-i ner u a care pear Kockwood, a rta
' ion on the Denver and Rio Oraml rail-'
Ytd. which haa been visited by many
persona. No particular mention of the
cave baa been made, an it eenjd to be
little worthy of notice. On Sunday J:it
a number of pleanur oeekers left thin
3ty to join a party at ftockwool who
hud planned to vhtit the cave. About 4
o'clock in the afternoon the members of
the party. Laving riixpoeed of their din
ner, began to climb the hill near tin
top of which the month of the cave in
located.
After imtrh exertion the fort-most of
the party reached the month of the cave,
and bein u in advance of bin companions
they were Htartled to we him fall back
ward into the low oak brush as if he hai
ben thrown from a catapult. EI if com
IMtnioii.s pushing forward more vigorous
ly, noon catiie to his rescue and found
him recovering, not much hurt, but
slightly scratched and somewhat lazei
lie could give no explanation of his mid
den removal from the oiieiiirijf to the
cavern.
Cunons to know what the cause was
the entire company in a Inxly pushed up
the hill, which has a particularly uteep
descent near the mouth of the cave. To
the astonishment of the whole uiiinkr
the instant after stepping into the cave
they found themnelvea all piled together
in a iiot near where the first had landed.
It took but a little while to recover from
the entanglement, when they legan to
inquire the -au.se of thin ftndden excite
ment. They all agreed that they had
wen nothing to canse such a thing, and
they were curious to know the reason
for the phenomenon But how to find
out what they wished was the thing to
decide.
At last it was determined that the
strongest gentleman of the party should
gam a position at the Mle of the en
trance, and. thus protected, get an op
Rrtnnity to reconnoiter. So. taking a
circuitous route and avoiding a ositiou
directly in front of the oiiening. the'
mn found themselves close beside th
entrance. Cautiously putting his head
nt beyond thy protecting wall, the fore
most 'eered it. His hat immediately
took flight down the declivity, but he
was thus made aware of the exact state
of affairs.
The philosophy of the current of air
in caves suddenly dawned upon hita.
As is well known the air of a warm day
in summer is much lighter on the out
aide of a cave or cellar than it is inside.
Consequently the cold, heavy air rushes
out with great violence enough in this
case to cause the trouble spoken of and
throw the party down the hilL
Later, relating tins tale, an old timer
told your correspondent of a former ad
venture of his at the name place. On a
cold day in the early winter he was
tracking a deer along this hillside, when
he was astonished to see the cave open
up before him. and he noticed that the
snow seemed to have been disturbed
very recently, as though a body had
been dragged into the entrance.
, Without thinking, he stepped forward
to examine into the cause of the dis
turbed condition of the snow, when he
felt himself violently pulled into the
cave, the force pulling him from his
feet. He felt a shock, and for awhile
was oblivious to all around him. When
his senses returned lie. found he was
lying by and partially upon the body of
a deer. Upon examination he found the
body of the deer yet warm. This led to
a still closer examination. He at last
determined that the force of the current
r- of ir hlmrinf iiitn tfi ravn hail ilrawti
the deer in, killing it, but that when hi
was drawn in the shock was somewhat
. obviated by his. striking the deer, thus
saving him from death. The explana
tion is just the reverse of the other, the
air being warmer inside the cave than
out. The current flows into the cave
. dnring the .winter, thus accounting for
the strange affair. Denver Sun.
Taming it Zebra..
Zebras can never be tamed, nnless the
process is begun while they are still'very
young. H. A. Bryden gives an instance
of a tragic fate which befell one of them,
captured when he was 7 or 8 years old.
He had joined a troop of horses belong
ing to one of the author's friends, and
finally allowed himself to be driven with
them into a kraal or iiiclosnrt. It was
then determined to keep him. and if pos
sible to domesticate him.
For this puriose he was lassoed and
tied to a tree, but so ferocious was he iu
the presence of man that the greatest
precautious had to be observed in ap
proaching him. All jHjssible means were
taken to induce him to feed. When cap
tured ho was in splendid condition, and
his coat shone tn the sun. Herbage was
brought from the mountain tops where
he had been used to graze, and every
conceivable food placed before him, but
in vain; he steadily refused to eat.
Water he drank greedily, and would
dispose of three bucket fuls at a time.
At length, after three weeks of vain
endeavor to tame the noble creature,
during which time he subsisted entirely
on water, he died. Youth's Companion.
The Cue of thn Word Telepathy.
. The term telepathy must not be in
troduced without explanation. Some
term not yet in common use must be
employed wLen mental phenomena in
fluences of mind on mind not generally
seen to be closely related have to be
classed together and, if 1 possible,
brought under one law. 'The familiar
term "though transference" has much
too limited a meaning. And telep
athy" is already in use. It has been
adopted by the Society for Psychical
Ilesearch, and among other writers, es-
pecially by Mr. Edmund Gurney.

