A glass tumbler was placed lK.-ue.nth snne dripping lime writer, that tho time taken to form an incrustation might be oljsorved, and at the end of five ears a crust not more than one eighth of an inch in thickness was formed under tho mo.-t favorable conditions. The organ is composed of stalactites and stalagmite, which have formed con tinuous columns from ceiling to lloor, which not only resembled the pi pea of an organ but to some extent give, forth actual mu-ical sounds, soft and sweet.

In a dark corner of the cavern tin lime has the form of a large sheet suspended from the roof. Towards the eud of this sheet have bi-ii funned, by the precipitation of iron, two red bands about two inches in width, which, with the j'ellow color tiven to it by the dripping water, take ivn the apjwarance of 11 veritalrfo wet blanket.
