Onu of tlio greatest imtnml curioai-
Uca in thu world lies luss thnn tvu )
hnnJrecl milca from Cincinnati , lies-
idcnts of this city can reach it in ten
hours of pleasant travel , ntul 3 ct it ia
safe ( o aay thixt not ono iut of every
two huniirctl of the citizuna of the
Qucou City have over soon it A
hundred people visited Niagara falls
to every ono who visits the oiulorful
cavern of Kentucky. There uro va
rious reasons for this. First , Nugnra
i& fprtunato in being well advertised ,
while Mainnioth cave , for some ren-
aon , Boldoin sees it naiuo in print.
Secondly , Niagara falls U muniged for
all the inoitoy it ia capable of bringing -
ing to its shrewd agents , \\hurcna
Mammoth ewe , until very recently ,
was under the control of non-
progresRivo ideas. Thinl , Niagara hus
ttncovorcd billionth the noonday sun ,
and distant view of its splendor can
alwiiya be had ; Mammoth C.ive is hid-
dcn in the darksome depths of tlio
earth , with nothing visible to the out
side world but its cavernoun mouth.
Fourthly , Niagara lies almost in the
direct line of travel between tlio great
centers of castorn and wea orn popu
lation , and is of comparatively tusj
access ; Mammoth C.xvo is situated in
a wild region of the south , nuar which
no great tide of travel llowa , and is
eight miles from the nearest railroad
station. And yet , in npito of oil this ,
the subterranean axpomtion of natural
wonders ii worth more than the time ,
trottblo and money it requires to sets it.
SOMETHING ABOUT THIS UAVK.
Before attempting to describe any
of thu wondrous sights of the u\vo it
might bo well ta briefly sot out a few
historical facts about it. Mammoth
cave ia situated in , or rather under
Edtnonson county , Ky. , the center of
the wildest section of the state. The
noted James brothers , it is said , have
several times been in hiding within
cannon shot of the place. There nio
over seven thousand aquavo miles ot
limestone formation in this section ,
and all of it is supposed to bu honey
combed by subterronean passages and
cavernous halls. The whole county
of Eilmuusoii is dotted witlisiuk-holca
and nearly four hundred cavern
mouths have been discovered , thougl
most of them give access to but voiy
small cavoj. Only ono entrance has
been discovered to Mammoth cave ; at
least , but ono has over been made
public. It is believed the guides could
tell of other means of entrance or
exit , but it is their business to keep
this laioweldge , if there bo such , to
themselves.
The cave lies under a high table
land which rises 312 feet ubovo the
waters of Green river.
THE ENTRANCE TO THK CAVE
is at the end of a ravine back of the
Cave hotel , and 118 feet below the
building. The visitor noes do\vn a
winding path until ho arrives at the
place where thu ravine seems to have
runup against a precipitous blutT and
knocked a hugo hole in the hillside ,
The hole is the mouth of the cave. Il
is twenty-four feet in height and
thirty wide. A small stream of clear
water flows from between the rocks
above the opening and falls upon the
rocky bed below with pleasing oiFm.
At nearly every season of the year a
constant fog or bank of mist obscures
the entrance , caused by the meeting
of two atmospheres , ono of which is
colder than the other , and thus con
denscs the moisture in the air where
the meeting takes place. Upon the
day we entered the cave the tempera
ture inside and outside happened to
bo about tlio same , and the fog AV.I'
absent , something that rarely occurs
THE TEMPKUATUllB OF THE AIR
of the cave never varies. Until re
ccntly it was declared that the constani
temperature inside the cave , winter ,
spring , summer and .autumn , was 50 °
Fahrenheit. But very recent scientific
tific teats have shown that this measurement
uromont was marked five degrees too
high ; the temperature IB shown to bu
but 50o , and from that it never varies.
The atmosphere is very pure. Oxy
ijen and nitrogen boar the same ic-
lation to each other in the cave at-
inosphoro that they do in the air out'
side ; but there is much less caibonit
acid gas in the cave than is found n
the air we breathe. In the dryer
parts of the cavern the proportion ii
about l-f > 000th and near the rivers i
ia leas still. Not a trace of ammonia
has over bean found in the cave prop
