GREAT CAVE FOUND;

Into th earth nearly- on a level and

has apparently cared, permitting light
, and air to enter. At these points one
; can clamber out, and -usually finds ono-

' "At en dark place on th eavera th
guide showed me a hols doss by where
I stood.' I lowered my lantern into it
and swung It about, but sou Id see no
bottom. Arising I discovered there was
another larger hols on my loft, and that
I was standing on a thin brldgs or
cruet between the two apparently bat
tomless pita - In getting away from the
place I . stepped Into a corner of the
, larger hole and fell, cutting my hands
severely on th herd lava floor. , At th
. next cave-In I climbed out of th broken
i root and did not explore farther." . .

Re said it
tieory thaTifie channel was an old vent.
.created originally by a water course
m from th Interior of tho volcano. - After
eruptions and time had choked th main
crater recurring flows of lava found an
- outlet " through this channel. Possibly
; It wss originally cut through tho slds
of tbe mountains by hot air blast from
: th ' molten interior. ' According to a
reading of th signs in ths cavern there
have been four flow or eruptions
-. through It since th channel was first
r cut- Th first flow, ae It -receded" and
' " cooled, left a narrow shelf of hardened
lava along each side of ths cavern, a
1 few feet from the floor. Tho next flow
. waa not quite so strong and left a slm-
liar lava mark just below snd insld th
Srst Sucoeetng flows were still lesa,
as tho fires of he mountain receded,
'. and th last flow e only a little more
than sufficient to cover the floor, on
' which It cooled, leaving a surface that
; Is nearly smooth.
Xx is said to be very probable that th
