CAVE CITY. Ky, Feb. 1f--Surm oun :
ing Serious obstacles and overcoming
large falls. il now remains question
Of cubic yards and time until Floyd
Collins rescue party expects 10 reach
the void which will lead directly to him
said an official bulletin issued this
morning. However. as it requr res one
hour TO remove one cubic yard Of ma
terial. immediate results in reach Col
Inns must not be expected, the bulletin
said.
The official statement, timed a. NJ.
and given out at s a. m. by IL. 7. Car
michael. VI. f. S. Posay and General
H. H Denhardt, follows:
Results in the lateral heading last
night are very encouraging and at a
q stance Of II feet from the main shaft
an attempt Is being made to break
through the limestone roof and drift
vertically into the avenue, the existence
Of which is determined fro:l the core
drill log
Much trouble was encountered dur
ing the last few feet Of the heading and
falls we're numerous, but il is being
we'll timbered and is considered safe.
Indications are sand will be found
in the avenue which will facilitate work
but progress from this time forward
will necessarily be slow as material must
be relayed in narrow passage from
man to man to the bucket j nthe main
shaft" 1t is thought that the avenue
referred to above is an extension or
branch of the original Sand Cave chan
mel in which Collins is, and it is thought
dat the rescuing parties cannot be
more than ten feet from him.
However, as conditions are such as
to require one hour to transport one
cubic yard of material from the face
of the heading to the bucket shaft, i'm
mediate results in reaching Collins must
not be expected.
lit is felt that the most serious of
obstacles have been surm ounted and
that it is now only question of cubic
yards ana time until Collins is reached

Turtles as Pets
Threaten to Vim

British Oiuners Declare
Usefulness in Garden
Pays for Care.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 21-The turtle as
household pet here is threatening the
canary, the cat and poodle. Nearly
every household in London has d
turtal or two in his back yard, or
garden" as it is called in England.
Turtles this summer have been sold
by haWkers, in the markets and in
many stores which formerly confined
themselves to goldfish. birds and dogs.
The price has been from six pence up
to three and four shillings, according
to size. 1t has been estimated by deal
ers that within the last few weeks
There have been approximately 0,000
turtles brought to England for Med
iterranean ports while London has
received numerous other supplies from
the continent.
Most gardeners in the city and SUI
burbS have turtles in their allotments,
the theory being that they consume
the SnailS and other pests which do
harm to tender, growing plants. Tur-
tie faddiSts contend that turtles are
most grateful creatures for any kind
nesses, and that they are very faith
full pets so long as person is kind to
them. After being released in a gar
den and given a few draughtS of
sweetened water at first, the turtle
makes himself perfectly at home,
among the vegetables and flowers, and
will seldom stray beyond his own con-
fines even though there is no fence.
Strawberries shipped from London
to the provinces in one day recently
weighed 120 tons.

MUSICAL COMEDY FAILS
TO IMPRESS CUBANS

of the Associated Press.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
HAVANA, August 4.-EXperiences
of several American musical comedy
companies here this year have
proved that the field for English
language artists in Cuba is very
limited One company came from
New York with a contract for four
weeks and other guarantees. After
playing to slender houses for two
weeks, the theater manager inform
ed the company that there was not
enough money in the treasury to pay
salaries. Efforts to collect expenses
also failed. The entire company of
1S was stranded and unable to get
funds. The American Club staged a
benefit at which nearly $500 was
raised and local theater was
donated rent free for one night.
Two other companies were more
fortunate. They had enough money
on hand 20 pay their hotel bills and
steamship passages home.

Wild Life Plentiful.

THE Navy planes are not alone in
the air. Great fiocks of glaucous
gulls. or big burgomasters' as they
are called, the kingbirds of the Arc
tic, sweep along the faces of the verti-
cal black cliffs-bold, strong and Wig
orous birds, battlers with the wind
and snow. The redlegged sea pigeons,
stormy petrels of the North, circle
over the open water, unmindful of
violent winds, stormy seas, driving
snow and freezing slush. And, of
course, there is the little aug, or dove
kie, the true representative of bird
life in the Arctic and the darling of
the Eskimos. The eggs of these birds
form an important item in the food
supply. while their flesh is considered
a great delicacy.
Along the ice-foot. the shelf left
by the receding tide, seals sun them
selves, while far up in the hills, musk
oxen, deer, wolves, and Arctic foxes
and hare are numerous. Life for those
at Cape Hubbard is by no means
monotonous.

ming or not. a second necessity
brought out by the flight is for the
Improvement of the system of giving
radio bearings. Although such bear
ings were received by the PN-9 No. l
before her fuel was exha uSted she was
unable to locate the sending ship. On
the positive side, the speaker said. the
flight demonstrated that it not only is
feasible to fly from San Francisco TO
Hawaii, but that it should soon be
possible to fly entirely across the Pa
cific with stops at certain islands from
1000 to 1000 miles apart.
The successful landing at night Of
the Pms No. 3, sister ship Of the more
famous plane, with a full load. in
rough sea, was an important accom-
plishment in itself, Comdr. Rodgers as
serted. Previous types Of heavy planes

shattered by the impact, he said
