Wonders of Cavern

Stalactites grow from the ceiling,
which at many points was from 300
to 500 feet above the floor, while
stalagmites grow from the floor and
helectites. a curious plant-like for
nation, usually grows from the walls
and ceiling. Giant stalagmites are
called "dOmes" and column" re-
suits where a stalagmite and stalac-
title have met and welded into one.
All these are formed by the constant
seepage of limestone laden water
through the ceiling.

been appropriately named. Rock OF

briefly, explaining that we were u

about the rock he asked everyone to
be quiet for 80 seconds while they
put out the lights and left us in total
darkness for the first time in our
lives. The lights went out and pres

began to come on from the distant
recesses of the cave until the entire

and its setting.
Artistic Lighting System.
The cavern has a unique lighting
system. Throughout the seven miles
of pathway now open to tourists, not
single bulb or reflector is visible
to mar the originality of nature. The
! lights are all arranged behind little
piles of stone or underneath trans
lucent onyx slabs and the result is
a maze of weird shadows and reveal
ing lights. The power plant on the
surface has power to light the entire
cavern at one time but the park serv-
ice has chosen to divide it into small

Fine for Short w Weighting
Food in Sales.

The largest fine to be assessed
against any of the five merchants ar
rested some time ago on charges of
defrauding persons on relief rolls by
short weights in food purchases was
levied Wednesday in Police Court by
Judge Gus A. Schuldt against Ellis
Levy who conducts a meat market in
the 1900 block of Seventh street.
Levy was sentenced to pay a fine of
$3.50 or serve 80 days in jail and was
unable at the time to pay his fine.
Although he was on bond when he ap-
peared in court, he was led. to the
prisoners dock after sentence was pro-
nounced.
The sentence was upon the recon-
mendation of Assistant Corporation

stated that the reason for the heavy
fine asked was because Levy previously
had been arrested on a like charge.
None of the other defendants was
fined more than S100.
