water to dispel the darkness of the
subterranean cavern, the young stu
dent dived in.
The distance between the spot
where the water disappears into the
mountain to its outlet on the other
side measures three-quarters of a
mile. For three hours friends await
ed in anxiety at the mouth of the
grotto.
Suddenly. dripping with muddy
water, dishevelled and haggard, but
with the grim smile of victory on his
features, the student was shot out
of the mountain into the arms of his
exuberant friends.
He told a remarkable story OF
courage and energy. Fighting against
the current. swimming to the vacil-
lating light of the candle, Casteret, in
many places of the grotto where the
water met with the toof of stone,
had to halt. Ignorant as to whether
the brook. which in these spots as
sumed exactly the appearance Of a
huge pipe completely filled with
rushing water. would again after a
few feet widen and the swimmer find
open air above his mead he had to
decide whether to turn back or to
chance the long swim under water.
He chose the latter.
His courage was rewarded for after
swim under water. which he
reckoned at about 20 feet, he emerged
into dry gallery about six hundred
+ feet long and quite nigh above his
head
In this grotto Casteret declared he
discovered a wonderful prehistoric
museum. Upon the walls of the cav
ern. engraved as if with sharp in
struments or painted were mysteri-
Gus characters, in a language which
Castcret had' never before seen or
heard of. Statues of clay. some of
them we'll preserved depicted ami
mails which have long since> disap-
peared from the surface OF Europe.
Two of these. that of 4 bear and
tiger which Casteret said must have
dated at least as far lack as 10000
year, We're so lifelke and we'll pre-
served. tht he was OF tile opinion that
the live animals had become petrified
with the clay of the earth in the
course of some catacl2sm.
Some of the members of the jury
argued that while the exploit of Cas-
teret from a spectacular point. OF
view did not compare with that OF
Gerbault, it had far more value from
scientific side. They were over
ruled.

Comrades Meeting

Rev. Stanley Manning, newly in
stalled superintendent Of the Cniver-
saIst churches Of Maine, was the
speaker OF the evening at ladies' mig ht
held by the Universaiist Comrades at
the Mabel Reyes Averiil parlors last
evening. There was musical pro-
gram and refreshments were served.
Mr. Manning began his duties as
superintendent of the Universalist
churches OF Maine on Feb. /. Last
Tuesday night he was formally in
stalled in his new office. He began
his speech last night with an intro
ductory talk on his Office and duties.
There are two general lines of work
for the state superintendent. In the
first place he must serve as an emer-
gency man. When q, church has DIFF
hcultics the superintendent must he
able to help settle them. one of the
most important Of these is the
choosing Of new ministers. Next he
must coordinate the work of the diff
fcrcnt EuIycraalist churches Of the
state. He must see that they coop
crate in their various Enterprises. An
example of thcs enterprises is the
Christ crusade. the OBJECT of which
IL to put the spirit Of Christ into mo-
dcrn life. including business and cdH-
cation. Hg Wen AK the church.
Mr.. Manning spoke 1T length on the
applications Of the Golden Rule. He
said that more ana nolc the Golden
Rule Is being applied Ia practical af-
fairs \ few years ago nearly every
one agreed thtt it was m impractical
irca. Now those who fail TO apply il
have to eClrrv around to find an cX-
cuse fpr themselves.
In International 1fflir men are
seeking for WAYS In which this same
rule can he applied I hey are dis
covering that the problems Os world
pace can ho solved only on tho basis
OF universal human brotherhood. This
Is another application nf the Golden
Eulc.
IN our own church the Christ cru
aad" has enlisted tn" enthusiastic
interest Of great numhcrs Of people.
Within The List few weeks state con =
fcrcnc"s Of ministers drd leading. lay
men have been held The most r"-
cent OF these was IN Augusta on

The church is depending on all Of us,
ministers and 'aymcn alike, to make
this crusade effective.