Ill Audience.
A pretty story, which has, moreover,
the merit of leing true, is told of a v( -tain
professional singer. He had a beau
tiful tenor voice, of which he was apt ro
take the best of care, so that when he
was crossing the Atlantic one summer
with a party of friends, they were not
snrprised to find that he disappeared
from view every evening at just about
the same time.
"Afraid of the night air." Raid one.
with a slight smile.
"Afraid we'll ask him to sing, prob
ably," said another, but no one qu"s
tioned him. as he was known to be quite
immovable from his own way.
lint when the lat, night on board
came, a delegation descended to his
stateroom to leg for a song or two, and
discovered that he was not there. They I
looked for him in vain, until at last the j
captain, who had evidently kept the
secret as long as he could, said, pointing
in the direction of the engine room:
"I think j-on'll find him down there;
that's where he's gone every evening."
Sure enough, when the delegation ar
rived at the engine room, they heard thr
sound of a guitar and a voice, and there,
lolling against the wall, was the recreant
tenor. 6inging his best for the delight of
the stokers, whotn he had entertained
in this way for more than an hour every
evening dnring the voyage. Youth's

A Telepathic Coincidence.
I had as a guest in my residence in
Jamaica a lady of unusual intelligence,
who was very intimate with and mncb
attached to Mrs. Beecher Stowe. They
frequently corresponded. She had a
dream in which Mrs. Stowe seemed to
be occupied, singularly enough, in dig
ging the ground, and she inquired if
tiiere was any foundation for this. From
the reply she learned that Mrs. Stowe
had been shortly before in Scotland on
a visit to the Duke of .Argyle, and had
leen asked to plant a tree as a memorial
of her visit on leaving. Here it is proba
ble that, besides the general sympathy
between the parties concerned, there
was some special thought, on Mrs
Stowe's part, of the friend who dreamed
of her act, connected in time either with
the actual handling of the spade or with
the remembrance of her strai:; lecupa
tion. Few people would suppn-- -h ;i
coincidence to be purely accidental , tin . . -from
the apparent impossibility for .:
counting for it otherwise. Blackwood

The Manufacture of Caps.
In that oddest, nettlike part of New
York, the French quarter, 2,000 or 8.000
men and girls make annually $5,000,000
worth of caps, exclusive of the $1,000,000
worth made by the furriers of that re
gion. At least 1,000,000 dozen caps are
turned out in this quarter every year
As to styles, there are nearly 500 vane
ties Of yachting caps alone there are
something like two dozen kinds, if. in
deed, twoscore is not ne;;ivr the correct
number.
A few leading styles, however, persist
with little or no change from year to
year. The west constantly demands a
cheap cap with ear coverings. Every
year sees some cap for girls the rage.
Such caps sell by the hundred thousand
dozen. A hint comes from Paris, and
in a few weeks the new caps swarm in
every street. New York World.
What He Feared.
'While 1 was in England." says one
woman. "I was told of an American. who
on his first trip on an English railway
quite held his breath at the rapid run

overcame him he approached the guard.
I say, guard," he ventured, 'this is
pretty fast traveling for safety, isn't it?
" 'Oh, no. sir. replied the guard: 'we
never run oif the line here, sir.'
" 'But.' said the Yankee quickly, re
senting the patronage, 'it is not the line.
I'm afraid of running off your confound
ed little island.' " New York Times.
