over the contest.

Carlsbad, N. M, Feb. 13.-(AP)-
At shutdown each evening the air
around the entrance to Carlsbad
Cavern is black with flying bats.
It has been estimated that more
than 100000 Of the sinister flying
mammals leave the cavern each
night, and return again before sum
rise.
It was this sight that led to the
discovery Of the great cavern q
years ago by Jim White, Texas cow.
boy, who has since devoted much
time to exploring its depths. For
more than three hours, at an esti-
mated rate of 10000 minute, the
bats pour from the cavern entrance.
In the cavern, which has been
made a national monument, 81
miles of underground passages have
been charted, with the end not in
sight. Trails descend more than
700 feet. One room is 625 feet
wide, 358 feet high and a half-mile
long. One stalagmite is So feet
high and Is feet in diameter. It is
estimated that a gigantic crystal
line dome has grown only three feet

mains at IS degrees, winter and
