CAVE OF WONDERS
Lewis and Clark Cavern Never
Fully Explored.
To Insure Its Preservation From De-
struction by Vandals It Has Been
Made a National Monument.
Overlooking for a distance of over
fifty miles the trail by which Lewis
and Clark traversed the great North-
west is a wonderful limestone cavern
which rivals the well-known Luray
caves in Virginia.
This location was designated as a
national monument in 1908 so as to
protect the wonderfully colorful sta-
lactite and stalagmite formations
from the destruction of vandals.
The cavern contains innumerable
vaulted chambers, but up to the pres-
ent has only been explored for a dis-
tance of 700 feet horizontally and 350
feet vertically.
The cave is in the deposit known as
Madison limestone, which inclines
steeply at this spot toward the south-
west, the cavern following closely the
direction of the dip.
So far only two small entrances
have been found, both of these being
on the same side of a steep canyon,
about 500 feet below the rim and 125
feet apart.
Only one of these can be used with-
out ropes. From the main entrance a
stairway descends for about 175 feet
to the main portion of the cavern,
which is nearly horizontal.
Ladders have been built at places in
order to reach still lower levels. A
very narrow passage about 100 feet
long is followed to reach the lowest
points.
Due to the fact that there is no
custodian in charge, it is necessary to
keep the door of the main entrance
locked, so that it is not accessible to
visitors at all times. The monument
has been placed in charge of the su-
perintendent of Yellowstone National
park.
It is expected that a permanent
custodian will be appointed shortly
so that the cavern can remain open.
Skates Came to End in Sudden
and Dire Disaster.
This is another of those stories in
which the hero has to go by a “nom de
modesty.” So he will be known as
John K. Bings—J. K. for short. He
is one of the several people, aside
from Mayor Hylan, who live in
Brooklyn, and one of those, includ-
ing Hizzoner, who do not ride on
the B. R. T.
J. K’s boss was one of those un-
reasonable people who did not con-
sider the strike a good and sufficient
reason for being absent or even un-
usually late for work. So it was up
to him to get to the office in some
manner. The first and second days
of the tieup he managed to get
jammed on a truck. It would have
been all right if he hadn’t seen on the
third day that three girls had roller
skated across the bridge.
J. K. remembered his youth dis-
tinctly and he was pretty sure that
roller skating was easy. Certainly he
should be able to manipulate the sim-
ple straight-forward steps after the
complex patterns of his youth. And
so it was that he borrowed his small
daughter's skates, pulled them out to
the limit of extension and set forth
across the bridge of many sighs.
J. K. found that he managed pret-
ty well until he got to the bridge.
When the pavement was level it was
quite easy and despite his modesty
he found that the surprised and ap-
preciative glances of the less fortun-
ate Brooklynites were very pleasant.
It gave him a fine feeling of returned
youth to be roller skating along with
the best of the youngsters.
But he had reckoned without the
slope at the New York end of the
bridge. Here the structure begins to
descend slightly to meet the roadway.
And J. K. lost control of his pedal
traction arrangements. He grew
pale as he saw a great mass of peo-
ple ahead of him. Yelling did no
good, for the traffic was too great.
So he hit the mass of humanity with
a thud, which jolted the chewing gum
clear down the throats of two ste-
nographers. J. K. found himself seat-
ed on the pavement. His straw hat
was gone and there was a bad rip in
his coat. Slowly he got up, apolo-
gized profusely and looked for his
hat. He found it where he had been
sitting. But it was quite useless.—
New York Sun.
The location is about forty-five miles |
southwest of Butte on the Northern |
Pacific railway, and about three-quar-
ters of a mile northeast from the
post office of Cavern.
Golf Now Presidential Game.
What a part golf has come to play
in’ our public life! Thirty years ago
there were two or three golf courses |
in America. The few people who
played it were regarded as faddists
who had encountered some form of
aerial croquet, observes the Cincin-
nati Times-Star.
In quest of recreation,
no form of sport. President McKin-
jey found his sole form of relaxation
in the smoking of cigars. Then came
Theodore Roosevelt, whose sirenuos-
ity turned him to tennis with an occa-
sional boxing match until a profes- |
sional or a more youthful if less vig-
orous amateur.
But after Colonel Roosevelt golf
reigned supreme, President Taft
played the game regularly and Pres-
ident Wilson, until his unfortunate
{llness, was seen on the Chevy Chase
course almost every day. Senator
Harding now is to move his golf clubs
into the White House.

Bird Protection Effective.
That the passage and enforcement
of the law preventing spring shooting
and marketing of migratory game
birds is now producing excellent re-
sults is pointed out by officials of the
biological survey. Without such re-
strictions they say the game birds not
only would be greatly reduced in num-
bers, but in many instances would be
brought near extinction. The biologi-
cal survey, which is charged with the
enforcement of the federal law and
regulations protecting migratory birds,
is receiving reports from all sections
of the country showing that with the
protection now enjoyed by the birds,
their numbers are increasing each
year, and that they are returning in
spring to numerous breeding grounds
which they have deserted for several
years.

Are Pies Round or Square?
The teacher of a class in arithmetic
was explaining how to find the cir-
cumference of a cifcle. After meas-
uring a number of circles the children
found that the circumference was al-
ways 3.1416 times the diameter. It
was called pi. Then the teacher
asked the class: “Why do you sup-
pose the mathematicians call it pi?”
No one seemed to know and finally
one girl held up her hand.
“Well, Mary,” said the teacher.
«Because pie is round,” was the re-
ply.
“It isn't; sit down,” was the com-
mand.
Mary sat down, murmuring: “Well, 1
never saw a square one.”

Ingenious “Hatroom Pirates.”
Two hatroom pirates in a Broad-
way dansant had a battle over a
spool of thread the other night. When
they were pulled apart it was learned
that they use white thread to loosen
change from tightwads. They cut the
thread in little strips. When a per-
son refuses to tip for being brushed
off, the boys wait until he reaches the
front door, then rush after him and
begin apparently to pull a number of

they show them to the tightwad. It is |
doubtful if Americans would take so
kindly to another instrument, once
used throughout the Hawaiian group.
The “nose flute” is referred to. At the
present time there are few of these to
be found in Hawaii, save in the mu-
seums and collections which belong
to old residents, but occasionally an
old native can be located who still
blows dulcet nasal strains. The
“pose flute is a small whistlelike af-
fair, which the old-time natives used
in connection with the gourds which
furnished music for the hulas of his
time. It was blown through with
one nostril, the other being held with
a finger, which closed or opened it for
the passage of air to vary the volume
of the notes.

Preventing Chapped Faces and Hands.
Chapped hands and faces, a well-
known physician says, are a form ot
inflammation of the skin caused by
unnatural dryness. In winter the fat
glands are inactive -and to prevent
chapping, the skin should be supplied
with lubrication. Too frequent wash-
ing should be avoided and the skin
dried very carefully. Then cold cream

Where all is dark and cold and bare.
My little ones are free from dread

Their laughter glad, their clothing

But other little ones must weep,
And face new dread with each new

Where Hunger’s fangs bite very deep
And Want sits like a ghost in gray.
I have no need to share the blame
If palor dims the orphan’s cheek;
I have not made the cripple lame,
Nor taken from the poor and weak.
But, knowing how they weep at night,
Where all is dark and cold and bare,
1 wonder if I have the right
To let myself forget to care.
