Mammoth Cave Sights
Prof. Ostien Gives a Very Entertaining Lec
ture on Subject at Presbyterian Church.
Prof; Li A. Ostien, of the A.C. of U.,
delivered a lecture at the Presbyter
Ian chinch Friday evening on the
"Mammoth Cave". Anaudlencc that
practically II Hod tho church greeted
the speaker, and true to Tiik Hki'Uii
LU'AN' prediction, l'rof. Ostlen's re
cital of the wonders and glories of the
I woild's greatest cavern proved a rove-
I I itlun lo those present. Prof. Ostien
' eiibellislics facts with glowing lan
guage and apt simile that makes his
lecture one of exceptional pleasure.
An extensive map of llils underground
wonder added to the effectiveness of
his remarks when used as an illustra
tion. As Prof Ostien told It, ho had
spent several years In that portion or
Kentucky lllled with caves, of which
the Mammoth Is the greatest. Ten
counties literally abound In wonder
ful caverns, the limestone there being
of such a character as to be lead My
eaten away by the acids In water. lie
had spent no little time in these caves
enjoying the wonders the water had
wrought.
Mammoth cave Is one of the great
resorts of the central states, thous
ands of visitors going there yearly.and
for years tb his been operated by a
private concern that makes the most
of Its opportunity. There are two
routes through the great cave, a short
and long one, the short one being on a
i level probably ICO feet above the
Other. The real beauties are In the
lower level and longer route, which Is
about ten miles In length. From the
main route there aic countless off
shoots. Streams and Fishes.
To attempt any detail here Is folly
for every yard of that ten miles brings
to view a new wonder, and long be
fore one has icached the end of his
Journey he Is tired of looking. There
are streams of water forty and
fifty feet deep and tilled with my
raids of tlshes, some with no eyes
at all, others with ees, but
blind. The rivers are crossed on nat
ural bridges and others on pontoons
The 1 1 veis sometimes widen into lakes,
and the "Dead Sea" Is a feature.
At places theso rivers are but narrow
channels with the rock over head
scarely two feet above tin traveler's
head, then again the rooms widen and
the ceiling Is at a great height. Sands
along these waterwajsaie white and
beautiful as at the sea shore.
As the sightseer continues, he goes
through devious and toiturous ways,
there being many places where tho
long thin man has theadvantagc,thcn
again where the dumpy fellow laughs
at thin-shanks. Prof. Ostien tells of
one particular place where ical fat
people do not get through without a
strugglo and his story of how a cer
tain 1000-pound femine In a party he
was with was butted thiough this
aperaturc by a negro assistant Is rath
er amusing.
In Flowerland.
In one great room fully a mile In
length, the water has wrought won
ders on the walls. Here arc acres of
all the bea,utles of llowcr land, and
the waters have worked perfection.
Great beds of lilies, nasturtiums,
violets, pansles, pconlas are to be seen
and one need not draw on the imagin
ation to sec the remarkable similar
ity. In another great room it appears
as though one has reached the place
where all the files are propagated. Tho
walls arc naught but a solid mass of
these little pests, only they aro artifi
cial auotticr trick of nature. At
another place a wonderful echo Is
heard. The particular feature of tills
is that the echo grows louder Instead
of beginning loud and diminishing.
The acoustic properties arc so perfect
that the echo continues for an extra
ordinary time.
Wondrous Music.
Prof. Ostien told of tho wonderful
music there is In the human . voice
when pitched in song, but to those
who have never been in u great cave
and listened to music, no adequate
conception of Its beauty can be con
veyed. In the case of which he speaks
thoslngers were fully a mile away, and
the music- that came Moating on the
air sounded nothing '.ess than scrahpic
The linest operatic clfortson tho stago
sink Into significance omoarccl with
the result obtained from the ordinary
singing oice In a great cave, tills the
result of the wonderful acoustic prop
forties of tin cavein, or course. In a
great room In Mammoth concerts art
given to hundreds of vlsltoisou special
occasions.
A feature of pellicular interest are
the dangerous pitfalls on either side of
the trail one follows. Headed by the
guide who Is continually sounding the
warning, "danger lo the right", "dan
ger to the left," the visitor passes
near great clillsand holes In the rock
from a hundred to thice hundred feet
deep. Caiclcssncss might precipitate
one to these depths, and the excite
ment lends no little pleasure lo the
trip. Occasionally d.irlng Individuals
are let down Into these places b
means of lopes, and It is repotted that
passage ways lead out from the bot
tom of these cavities Many of them
have been explored but hundreds liaxc
not.
Meals Furnisheb.
A great hotel at the entrance of the
cave furnishes the vlsltois with meals
and at 1 o'clock a great dinner Is set v
cd in a special room of tho cave, which
the visitors always reach at that time.
It must be remembered that parties
go Into tho cave about li o'clock in the
morning and arc hungry by 1 o'clock.
Tho servants from tho hotel go by a
shorter loutc and have the big dinner,
with spring chicken accompaniment
read for the guests. Tho only objec
tion here is that a great white cricket
abounds In such numbers that one can
scarcely keep them away
The journey to the end of tho long,
tunnel In not less than ten miles and
pretty hardvllmblng most of the way.
The return to the entrance qj the cave
can be made In a slightly shorter dis
tance and In much less time, for the
reason that one doesn't stop to look,
but by the time the mouth of the ca
vern is reached it Is usually late in tho
afternoon.
Never Get Tired.
A matter of particular interest Is
that In tills cave and other big ones is
that one never gets tired. The oxygen
and ozone in the cave makes it possi
ble for the weakest woman to travel
the eighteen or twenty miles in per
fect case. The average person who
gels tired In walking four blocks never
notices the slightest fatigue while in
tlie cave. Hi(t when one gets out
thcic is u difference. It must be re
membered that the average tempera
ture in the cave is about 55 degrees
above, and that It Is dark, so Intensely
dark when tho lights arc out that
great chunks of blackness can be cut
out and placed In the pocket. On
reaching tho entrance the air Is so
heavy as to be stilling and the sun
light Is yellow. One must approach
the entrance very slowly so as to get
accustomed tu the temperature and
the quality of the air. and that tho
eyes may become accustomed to the
sunlight. Then the fatigue Is felt.
Not (Infrequently the weaker vessels
must bo carried to a place of rest.
A Great Trip.
A triD thiough Mammoth must be
a most novel and never-to-be-forgotten
experience, but a visit to any great
cave Is well worth the. while. The
writer lias visited Marengo- cave,
southern Indiana, one that is scarcely
more than two or three miles In ex
tent, yet lllled with wonders incon
ceivable. No water Is there, except
that which drips from the walls but
stalagmites and stalactites In won
drous beauty are there. The "Lean
ing Tower of Pisa" Is a perfect repro
duction; "Nature's Music llox" Is a
long row of thin projections from tho
celling resembling elephant's cars.
Each of these lias adllicrcnt tone, and
a genius can play a fair tune there; a
great mass of stalagmite and stal
actlte when lighted with colored
lights resembles In a remarkable way
the pictures of old Jerusalem. One
writes his name on a great white
stone with thousands of others al
ready written; the water drips on it
and on a return trip that namo will bo
crusted over with a transparent sub
stance that leaves the name in view.
Prof. Ostlen's lecture was very en
joyable and those who were not pre
sent on the occasion missed a treat.
"Around The Town"
A crowd of pretty girls tastily cos
tumed, ndequato scenic environments,
pretty music, Is what Murray and
Mack, our old favorites," promise us
next week when they will present
their latest vehicle called "Around
the Town," written by Edgat Seldon
who has fashioned several very suc
cessful farco comedies. 'J his pleco
has more of a plot than Is generally
found in tho Murray and Mack farces
but the plot Is not allowed to Inter
fere In any way with tho excitement.
As Murray says, "Anyone llndlng a
plot absolutely and telling us all what
It means w III be given a barrel of ap
ples." Much attention has been paid
this j ear to the musical numbers some
of which will bo found veiv pretty

