THE MAMMOTH CAVE.
(We were crowded last week, and on ac
count ol lack ot space we had to leave out the
interesting article written by L. L. ('.. on
the Mammoth Cave. Wo publish the whole
of it this week.—Kps.]
Wi“ took 1 In* 8 a. m. train south
lVoni Louisville, over a lieautit'ul coun
try for about lifty miles, then we came
in the great range of mountains Ik>-
tween the Ohio and the Cunilierlnnd
rivers, over high trussel bridges,through
tunnels for about thirty miles, when
we came out on the Southern slope of
the niountains, dotted till over wit h the
typical Southern house's, commonly
called “shacks,” orchards, loaded with
tipples, enough to make a Northern
lowan’s mouth water. Soon we find
ourselves at (Hasgow . I net ion, 08 miles
from Louisville and eight miles from
the mouth of the Mummoth Cave,
then over a very crooked track and
up a steep grade all the way; arriving
thereabout 1 o’clock p. m., tired and
hungry, found a large, plain hotel,
with charges for meals and lunches
enough to scare a silver mine.
After two hours of tedious waiting,
a company of 120, after paying *1 each,
with two guides enter the cave at 4
p. m. Now the scribe liegins to want
for words to describe this wonder
ful subterranean passage. On entering
tlie cave, we go down a steep decline
for about forty rods, and come to the
r itunda of the cave, a circular space,
about 800 feet long and sixty feet high,
the overhead artistic enough for the
handy work of man. At this place we
are directly under the big hotel; to the
left we enter the Broadway, so called,
of the cave. In this passage it is eight
miles to the underground lake.
At a point two miles from here is the
place called the Chapel, because some
minister preached a sermon there to a
company. About three and one-lmlf
miles in this avenue is the Bridal
('handier, so-called from the fact that a
couple were married there; the lady
promised her mother that “she wculd
not marry himon the faceoftheearth.”
Woman’s genius helped her out. So
got the man and kept her promise.
At this point we lea vet he Broadway,
pass through one of the many narrow
passages to what is culled 'Brospect
avenue, beautifully festooned with
-telaeti. This avenue is twelve miles
long. Wo kept to the left in this one
about one mile and came to a drop of
about thirty feet, called the Lover’s
Leap. Here we commenced our re
turn trip, passing to the right about
two miles through the wonderful But
ter of Nature. At this point we turn
to the left down a steep decline to what
is called the Bottomless Bit. We go
down for one-lmlf mile and come to
two round holes about ten feet across.
A torch dropped in goes and goes until
it is out of sight, without touching bot
tom. After passing these a bout ten rods
we came to the crystal drops that fall
from the ceiling like large drops of
water. They are seat relied after by
visitors for relics, as they are the only
things that you are allowed to take
from the cave. The guide tells us lie
has never been to the end of the pass
age from this place, although he has
been showing people through the cave
lor thirteen years.
On retracing our steps the points of
rock form Martini Washington's statue
by going hack of them with a light.
On entering again Prospect avenue
we come to tlie two stone houses built
for consumptive people; a great mis
take, as the air is very damp and
heavy. After passing these we enter
tin* rotunda again.
We visited many places of interest
in this mammoth wonder, and started
for tiie outlet, having walked Kj miles
in four hours, getting back on the face
of the earth at 8 i\ m., and after wait ng.
tired and hungry, one and a half hours
for the return train, and almost fight
ing for standing room, to return to
Glasgow, where, at a colored gentle
man’s hotel, we got supper at 10 o’clock.
At 11:30 i*. m., we got a train for Louis
ville, arriving at 3 A. m., well pleased
with our side-trip to the Mammoth
Cave, in Kentucky. L. L. (’.
The Telephone Newspaper.
The telephone newspajicr, organized
at Pesth, Hungary, lias boon working
successfully for two years. It is the
only newspaper of the kind in the
world. It is called the Telephone
Hirnondo, or Herald, costs 2 cents, like
a printed paper, and is valuable to jn*r
sons who are unable to or too lazy to
use their eyes or cannot read. It lias
0,1)00 subscribers, who receive the news
as they would ordinary telephone mes
sages. A special wire 108 miles long
runs along the windows of the houses
of subscribers, which are connected
with the main line by separate wires
and sjK’eial apparatus which prevents
the blocking of the system by an acci
dent at one of the stations. Within
tin* houses long, flexible wires make it
possible to carry the receiver to the bed
or any part of tin* room.
The news is not delivered as it Imp
liens to come in, hut is carefully edited
and arranged according to a printed
schedule, so that a subscriber at any
time knows what part of the pai>er In
is going to hear. It liegins with the
night telegrams from all parts of
Europe. Then comes the calendar of
events for the day, with the city news
and the lists of strangers at the hotels.
After that follows articles on musi
cal art and literature. The stall' is
organized like that of any other news
pajier, and is only on duty from 7:30 in
the morning till 0:30 at night. After
the copy has passed through the edi
tor's hands, for the pnjKr is subject to
the same restrictions as ordinary news
papersand is liable for its communica
tions, it is given to the “sjieakers.”
These are ten men with strong voices
and clear enunciations, who work in
shiftsof two at a time and talk tin
news through the telephone. There
are 28 editions uttered a day. Additions
to tlie first edition are announced as
news items.
To fill up the time when no news is
coming in, the subscribers are enter
tained with vocal and instrumental
concerts, —N. York Sun.
Last Friday at Allentown, Pa., a
man swallowed his false teeth. The
doctor at St. Luke’s hospital advised
him to go to Philadelphia ami have an
operation performed, anil they fear
that unless this is done ]>eritonitis will
result.
It is reported that New York has
had a sufficient fall of snow to make
good sleighing.
