GRAND GULF CAVERN

A GREAT CAVE THAT IS IN SOUTH WESTERN MISSOURI. Its Wraterloaa Depths Were First tlxplored bf Two Meat of Mora Thss Ordinary (an(r The ttorf ot Their I"erlloo Joaraey. Southwest Missouri Is full of strange earth formations that are called "nat ural" curiosities In spite of their uncaturalness. The earth fa full of caves and sink holes. One of the most celebrated of these Is the Grand Gulf, In Oregon county, about four miles from Koshkonong. It is a sort of canyon, in shape not unlike a horseshoe and serves the purpose of a drainage bed in the wet season for a 12 mile area of hills. The canyon Is 220 feet deep, with a natural bridge in one place and a subterranean lake and river that opens at one end. The river only exists during the wet season, for the earth at the lK)ttom of the canyon Is porous and absorbs the water. The lake, however, is full the whole year round. This cave, containing the subterranean river and lake, had never been explored to the end till the summer of 1SS.". when I"at Foley, a saloon keeper from Thayer, with a companion performed the exploit. Foley had made two trips before into the cave, but had not been able to secure a companion courageous enough to persevere in the enterprise. Each man had weakened and returned before the end of the cave was reached. On the third trip, however. Foley had with him a man of courage. The entrance to the cave is wide and deep. The bed is of broken stones, over which trickles a tiny stream of water in the dry season. A hundred feet inside the cave the entrance suddenly narrows Into a hole so small that a man must get on hands and knees to pas throu, h. Beyond this narrow hole the entrance widens into a large grotto. There Is a steep hill to climb; next ti e hill descends sharply Into a lake. To penetrate to the end of this lake it wss necessary to have a boat so small that it could be dragged through the narrow passage into the grotto. Foley and his comtNinlon built a boat of suitable size and hauled It through the narrow entrance. They took with them also a long coil of rope, a quantity of matches, some railroad lanterns and four torches with cotton wadding on the ends soaked In kerosene. The cave of course is perfectly dark. The men used their lanterns till they got tjirough the narrow place, but to their amazement the lantern flames inside the grotto slowly grew dim anil finally went out. They tried to light them again, but the sulphur of the matches would flare up only to le extinguished immediately. The reason of this was that the atmosphere was exceedingly damp and heavy. The men succeeded in lighting the four kerosene torches, and grasping one of them In each hand they made their way down the slope to the lake and stood the torches up letween the rocks. The torches smoldered like hot coals, giving out very little flame. The lmat was dragged down to the lake, the torches fastened at the prow and stern, one end of the rope tied to a bowlder aud the rest of the coil thrown In the boat. When the two men sat down In the frail craft they found the water rose to' with in three Inches of the gunwitlioi? 1 1 waa impossible to nse oars sink i6t ttppinjr the boat far enough to They' forced "th"e tfttfe fcrail mto me unkuown lake, the smoldering torches lighting up the blackness for only a few feet around them. Outside It was a warm summer day, they knew, but inside it was like a closed refrigerator, all blackness and dampness and cold. The water of the lake was ice cold, and at every few dips they had to stop and warm their hands. There was nothing to be seen on any side nothing but darkness. No sound could penetrate the cavern. If the boat should capsize as it was likely to do with the slightest disturbance they would be cramped in a minute in the cold water without a chance of help from the outside. . After a long and tedious paddling the boat's prow was suddenly buried in a bank of mud and gravel. Foley took a torch and stepped out cautiously in his rubber boots Into the mud. He found he had come to the end of the lake and that a sharply Inclined wall of rock rose before him. The saloon keeper climbed up the wall about 40 leet above the lake searching for a 'ontinuauce of the cavern. But hn i-onld find none. Apparently the cavern ended there. He returned to the boat, where his companion sat. The two men made their way across the lake and out through the narrow place in safety. They had been gone an hour, and their friends outside had begun to fear au accident bad happened to them. So far as people know, the cave in the Urand Gulf has no outlet. The Indian traditions alout the cave are that it was a subterra'nean waterway much HIE REND OF Tx-hr, .

