).jr MAMMOTH CAVE.
KxblUrmtliw Effect of lu Brain* Cool
and Germless Air.
John R. 1'rccter, formerly stnte
geologist of Kentucky, wmuj ui
"The MnmE-otli Cave of Keutucky"
for The Century. Mr. Prootor says:
The entrance to Mammoth cave is
reached by descending a picturesque
pathway leading from the hotel
down the hillside over jutting moss
and fern covered limestone cliffs in-
to a beautiful glen extending from
the top of the hill down to Green
river, which is 194 feet below the
mouth of the cave and about half a
mile distant. If the weather is
warm, as we near the entranco we
step into n bracing, cool, pure air,
welling up from the cavo and Wow-
ing down the glen beneath the
stratum of lightor and warmer air.
I have stood near the entrance and
extended one hand into a tempera-
ture of 80 degrees while the other
hand was extended into a cool, flow-
ing river of air with a temperature
of about 60 degrees. The air within
the cave has a uniform temperature
summer and winter of 54 degrees.
The cave may bo said to breathe
twice a year—inhaling during the
winter and exhaling during the
summer. This breathing of the cavo
and the purity of tho air and its
freedom from germs are among tho
most interesting problems to be
studied. By what process the air in
the cave becomes sterilized regains
to be determined.
But our faithful negro f-nido has
counted the party, selected the req-
uisite number of lamps, and given
the word, and we follow him in sin-
gle file down tho rude stone steps
into tho vestibule of the cave. Turn-
ing, we look up at tho beautiful ef-
fect of daylight which wo are leav-
ing and admire the delicate cas-
cade falling from the overhanging
arch at the entranco.
Here our lamp* are lighted, and
we enter this silent, mysterious,
cliAUgeless abode of eternal night,
where the heat of summer and the
cold of winter, tho storms and thun-
ders of the outer world never pene-
trate. A few hundred yards and we
feel the peculiar sensation of emerg-
ing into expanding space. We oatch
only glimpses of white limestone
projecting out of black shadows of
the faraway walls and ceiling of an
immense, almost circular room
about 70 feet high, which our guide
proclaims the rotunda.
We note the peouliar musical ef-
fect of the human voice. Years ago
it was my good fortune to hear a
celebrated German musical sooiety
•ing in this rotunda. I went far
away in one of the great avenues
leading from here, blew out my
light and sat alone in the darknoss
and listened while the grand an-
thems rolled and reverberatod
through the lofty corridors in ma-
jestic waves of melody. I could
then appreciate the inestimable priv-
ilege of tho few who heard Jenny
Lu)d Bing here and who in the star
chamber heard a member of her
party render on his violin the pray-
er from "Der Freischutz."
When the rotunda is illuminated,
we note the perfect clearness of the
atmosphere, the freedom from dust
particles of any kind, and we soon
learn that nowhere in the cove will
even dust rise upon our shoes. We
flote also tho exhilarating effect of
the air upon the members of our
party. It is believed that tho air
has become oxygenated by chemical
process; certainly, from its purity
and dryness, it enables one to un-
dergo exercise for hours without a
sense of fatigue. Here before us is
evidence of tho wonderful dryness
of the air. The saltpeter vats erect-
ed in 1812 and the timbers which
hare remained in their present posi-
tion since then show no evidences
ofdeoay. In these vats tho saltpeter
was leaohed from the nitrous earth
abounding in the upper and middle
dry avenues and used for the manu-
facture of gunpowder.
■ The war of 1812 was fought, on
the American side, with gunpowder
made from saltpeter taken from
caves, and Mammoth cave supplied
the greater part. One wonders how,
in the absence of germs and of de-
cay, the earth becomes charged with
nitrogen. It has been claimed that
nitric acid in the atmosphere, com-
bining with the limestone, forms ni-
trate of calcium, and the disintegrat-
ed waste from the walls and ceiling
yields the great supply of nitrogen
abounding in the cave.
1 It requires a day and a half to
make the regulation journeys
through the cave; one half » day to
what is known as tho short route
and an entire day to the long or
route. But that by no means
ezhausta the objects of interest, and
one may spend days in visiting ave-
nues and chambers onfl domes not
included in the regular routes.

Her Ia4ysbip's O—ully
The count and the countess wer«
in the midst of one of their periodic-
al quarrels.
"Well, all I can say is," retorted
the countess, after her liege lord
bad frankly expressed his conviction
that he must have been either ex-
tremely intoxicated or violently in-
sane when he married ber, "I wish
to goodness I'd been a native of
Mars instead of this planet"
"In order, I suppose, that yon
might have been 'steen million miles
away from met" queried the count
"Yes, that is oae reason. Another
is that I could have had a title with-
out the humiliating necessity of be-
coming the wife of a superannuated
chimpanzee to obtaiu it."
"What do yon mean!"
"Why, stupid one, does it not fol-
low, according to all the rule* of
grammar, that if the men are called
Martians tbe women must be called
Martianesseat"
Witb a long, shuddering moan the
count fell to the floor and expired,

Smollett'* Tomb.
"What interested lue most in thi
burying ground at Leghorn," re-
marks a writer, "was the tomb of
Smollett, though I was rather pro-
voked to find it scribbled all over
with signatures and trashy remarks
of innumerable tourists who seemed
to imagine that by hooking on their
unknown names and insignificant
compositions, both in prose and
verse, they, too, might have a cbanoo
of some touch of distinction. As it
did not strike me at first that this
disfiguration of a great person's
monument is really one of the best
compliments that can be paid to his
renown, I turned to tho sexton and
impulsively promised him a reward
if he would cloar away all these im-
pertinent additions. Before I left
he had procured a buckot of water
and a bit of marble, with which ho
bad effectively restored the stone to
its original brightness. Until then
it did not occur to me that I had
missod the true point, and in thus as-
similating Smollett's tomb to those
around it hn3, in fact, lessened the
only distinction which such things
are capablo of conferring on the
memory of the dead."
Mary's Little Lamb.
Tlio one single contribution of
note that America has mado to this
never dying literature of childhood
is the true story of "Mary and Her
Little Lamb." Perhaps it is because
of its truth that it has taken such a
strong hold upon the popular fancy,
for some of the verses are crude
enough, written as they were by
young John Rollston, a boy student
at tbe same Massachusetts school at-
tended 70 years ago by Mary and
her devoted pet. But the poem was
completed long after the demise of
the sheep by Mrs. Barah Hall, a
quite celebrated author. That its ad-
mirers are legifn was shown at a
fair in Boston, as many will remem-
ber. A stocking knitted from the
woven fleeofl of tbe famous lamb
was raveled out and pieces sold,
with the autograph of Mary, then an
aged lady, attached, and so great
was the demand that $140 was thus
won for the Old South church.—
Agnes Carr Sage in Lippincott's.
The San Antonio Light is a
straight republican journal, but
it is evidently "souring" on the
colored members of that party,
judging from the following ex-
cerpt taken from its columns:
"Complaint is made and without
reason, that all the federal offices
in Hawley's district have been
filled by whites. The colored
brother should remember that he
is a source of weakness to the
party in Texas, and that if he
was attached to the Democratic
name instead of to the Repub-
lican the latter party would be
in the ascendant in this state.
Texas is Republican in policy,
but the name of "Black" attach-
ed to Republican stampedes the
voters of the state into the Dem-
ocratic ranks. This does not
argue much for the sound sense
of the Democrats of the state,
but it is as true as preaching."
The laziest man has been
found. He don't want to be an
angel, because he would have to
work his wings in flying.
It is estimated that 1,000,000
acres of forest land are used up
every year in Europe to supply
the railways with sleepers.
