THE MOST FAMOUS
CAVERN IN AM
E
RICA
The most famous cavern In America
Is Mammoth cave, in Kentucky, write
"Niksah" In the Chicago Dally News.
Mammoth cave was an old Indian ref
uge, and the Rlory of redskin adven
tures Is written plain In the skeletons,
tomahawks and reed torches that have
been found In the cavern depths.
Then, In ISO!), a white man, a pioneer
hunter, followed a wounded bear Into
the mouth of the great cave, aud from
that time on Mammoth cave became
in American estimation the eighth
wonder of the world.
Almost as soon as the white man
discovered the cavern he bopiu to
make practical Use of It. Lonn before
the era of Indian possession hats hud
lulmblted the cavern halls and In the
course of time their skeletons had. ac
cumulated on the floor, especlully
near the entrance. These skeletons,
containing nitrate, played nn Impor
tant part In the war of 1812, for
nitrate, so needed for making explo
sives, was scarce In the colonies and
the Mammoth cave became the main
Source of supply.
When the country settled down to
a period of comfortable prosperity,
Mammoth cave became, even more
than It Is today, a great show place
of America. The cave's history Is told
In the names of the various rooms nnd
galleries. Jenny Llnd and other artists
vlRlted the cave and sang or played
the nlrs that had made them famous
In "Ole Bull's Concert Hull" or other
envern corridors. In a room since
named "Booth's Amphitheater," Edwin
Booth was Inspired to declaim some
of the lines of Hamlet before a small
nnd select audience.
FIND UPAS TREE VALUABLE
Natlvei of Java Procure Ready-Made
Clothing From Its Branches,
With Little Effort.
One of the strntiKest myths Is that
which concerns the "deadly upas tree"
of Juva, whose poisonous exhalations
were formerly alleged to kill any man
or nnlmnl that ventured Into Us neigh
borhood. Doubtless It had Its origin In som
traveler's tale, for the tree In ques
tionrather widely distributed In
southern nnd southeastern Asia has
no terrors for the natives of these
countries, who, on the contrary, find
It extremely useful.
It Is the only kind of tree In the
world that produces read.v tnnde cloth
ing. The Inner hark Is a natural cloth,
only requiring the removal of the soft
cellulnr stuff In order to render It avail
able for use. A cylindrical section of
It from a small brnnrh will furnish a
leg for a pair of trousers or nn arm
for a coat, while from a bigger branch
the body of the garment Is obtained.
Copyright Acts
The first act providing for the copy
right of 'jrioks and other publications
to the United States was passed 129
years ago. The term of copyright was
then fixed at 14 years, with the priv
ilege of renewal for 14 years longer.
In 1811 the period was extended to
28 years and providing for a renewal
for 14 years. For nearly a hundred
years after the passing of the first
copyright law the protection was ex
tended only to citizens of the United
States. In England a similar injus
tice was practiced upon Americans, al
though the British government did
permit foreigners to take out a copy
right, provided their work was first
published In England and the author
was at the time of publication any
where within the British dominions.
International copyright conventions
now exist between nearly all nations.
The first copyright act In England was
passed In 1709, giving protection for
14 years and for the author's life If
then living. In 1814 the English law
was amended by extending the period
to 28 years.
Germ of Laughter.
Laughter, we are told by all author
ities on the human emotions, springs
from a sense of satisfaction and su
periority In the laugher over the
lnughee, If we may coin the word for
the occasion. The Paris Rose Houge
publishes a hitherto unprlnted essay
on laughter by Stendahl, In which the
following definition occurs:
"What ! laughter? It is a succes
sion of pulmonary spasms accompa
nied by a peculiar facial expression
which Is so famlllnr that I need not
describe It and by a plegsurable sen
sation ground the chest.
"This physical state arises from a
sudden Inspiration to compare our
own worth with someone else's and
resulting In a verdict favorahle to our
selves. Laughter thus arises from the
sudden recognition of our own superiority."
Keep Mind Free From Rust.
A rusty tool of any sort Is a poor
recommendation for the owner. It Is
doubly condemning when that tool Is
the master key of life. The weather
nnd the carelessness of others may
rust tools of steel. Only the Indolence
of the man himself can allow the mind
to get rusty. It's a mark of senility
or premature mental weakness when
the mind that ought to be vigorous
shows signs of rust. No man of good
sense has a right to think he tins
reached his limit of usefulness. Each
step upward should become the Incen
tive to a higher step. As higher ground
extends the vision so mental attain
ment should extend the scope of a
man's Influence. Pennsylvania Grit

But we can't continue increasing our
production unless we continue increasing
our railroad facilities.
The farms, mines and factories cannot
increase their output beyond the capacity
of the railroads to haul their products.
Railroads are now near the peak of their
carrying capacity.
Without railroad expansion more en
gines, more cars, more tracks, more ter
minals there can be little increase in
production.
But this country of ours is going to
keep right on growing and the railroads
must grow with it.
To command in the investment markets
the flow of new capital to expand railroad
facilities and so increase production
there must be public confidence in the
future earning power of railroads.
The nation's business can grow only as
fast as the railroads grow.
