth of the we'll. The
swirling water with logs floating on Its
surface is said to inspire feeling OF
awe as one stands at the brink and
looks along the smooth, sheer walls
into its blue depths.

MEN YOU MAY MARRY
BY z. r. PEYSER

Has a Man Like This Proposed
to Your
Symptoms: All the ladies
have a hungry look as he enters
wearing a self-selling smile; men
sneer at his coming. He is 6 feet
5 tall in his own mind, but only
feet 6 by standard time. He
has great assurance, never talks
to anyone very long. He has d.
gested the most exacting books
on etiquette. His conversation
Is popped with foreign phrases
and social gossip, and he plays
the piano any time he gets the
slightest suggestion. He is the
human zoos ideal-the lion
among the ladies.
IN FACT
He Is the king of tanned beasts.
Prescription for his bride:
d Compare him daily and

that he need not go out for glory.