Cheaa Mlatreaa. Mrs. Ellen E. Gilbert, wife of Mr. John W. Gilbert, who died on Monday at her home on Capitol avenue, waa not only well known in this city, but had also a wide reputation among chess players. She was the daughter of Dr. A, B. Strong, a physician of Leverett, Mass., who was also a naturalist of some repute and the author of several books on birds and flowers. After receiving a liberal education Miss Strong came to this city and taught in the South school until her marriage to Mr. Gilbert, She was best known, however, for her talent in chess, being a strong player and excelling in keen analysis She was one of the organizers of the famous Queen's Chess club wh'-.-ti flourished in this city In the sixties. She made her national reputation at the time of the correspondence tourna ment between England and America. Through the courtesy of Mr. John G. Belden. chess editor of the Hartford Times, she was invited to participate, although the only lady in the list. Mr. Belden had enough faith In her extraordinary powers to match her against Mr. Gossip of London, at that time the strongest correspondence player known. Other players feared the manager for America had made a grave mistake by pitting this unknown player with one who far outclassed her. but she came out triumphantly, winning every game and In one of them performing a before unheard of feat of announcing mate In thirty odd moves. Hartford Times. Colffnrea to Match One's Gown. In Paris Josephine dresses are having a decided vogue, and the Frenchwoman arranges her hair to harmonize with her frock. For evening wear bodices are -"ut very low. and sleeves are not worthy of the name except In theater or restaurant gowns, when they take the form of lace mittens. In consequence of this undress simplicity more care than ever Is lavished upon the hair. When madame wears a frock of Josephine style, her hair Is parted In the center just alove the forehead and waved a little, but over the ears It Is a mass of thick, short curls. Only an accomplished coiffeur can arrange this style of coiffure to perfection, but when It Is well arranged on a young and pretty bead It Is very becoming. A less trying mode Is also affected by wearers of empire frocks. The hair Is loosely waved. Just the faintest Indication of a parting appears at the left side, and little curls furnish the brow without covering It. At the back the tresses are pinned up into one or two big curls. The Wise VlraMn and Her Skirts. The young girl who looks well to the way of her wardrobe sees with some disquietude that box plaited cklrts arc cocaine In and ber dress closet Is bung with frocks with a long, seamed, closed wishes to wear, say, two of these late In the spring or again next winter, she hastens to the shop where she pur chased the material and tries to match It. Yon will need a good sized piece to remodel a skirt. Measure the long sloping breadth as far as its gores: allow three Inches for the bottom hem and a suitable turn in for the top. If the material is double width, there will be some waste material, but you can not help that, because you must have the full length for your box plaited back. Match the goods sid set this piece aside until you can spare the frock and secure the dressmaker's attention to remodel the gown. Mlaa Anthony Seea Mtsa Anthony. At the reception tendered Miss Anthony In Washington by Speaker Hen derson's wife the venerable antlsuf fragist was taken to the private art gallery and shown a fine bust portrait in oIIb of herself. Mrs. Henderson gave the commission to an artist and had the portrait paintid to present to the Corcoran Art galle..,. It represents Miss Anthony In full profile, attired in black, with lace at the throat, and about her shoulders the historic red silU shawl, which gives the picture exactly the coloring that it immhIs. It Is a fine likeness, the culy criti cism that could possibly be r ade lelng that not all the strength of her character Is In evidence. Miss Anthony looked at it with much pleasure. "Am I really as nice looking as that'i" she asked. Telling- Seereta. Every one of us has moments of a temporary enlargement of the heart when alone with some cherished friend, and often at that time and in that condition we are so far left to ourselves as to breathe forth a confidence that in days to come perhaps almost aa soon as It is spoken we would give much to have back again in our sole possession. We marvel at our own Indiscretion and lack of wisdom, with a reactionary shrinking of the heart which Is absolute physical pain. The saddest part of it is that even that experience does not always prove the successful teacher, bnt we do the same thing over again until some day the bitter enp of our Indiscreet sowing is fully reaped. Pittsburg Dispatch. Stapld Folly. A German professos brings a new count Into the indictment against long dress skirts. He condemns them as a frequent promoter of neuralgic pains brought on by a constant holding up of the dress. The height of stupid folly Is reached by wearers of these skirts when the silken petticoat beneath Is also allowed to train. The fashion Is suitable only for reception gowns when carriages are used. The thoroughly modish woman nevet thinks of wearing them on her shop ping or walking trips. To see a deli rate silk petticoat trailing on the pave ment. a heavy cloth skirt held tightly around it a little above the ankles. Is a common and most irritating sight. Sktnamllk For Hoata.

MYSTERY OF LIFE."

