Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, 03 they cannot rraoh the

way to cure deafness, nnd that Is by constitu

Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets Inflamed
you havo h rumbling sound or Imperfect hear
ing, and when it la entirely closed deafness
Is the result.and unless tho Inflammation can be
aken out and this tnbe restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,

It actually thaws during the winter. This
apparent ootitmd lotion of the natural laws
bat govern tho outside world has carried
tho fame of this well for miles around and
people have traveled greet distances to
witnem the formation of Icicles during the
hot weather of July.
Tins well Is within a few hundred feet
of the summit of Little Wolf mountains,
ou the north slope, at the very beginning
of Orwtilonf oiwk, which empties Into
itoeiuu eight miles rrom whore the linn
bud joins tho Yellowstone river. This
portion of the mountAln Is covered with a
growth of tall pine.

the oold had Increased so rapidly that they
were thoroughly frightened. They could
icel currents of cold nlr rushing un from
the crevices in the rock. They imagined
they were digging into some mysterious
underground cavern. They had hoard lust
enough of wonderful adventures of dig
ging Into caves nnd underground lakes,
nnd being nlono In tills wilderness, where
tho very stillness permitted the ears to
hear and tho mind to Imagine nil manner
of grewsomo powers ldd benentb tho rock,
so thoroughly fllllthem with fear of Im
pending danger that they abandoned the
work which hossluco gained such renown.
lho summits of Llttlo Wolf mountains
nro covered with scoria, whloh has all tho
appearance nnd tcxturo of a good grado of
tiling, it is usually red, but varies In col
or through all tho shades down to black.
Thoso varying colors give tho beautiful
tints to tho thousands of buttes through
out tho bad lands. In comparatively re
cent geological times vast beds of ignite
coal wero formed over tho eastern half of
Montana, extending into western Dakota.
Tho burning of these beds of coal was tho
beginning of tho bad land formation. Tho
lino deposits of clay abovo tho coal were
burned as brick aro burned in a kiln and
formed tho scoria. Where the heat was
greater nnd rock and sand wcro present it
melted nnd mixed with tho coal and coal
ash, forming largo clndcrllke rocks, which
aro sometimes mistaken for lava. As tho
coal burned out from beneath tho clay,
now txiKcd into scoria nnd melted into cin
ders, It broko Into small divisions nnd fell
promiscuously down into tho pits thus
formed. Volcanic ash Is found scattered
over tho Llttlo Wolf mountains and tho
eastern portion of Montana. It must havo
drifted with tho wind from powerful erup
tions in tho Rocky mountains, ns thcro aro
no Indications of any volcnnio action in
tho vicinity of tho ico well. The Llttlo
Wolf mountains nro merely a rough rango
of buttes apparently of tho samo origin as
all tho bad land buttes. Their summits,
towering above all tho other buttes, have
given them tho nanio of mountains, but
thoy nro only of slightly over 4,000 feet al
titude If ico wcro to bo put Into tho well
during tho winter, It would keep through
out tho summer nearly as well as if stored
away in ordinary icehouses. Uychanco nn
turo has formed almost tho identical con
dltlons thnt man has mndo uso of to pre'
servo Ico throughout tho hot weather. Tho
shaft is tho cavity in whloh to storo tho
Ice. Tho volcanlonsh, llllliig into the open
space between tho loosely piled rock, serves
tho purpose of sawdust In keeping out tho
wnrm drafts of air. Thealtitudo and the
north slope nro fnvornblo to tho preserva
tion of tho Ico. Tall, dense forest prevents
tho heating of tho surface rock by tho di
rect rays of tho sun. Tho rocks nre too
porous for tho water to soak up, so to
speak, from beneath. Tho facts nro that In
many places near the tops of tho buttes,
ou tno sides whero tho rocks havo fallen
loosely together, they aro porfectly dry for
many feet below tho surface, being mols
tened by tho winter snow nnd rain as it
may fall and run down from Abovo.
During tho winter tho well Is nearly
filled with snow. Enough water from tho
early spring rains finds Its way through
between tho rocks to mil with tho snow
and freczo into ono solid mass of ice. Tho
ice in tho well Is formed by tho cold of
the winter season, but does not begin to
form sometimes till tho winter Is half
gono.
In turn, it Is melted by tho heat of tho
summer, but docs not begin to melt until
tho summer Is half over. In the early
part of tho summer it is still freezing in
tho well, and during tho first half of tho
winter it is still melting. Tho well acts
as n refrigerator. It receives tho heat
slowly and then gives it off just as slowly,
If tho earth received and gavo off heat
readily, tho hottest weather would bo In
June nnd tho coldest In December In
fact, tho seasons follow nearly a month
behind tho sun.
It Is u fact that if on n hot day you walk
raphjly Into tho cavo to whero tho ico is it
feels as though a strong current of cold
nlr wcro blowing ngalnst your face. The
sensation is so decidedly real that it re
quires careful demonstration to prove to
the contrary, and even then it almost
seems as though tho demonstration has
been a mistake. It can bo easily tested by
using smoke, or better still, a rather
heavy colored, glass. Again, If ono should
btand without the cntronco to tho cave on
a very warm day near enough to fool any
draft that may bo stirring, nono can bo
felt coming from tho cave. If one should
itand directly abovo tho Ico weH on a hot.
still day, oven putting tho faco down to
tho very opening Into tho well, no upward
draft of cool air can bo felt, but go down
Into tho well and ono would state positive
ly that theru was an upward draft of ex
tremely cold air. Boston Advertiser.
