Arthur Keith.
Caves often possess mineral formations of
great richness to the eye: onyx crystals, glis-
tening stalactites and mites, and frozen"
cascades of flowstone. Occasionally for
tunate cave searcher will come upon the rare
pisolite. or cave pearl - a small, lustrous
sphere of calcium carbonate formed by drip
ping water. In the Kentucky and Tennessee
area the gypsum on the walls produces
orchidlike flowers that crumble to dust on
being taken above ground - as though nature
had forbidden anyone to touch them. The
young people in this section often go on
rambles and picnics into privately owned
caves to see cave crystals and other forma-
tions of rainbow beauty formed in complete
darkness underground. Some caves in Ken
lucky have walls so encrusted with crystal in
certain parts that the visitor might think
himself in an ice palace. In other caves, such
as Jewel Cave in South Dakota, the crystals
imbedded in the ceiling look like stars.
Most caves are discovered accidentally

side He swung across on his rope and wormed
his way into the passage, after securing his
rope around stone.
When he crawled back to the pit, there
was his rope dangling idly on the other side -
the stone round which he had fastened it had
tumbled into the pit Hunt lay there thinking
- mainly about what a fool he was to get into
such predicament. Nobody knew where he
was. or could help him. How wonderful, he
thought, if he only had a fishpole and line -
he could easily cast over there and retrieve
his rope. Then he realized that all he needed
was line He tore his shirt and underwear
into strips, tied them together, fastened
small stone at the end. and cast it across the
pit After few tries he snarled it around the
rope and pulled it back to his side of the pit
Jim White. who explored Carlsbad years be-
fore the present comfortable trails were con-

into an abyss about 100 feet deep. when sud-
denly one foot went into water Now. in the
years White had explored Carlsbad he had
nerer seen any water, so one can imagine
his alarm. His light went out and he was
thrashing around desperately. when he dis

covered over century ago by hunter
chasing bar" into hole, and since that
time $50 miles of its passages have been
walked, crawled and wiggled through by ex-
perienced men: but the end of Mammoth
Cave has yet to be found. There are five
levels, with passages going for miles in all
directions.
And yet Mammoth and Carlsbad are caves
that have been explored more than most!
There are dozens of caves, in almost every
state. which may not be as vast or as beau
tiful, but which offer excitement to the
amateur explorer. As boy of fourteen the
writer explored mud-tilled Ohio grotto 500
feet long. with passages so narrow it was all a
boy could do to worm through. Not a glisten-
ing. snowy stalactte was to be seen in the
place; but no cave adventure since will ever
equal it for sheer excitement in seeing things
no one had seen before.
Allkinds of people explore caves: scientists,
cave guides on busmen's holidays, mountain
climbers. amateurs. In England there is a
national organization devoted to caving,

One Kentucky cave was found by young
woman picking blackberries When she came
upon the opening in the rocks, she put fallen
branch in it and courageously climbed down to
gaze upon some of the most beautiful stalac
tites in the state. A Shenandoah Valley cave
was found by cowpuncher. Jim White, who
was attracted by what seemed to be smoke
issuing from the mountainside. The smoke
turned out to be three million bats going out
to forage at dusk. A New York cavern was
discovered years ago by a farmer who found
out that his COW. chewing her cud in the sum-
mer sun, was comfortably cooled by current
of air blowing out of some rocks.
In the cave itself, the main hazards are
the failure of lighting equipment, breaking
ropes, getting lost, rising water and settling
rocks. Caves differ greatly in the difficulties
they offer, and caving is only as hazardous as
one wants to make it. The people who get
killed are usually those who know nothing
about caves.
The air in most caves is very pure, cool but
not cold. and varies only slightly in tenn
peratue the year round. Taking advantage
of this fact, Virginia cave owner air
conditioned his home by constructing an air
duct direct from the cavern to his house.
Most cavers do not depend on flashlights.
They carry kerosene lamp, extra fuel if
needed, plenty of candles and waterproofed
matches - enough to last them for three
times as many hours as they expect to be in
darkness Also, few sandwiches and bottle
of water usually come in handy.
A hundred feet of rope will do for most
American caves. And when you secure a rope
to stone, be sure the stone itself is solid.
Schuyler Hunt, able Kentucky guide, once
let himself down rope into pit in Mammoth
Cave and was resting on a narrow ledge about
fifty feet from the bottom. when he noticed

PERSONS hand will drive your panic away.
There are two kinds of caves, wild" and
tame"
The commercial caves and those admins
tered by the government in our national parks
you can walk through in perfect comfort and
safety. About half our national parks have
unusual and interesting caves. Many of these
as we'll as many of the privately owned
cavems - are skillfully illuminated, and the
language of the guides is Informative and occa-
sionally amusing. Here you can appreciate
what nature as an artist can do with a little
calcium carbonate, plain water and ten mil
lion years. But for people interested in adven-
tre, the unexplored cave offers thrills. Men
of sterner stuff like to see what no one else has
seen before. They prefer to explore the
wild" caves.
This is not difficult. In the Guadalupe
mountains of New Mexico and Texas are a
hundred of the grandest cavens in the world.
In the partly explored Carlsbad cavern there
is one room high enough to hold thirty-story
building. One group Of trained men spent
five months exploring Carlsbad and still had
barely begun. Thirty-6ve miles of its passages
have now been searched, but there are several
lower levels that are still unvisited. Just how
many miles they bore into the earth, or what
these "caverns measureless to man" may be
like, no one knows.

z ENCING is merely a matter Of
getting your point across.
There are many kinds of fencing.
Most people prefer the kind that sur
rounds country estate.
Poised on his toes, keen fencer
sizes up his opponent, which ex-
plains why experienced haberdash-
ers should make good swordsmen.
In fencing, there are foils, epee
and saber. The great difference be-
tween them is shown by the fact
that you can slice bread only with
the saber. Old sabers, with plenty
of hicks in them, start easier
through the crust.
A swordsman will sometimes
throw caution to the winds and at
tack his opponent wildly Anyone
at the funeral who can fence will
tell you that such tactics are con-
sidered poor form.