Coaaelone Movement May Eslat Cra la the Mineral Kiasdosa, How far down In the scale of being goes the power of conscious movement which we are accustomed to associate with animal life alone? asks The Tall Mall Gazette. Arthur Smith, In some researches which he has lately made Into the brain power of plants, thinks be has found indications of it In the vegetable world also. It is well known that plants like the daisy, which shut at night, close also during an eclipse, which looks aa if their movement was not periodical, but dependent on the will. And Arthur Smith gives us the story of a gooseberry bush which, when deprived of a sheltering garden wall, threw out a branch which made its way to a thick foliaged tree more than a yard off, although In doing so it had to climb over a barrier of bricks. It is also to be noted that chloroform and other anaesthetics have precisely the same effect npou carnivorous and other sensitive plants apparently endowed with the power of voluntary movement that they have upon the animal organization. If, therefore, the lettuce does not remove Itself from the clutch of the gardener who Is going to cut it, it may be argued that It Is merely because it cannot move quickly enough. But does not something of the same sort occur in the mineral world also? Lord Kelvin has shown that metallic wires which have lost their elasticity from continuous strain will regain it if left two or three weeks In a state of rejtose. Ami what is the mysterious force which compels certain solutions to pass from the liquid to the crystalline state which presents so many analogles with that of vegetable life? Thus there may be reason for thinking that life in some shape or another extends through the whole of nature and that even inorganic bodies may prove to be, as August Couite, following therein the Neoplatonists, thought possible, "susceptible of will and feeling. Good Effeeta of Slna;lna;. Many medical men are now recommending their patients to study singing, which Is a most salutary exercise, both by virtue of Its Influence on the emotions, on the respiratory movements aud on the development of the lungs, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Nothing letter shows the beneficial influence of singing In developing the chest and warding off lung diseases than the freedom from pulmonary affectious among professional singers. Moreover, their general health Is exceptionally gooil, and this Is probably In a large measure attributable not only to their necessarily careful plan of living, but also to the exercise of their calling. Some physicians maintain that for defective chest develop ment and in chronic heart trouble singing is an unequaled exercise. The singer should be clad so as to allow absolute freedom of the chest movements. There should be no constriction of the neck or waist. The collar should be low and ample, and If corsets are worn they should be roomy and loose. One error Into which singers, and especially amateurs, fall Is to practice too much. The length of time to be given to the exercise depends much upon the character and condition of the voice. Evils of Ntsjht Stadr. physician. "I believe ev-vSBaks-slcl&xk ilJLa. It la not so much the eipnii aud tbe eatiog tn the night and the bad associations rormed (of a high class sort possibly), but the breaking into the sleep habit. Equally bad is it for children to study in the evening. It gorges their brains with blood, and if they sleep they dream I had a little patient of 12 years who was wasted and nervous and whose dreams were filled with his problems It was a marvel and a pride to his parents that the youngster worked out hard problems In his sleep such as he failed to master when awake. But be came near his final problem. I locked up his books at 4 o'clock. He must not touch one after his supper. He must play and romp and then go to bed. He is now robust. You cannot emphasize too strongly the mischief of children's night study.' Qafnlne and Malaria. In an article by Dr. Monaco In the Atti del Lincel on the action of quinine on the parasite of malaria It Is shown that certain strengths of the drug cause the expulsion of the parasites from the red blood corpuscles when the parasites are In their second or j'.dult stage. There seems to be still s:me doubt as to the exact dose of iuin!ne which ought to be administered to effect cure of spring fever, and the amount seems to vary with the peculiarities of various patients. From these experiments, however. It would appear that the doses usually given are excessive and that a more rational dose would lie between half a gram and a gram of the blsulphate of quinine. Too strong solutions seem to cause paralysis of the parasites and to prevent their expulsion from the blood corpuscles. RUBBER NAiLS. Their Advaataajeoas tse la Sonao Uses of Work. A company of Hamburg, Germany, has just begun to manufacture what It calls hartgummi nagel (hard rubber nails), made of a variety of this substance named by the makers "ferrunite, says The Literary Digest. These are comparable In solidity to metal nails and have the advantage that they can be used In circumstances where metal would be inconvenient or would necessitate numerous precautions. They are not attacked by acids or by alkalis, do not conduct electricity and resist all magnetic influence. In tbe electric industries they are adapted for the assemblage of cases containing storage batteries, for example, and for their exterior coverings, for chemical apparatus, galvanic piles, etc. Tbe insulating coverings are less exposed to deterioration, and short circuiting Is completely avoided. Finally the fact that these "hard rubber nails" are bad conductors of electricity and that they are Insensible to magnetic attraction makes them valuable In the construction of delicate laboratory apparatus, measuring Instruments, electric switchboards, etc. No spark can result from contact between these nails and a hammer or other tool, so that their nse Is specially recommended" In the manufacture of explosives and In all places where these substances are handled. Vialhle Speech. Alexander Melville Beil explained his system of visible speech to the New York teachers of oratory and their friends in the assembly room of the Berkeley school the other night. "Any I 1tn-n!eri. iAnn1 " tw aa A n h. !