or. The humidity of the atmosuhon
varies as you docond to the river and
lake regions. In the upper avenue
and chambers , upon the walls and
floors of which nitrate of lime is deposited
posited , there is a destitution of moisture
uro almost absolute. Hero aninia
matter mummifies instead of decayin
by putrefaction. A dead body lett ii
these passages would turn to a mum
my. In those saiuo regions , for th
oamo reasons , dust never rises.
a trace of ozone can bo detected.
is said that tlio nimosphcro of the
cave ia the most exhilarating on the
face i f or in the earth. Fragile , delicate -
cato women have been known to travel
oil foot over ton , and oven twenty
miles of the rocky , rough passages in
the cave , experiencing little or no
fatigue , whereas they could not walk
one-third the distance in thu upon air.
The ereat purity of the cave's atmos
phere is not full } roali/ed until the ex
plorer emerges into the "sweat , pure
country air" of the outxido unrld. Thu
passages from one to the other at first
u like transition from the air of the ,
streets into a close dormitory , where
a score of Bloopers have spent the [
night.
GOOD KOU ttONHDMITIVKS.
This extreme pnrity of the atmos
phere of the cave founded the im
pression , some fifteen years ago , that
a residence there would euro , or at
least chock , consumption. Tlio test
was a sorrowful ono. A half dozen
consumptives , about 1811 ! , entered :
the cave for the distance of a mile or
more , whore they erected huts jrof
atone and some of wood , in which
they took up their residence. During
the tint few days they were greatly
-encouraged by the efloot. Then bo-
can a reaction. Several of them soon
died in the ca\e , and nil the rest ex
pired soon after their return to the
external air. Let physicians CTP ftl"
the cause of this ollect. Short trip *
into tlio cave nro advantageous to
people nlllictod with luii } : troubles , in-
tl.unmatory rheumatism nnd djsen-
tery. The public ought to bo warned ,
however , delicate ns may bo the sub
jcct of the warning , that there nro
certain constnitt periods in n\erj
lady's ' lifo when , under no circum
stances , should she enter the cave
Serious results , and oven death , have
frequently followed this violation of
nature's law , when the victim was en
tirely ignorant that she wan dolyintj
dentil.
HOW IIIMCOVKUKI ) .
II is n matter of legend , if not of
history , that Mammoth Cave was dio-
covered by a hunter many years ago
who clmed a bear into the mouth
Hi ) followed und explored it for quitt
a distance. The Indians , however
Imd occupied the main c.ue years bo
fore. Evidences of their nboriginn
habitation were discovered to n dis-
taiico of n mile and a half back from
the entrance then up to the verge of
the Hottondess Pit. This awful sink
hole they could never cross , ns it was
ono hundred and seventy feet deep
and extends entirely ucioss the pas
si o. Hut white man's ingenuity
long afterward tlnow a bridge across
the chasm nnd gave access to miles
upon miles of the cavern , which ex
touds Htdl further into the bowels of
the earth , a distance of seven and n
half miles.
tun CA > i : nururiti.s ,
atrnngo na it may soom. For half n
3 ear it inhales the outer air ; then it
hold * its breath for a few days , after
which it exhales fcr a six months'
period , lu other words , during sum
mer months , -vhen the external torn-
poialuro is much wanner than is the
letnpuniluie of the cave , a constant
Btroun of air pours out of the mouth ;
nnd the hotter the weather grows the
stronger giowsthe blast from the cave.
When the external tumporaturo is
about the same a the cave's- that is ,
titty-four degrees a calm exists in
the cavcin's mouth nnd it holds its
breath. Such was the condition when
wo vieiled it. Hut in winter , when
the thermometer goes down toward
rove , the cold nir ot the valley rushes
into the cave as though pursuing an
aimy of demons into hades. At cer
tain Hoasons of the year the current of
air in the passages near the moulh is
so great that lights nro blown out
This current of air becomes neutral
ized , however , as one > oes further in ,
nnd finally is allayed entirely by the
reservoir properties of the onlanjing
chambeis , w hah are to bo found after
a distance of half a mile.

