THE ICE GAVE OF IOWA.
Freezing iii Summer and Warm in
Winter.
The thriving town of Decorah lies
in a romantic valley of the Upper I va
rier, and tho cave is alniot within its
corporate limit. Following the lef
bank of the stream one s.ion reaehe
the vicinity, and with a hard scramble
through a loose shale, up tin side of a
precipitous hll, forming the immediate
bank of the river, the enfrance is gained
an opening five feet wide and eight
feet high. The$e dimension generally
desribe the cave's section, From the
entrance the course is a deep decline
seldom less than 40 degrees. At'times
the ceiling is so low that progres on
hands and knees is necessary. About
125 feet from the entrance the c,Ice
Chamber" is reached. At this spot the
cave widens into a well proportioned
room, 8 by 12 feet. The lloor is solid
ice of unknown thickness, and on the
right hand wall of the room a carta n
of ice drops to the floor, from a crevice
extending horizontally in the rock at
the height of one's eyes.
Close examination discovers the wa-
ter oozing from the crevice, and as it
linos its way uown ttie side is treezeu m
the low temperature of the chamber.
.,. , , . . . .
j .Singularly this one crevice, and that no
Wider than a knife edge, funrshes this, j neighbor, and read it all over and then
nature's ice hou-e, with the necessary j rus, oufc on t,e sfc,eet anf denounce
water. It was a hot day in August, the editor and piper in the wort man
the thermometer markinii 80 degress in ner p-sihl. We know a lar-e num

In common with all vi-i'ors, we de a cun jt lw. d t i worry us to have a
tachen some large pieces ot ic? an.J with j
tiiem liuniedly departed, glad to r-gaio
th": war:nth of the outer world.
The most nmarkable lact in connec
tion with ihis wonder is that the water
on'y fie z h in summer. As the cold
of actual winter i"ome on tho ice of the
cave gradually melt, and when the
liver belw is frozen by the fierce cold
of Northern Iowa, the ice has disap
peared and a muddy slush has tak'Ui
the place of the frigid floor. I wculd
add that the ice chamber forms the
terminus of the cave. Peyond, a shal
low crevice in the crumbling rock for
bids further advance. The rock for
mat'on of this region is the Portland
sa ndstone.