written tn tae syuiuue 01 tue neneuie. All that visible sihii.Ii wants to become popularized is age. 1 1 must come Into general use after awhile." In writing the symbols of Mr. Bell's system vowels are represented by variations of the straight line, which typifies the voice. Consonants are depicted by variations of the curve, symbolizing the tongue. Sounds, not words, are recorded, so that men of a thousand years hence will be able to ascertain through this medium not only the grammar of a language, but also the Intonation. The linguistic symbols are represented by figures on a chart, and these figures can be used In sending telegraphic messages. In the alphabet that has been compiled there are SO vowels and 4S consonants. Learning the system Is not merely practicable, but simple. Mr. Bell declares. The Invention of the alphabet was the result of many years of study on the part of philologists and scientists. International conventions were held to discuss the subject of a universal code of writing symbols, and the last one, that of 1S54, decided that It was Impossible to find a distinctive sign for every sound of speech.

Improved Medleal Iastrnateat. A Paris manufacturer has received much commendation lately In medical circles for the production of a new and Ingeniously constructed cauterizing Instrument. While formerly such appa ratus was bulky, a blowpipe or blowing bellows forming part of it, the new device Is not larger than a fountain pen and built somewhat on Its order. The scientific principle involved is the well known property of platinum to remain Incandescent after having been previously heated to glow heat, while a carburetted current of air Is directed upon Its surface. Its Incandescence rising In proportion with the strength of the air current. To work it the fountain part Is filled with ether and oper ates liko a syringe. When the point Is heated, the bead of the reservoir Is also heated for a moment the ether ex pands and through a small opening fc directed upon the platinum blade. The pressure of the jet can be gauged by the operator through pressure upon the button at the end of the rod going through the entire length of the reser voir. Although operating at a pressure of three atmospheres, the Instrument has been tested upon pressure of 15U atmospl res and more without damage to the tube. NEWS TRAVELS FAST. The Myaterlona Way la Which It Spreada Throagh aa Andiemee. "You cannot keep news, especially war news, out of any public building, be it theater, concert room- or lecture ball, no matter how deeply engrossing the entertainment may be, and from one man, who perhaps knows only one soul in the place, coming in with the news of a statesman's death, of a great victory, or what not, the whole audience of a couple of thousand people will know the news In five minutes." The gentleman who thus spoke Is one of the most experienced theatrical managers in the world, and he went on: "I could give you some most striking Instances from my own experience of what I say. I have seen a big audience convulsed with laughter at 9 o'clock, say. but through a bare whisper of a great outside calamity that circulated through tbe house with almost '-the rapidity of telegraphy, that same audi ence has been ret'ess . nni4ersany a-ravo or race and abnoltitely r,, tlve to tbe very eulminatlnjr tolot or fun on the stage. And the singular thing Is that actons who. have never left the stage have, through the medium of whispers among the band or from the stalls, known all that the original messenger of evil had to tell. "The late Uev. C. H. Spurgeon once told me that he had known this same thing precisely to occur during the course of a religious service, and when a vast congregation were on their knees. He gave me the time and place and explained how, from the whisper of a doorkeeier, a kneeling concourse of thousands knew the whole story of a national crisis in an Incredibly short time." London Tit-Bits. Thinks Thrr Need Editing-. The blue pencil apparently did not exist in olden times. We have read ten pages of Marcus Aurelius at a stretch without understanding a word of it. Epictetus is equally hard to read. Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus are philosophers without doubt, but tliey have a style that gives you a headache. Both need editing. The man with the blue pencil should get after Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus. Emerson's books also clanior for the blue pencil. Carlyle is another clumsy writer greatly in need of the blue pencil of a good editor. A wise saying is not a matter of faith. Unless yon can see it and understand it It is not a wise saying. Atchison Globe. A Trlltall. A "befo de wah" matron was teach Ing one of the little darkies on her plantation how to spell. The primer 6he used was a pictorial one. and over each word was its accompanying picture, and Polly glibly spelled "o-x, ox," and "b-o-x, box," etc. But the teacher thought that she was making too rapid progress, so she put her hand over the picture and said, "Polly, what does o-x spell?" "Ox," answered Polly nimbly. "How do you know that It spells ox, Polly V "Seed his tail," replied tbe apt Polly San Francisco Argonaut. The Better Way. "Ton ought to be a.shamed of yonrself." said Jones o his neighbor, who was an aged millionaire.

"1 guess you're right, neighbor. replied the miserly old fellow. "Now that yon have spoken of It 1 can that it is hardly the thing for a rran tn my position to do.

At the time when the war with Spain had been brought to a successful close a number of statesmen were discussing the future of the country over their cigars in Washington. At last one enthusiast exclaimed, ad dressing himself to tbe most promi nent member of the group. "In my opinion we are drifting directly toward Imperialism, and you.
