Steel, mans most useful metal, made
its appearance In the form Of swords

Now we employ it for the skeletons
Of skyscrapers and steamships.
Petroleum was first employed as

Best Wcy to Use Phone

Telephone companies for many years
have reiterated the advice that users
should talk directly into the transmit
ter, but recent tests have for the first
time set forth in concrete terms the re-
suit of disobeying the injunction. 1t
was found that to talk with the lips
six inches from the transmitter was
equivalent to inserting another 200
miles of line between the speaker and
the listener. The best results were
obtained. the tests disclosed. when the
mouth was only one-haR inch from the
transmitter and facing directly into it,
thus avoiding detection Of sound

OUR LARGEST CAVE

In 1881 a man passing over hole IN |
the ground had his hat shot off by q
sudden gust of air. History fails 70
record how far he ran or how fast.
When he stopped and recovered his
senses he told others Of this unexpect-
I'd and exciting experience. A party
accompanied him back to the spot and
Wind Cave, one of the wonders Of our
West, a few miles north Of the town
Of Hot Springs in the southwestern
corner of South Dakota, was dis
covered.
Although not all Of this cave has
been as yet explored, that portion
which has been trOd by man comprises
larger area than that coupled by any
other known cave In America. The eK-
pIored portion comprises about one
hundred miles Of passageways and sew
eral hundred rooms or chambers. No
outlet has been discovered; therefore,
the end is as much q mystery a. ever.
Aside from an occasional tElckis
down some wall, there Is an unusual
absence OF water IN this cave. The
temperature is a pleasant medium 40
caves go, neither too warm nor teo
cold. A peculiar feature which scien-
lists seem unable to solve to their
satisfaction Is that OF the shifting Of
the movements Of air through this
cave. At times the trend Of the air
at the entrance is outward and then
again It is inward.
While It is anticipated that ulti-
mately many different routes through
this underground cavern will be avail
able to visltors,s three only have been
opened up to this time. The longest
Of these routes includes some seventy
five rooms and about six hours are re-
quired to make the circuit.
The names bequeathed to the vari-
GUS chambers or rooms are characters
tic Of the predominating feature Of
each. There's the Post once, where
most visitors endeavor to find wall
space for their cards; the Brides
Chamber, the Garden Of Eden, Dante'a
Inferno, the Opera House, the Cross
Roads, the Fair Grounds and so on
These rooms differ widely both as &
size and formation. The Fair Grounds
Is reputed to be the worlds largest
underground cavern, being upwards Of
an acre In extent.
These rooms are arranged Ia parable
tiers and are also stacked In layers
This latter arrangement on so vast 9
scale as here in evidence IL decidedly
unusual in cave architecture. The Ions
and short OF 1t is that this cave takes
on resemblance to an eight-stOry an
dergrOund Office building.
This cave was created a national
park in 1903 and is open to tourists
throughout the year.
