Sharp Instructions
From Sec. Kellogg

Washington, Sept. 16.-[Pt-Secreta-
ry Kellogg tonight instructed Charge
Schoenfeld at Mexico City to make
representations to the Gales govern
ment to leave no stone unturned in ap-
pretending and Furnishing the slayers
of Jacob Rosenthal of New York.
The secretary's action came short
ly after receipt of news from Mexico
telling Of the death Of the American
at the ihands of the brigands.
1t shows that the state department
Is prepared to exert every effort to
establish responsibility for the killing
and to take firm hand in demand
ing the punishment of those guilty.
While the text of the instructions
was not made public the brief an
nouncement clearly shows that the
Washington government feels such
an offense against its national war
rants prompt action by the Mexican
authorities.
Pending further developments
state department officials refused to
forecast what additions steps might
be necessary but it was made clear
that officials here believe the Gales
government has shown good faith in
its attempt to capture the brigands
who were holding Rosenthal for ram

Sometime in the distant past, per-
haps millions of years ago, the warp
ing of the earth's crust turned on edge
the strata of the hills near Grottoes,
Virginia. This upheaval also lett
great massss of soft clay underneath
the raised strata. Then the settling
began which eventually produced the
present day cavern with its great
rooms and manifold inches and by
ways.
The vertical strata provided max
Iimum seepage OF water laden with the
compounds Of which the formations
Iare made. Thus the great vaulted
rooms, precipitous gorges, and intri-
Icate passages and inches became, after
millions of years, ornamented with
fascinating formations. Huge stalag-
mites, numberless stalactites, delicately
folded draperies, mysterious shields
and many formations defying descrip-
ton abound throughout this subter-
rancan wonderland.
The Grotto was first known as

electric lighting system was installed
which revealed more of the wonders,
but no simple lighting system could do
justice TO this majestic wonderland.
In consequence it was decided to
have the greatest underground light
ing installation ever proposed. The
scheme OF fighting was gradually
evolved. By utilizing the controlla-
bility Of modern artificial light there
was modelled highlights and shadows !;
interesting formations were silhouetted
against bright backgrounds; Stygian
darkness was capitalized here and
there; gorgeous true colors were
rought forth; and occasionally, as an
additional feast for the eyes, there was
provided delicate color effects.
But all this had to be preceded by
an elaborate, conEollabie and safe
distribution system The mile depth