as the swings go higher and higher
they go out over tho audience. Tho

pecially when all tho lights In the

novelty -almost as much so as the

Goodwin's Weekly lias such a de
lightful way of looking at the bright
sldo of everything that Its keenest
darts hae their lighter side and Its
clouds a. silver lining. The Weekly
has noted Collier's crusade against
the patent medicine tralllc and In the
following comes near hitting the nail
on the head. It says:
"We are not sure about the Justice
of that persecution, because there l a
certain class of patients that would
not be happy If they really knew they
were In good physical health, and who
prefer to believe they arc always ill
and make it their dally business to
test all the various nostrums that arc
advertised as cure-alls. Abate the
patent ir cdlcinc business and these
people would get well and have to go
wotk, and that would be a hardship
unspeakable. The pioposltlon to
make all patent medicine vendors
have the Ingredients used in their
medicines printed on the bottle, we
think, would cure the evil. For In
stance, if it could be shown that the
basis or Peruna was simply drug store
whiskey, or that Mrs. Wlnslow's
Soothing Syrup was grounded In lauda
num, etc., It would disillusionize
patent medicines. Still, we do not
know what the would-be sick would
do, because the discovery of a new
patent medicine brings the same joy
that the discovery of a. gold mine does
to a prospector The miner gets ono
assay that goes $:t" 05 In gold There
may not be another pleco that will
assay that much In the whole mine,
hut for the time being ho is Just as
happy as though that was the general
average, and while the illusion lasts
his joy continues. It Is the same way
with the patent medicine llcnd. Every
new remedy is a bonan.a to him for a
day, and why break tho spell?"