1812 , by Aichibald Miller , of Phila
delphia , who took it to the eist and
sold lo the American government to

powder. The cave is still just as rich
a mine of deposit for the mineral as it
was then , but nobody could now suc
cessfully oompolo in manufacturing il
there with the markets of foreign
lands. The East Indies and Soutl
America at this later day supply the

FACING DEATH.
Terrible Strnculo lu n Railroad
Car \Vitli n Desperado-
Detroit I'ost Deo. 0.
At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon n
thrilling epiaodo occuired on the
Michigan Central in-bound express
train near Kalamazoo , nnd but for the
courage of a woman might have end
ed in a terrible tragedy. When the
train neared Pokagon a man , who had
been apparently engaged in reading a
newspaper , was seen to rise suddenly
in his seat , and turning to a poison
seemingly his companion , shouted in
loud tones. "You give mo your reveler
vol\or and lot mo go or I will brain
you ! " A desperate struggle instantly
ensued between the two men , nnd the
startled and now thmoughly fright
cnod passengers precipitately lied from
the car , with the exception of a plucky
little woman.
The man who uttered the exclama'
tion was Henry W. White , alias Bur
ton , a notorious stago-robbor , bandit ,
and desperado , en route to tlio Detroit
house of cornction. The individual
ho addrcssnd was United States Mnr
Blial P. P. Wilcox , of Denver , Col. ,
who had him in custody. The oxcla
matioii was instantly followed by the
prisoner bringing down on thootticer's
head with terrible force a pair of
handcuifi , which he had cunningly
picked from his wrists with a tooth
pick. Tlio ollicor was momentarily
stunned by the blow , but made a desperate -
perato resistance. Blow after blow
was rained on the ollicor's head bj
the prisoner with the handcuili
and then he made a success
ful effort to got the revolver ,
The oflioer shouted for help ,
but none came. The prisoner cocked
the revolver , held it against the elli
cor's breast , and pulled the trigger ,
but it failed to perform the work in
tended for it. A desperate struggl
for the possession of the revolver , a
six-shootei of 44-calibro , knoivn as i
bulldog , now took place on the par ;
of the oflicer. Now it was in his
hands snd then in that of tlio prison
or. The most mysterious thing about
the stiuglo is that , although each tried
to fire the revolver , it failed in cacl
caao to lospond. The tnuz/.lo of the
weapon while in the hands of the
prisoi.er was thrust gainst the left
temple of the ollicor with such force
that the prints of it wore plainly discernible
corniblo when ho iiriived in Dotioit.
During the contest the lady , a Mrs.
Smithson , from Denver City , remain
ed in the car and labored heroically
to aid the oilicer. She threw her
arms about the dcaporapo's neck and
tried to hold his linnds. She remon
strated with him nnd tried to calm
his fury. Toward the close of the
struggle , the prisoner seeing ho could
not kill the ollicor nor got possession
of the keys to unlock the shackles 01
his foot , placed the mui/lc of the re
volver against his heart nnd again il
tcfusod to icspond. Finally the elli
cer grabbed the bell-rope and stopped
the train , A brnkeman , attracted bj
the struggle , had come inU.
the car , but was nfinid t <
touch thu prisoner. The ntruggl
was fortunately bi ought to n clos
by the opportune appearance of 0. F ,
Ohnpin , of Denver , from the forwnrt
car , who joined forces with the elli
cer. The two guards , whom the elli
ccr had brought with him , were in th "
car , smoking during th
struggle. Word finally reached then II
of the peril of their chief , und the , IIa IIy
came rushing to the rescue. Th a
prisoner was soon reduced to subjcc :
tion , and his hands pinioned bohin
his back. White did not hesitate ti
announce that he intended to kill Hi
ollicer , rob the passengers , and make
his escape to the north woods , lie
fluid ho was virtually a dead man when
once within the walls of tlio house of
correction.
Wilcox with his prisoner nriivod in
Detroit (5fiO ( ; o'clock Saturday evening.
1'hu latter has been lodged iu the
house of correction , to which ho him
been sentenced for life. While weighs
about 150 pounds , has sandy hair nnd

unquestioned , and hm durum unsur

ago. His hands nro red with human
jiood ; and his few years maikod with

areer ho has robbed thu passcngurs
