Iowa’s Wonderful Ico Cave.
One of tho greatest curiosities in tho
Mississippi Valley is a natural ico cavo
which is located in the bluffs of the Iowa
River within loss than a mile of Docorah,
the county seat of Winncshoik County.
This uuiquo curiosity is indeed a natural
icehouse—a cavern in which great icicles
may b3 found at any season of the year,
being especially fine iu summer, partic
ularly when tho weather is hot and dry
outside. The bluff in which the cave is
located is between 200 aud 400 feet in
height, it being necessary to climb about
seventy-five feet up tho side of tho bluff
to reach the mouth of the cave. Tho
entrance is a fissure about ten feet in
width and between fifteen and twenty
feet in height, from which a constant
current of cold uir issues. Thirty feet
from tho mouth of the cave the passage
turns to the left and downwards, towards
the river bed. Tho slope is gradual,
however, and tho walls and roof are with
in easy reach all the while. After you
have reached a spot 100 feet from tho
opening you entered it is noticed that
the walls and roof are covered with frost.
Twenty feet further a thin coating of ice
is noticed, which increases in thickness
as you go into the bluff.—St. Louis Re
public.
The State Inspector of Oils, Indiana,
in his annual report, states that during
the past year the production of petro
leum has increased 20,000 barrels. The
total output was235,977. These figures
put Indiana among the oil producing
States. It is believed that within
another year Indiana will take rank with
Ohio.
la It “Coal OIH”
The “average man” (and you will find
him everywhere in the pioportion of
about ninoty-niuo to one) speaks of pe
troleum—refined—as “coal oil.” This
is done primarily because of the general
impression that the oil comes from coal,
and that coni is of vegetable origin.
Geologists and scientists in general, how
ever, take a different view of the matter.
To them tho oil is a relic of past goo-
logical ages, as well as of animals that
lived When the earth was young. In re
ferring to the genesis of “coal oil” they
never tbiuk of it excopt as an animal oil.
They argue that the great upheavals aud
downfalls of the earth’s crust, which re
sulted iu burying billions of tons of
vegetable matter, which subsequently
turned to coal, also covered millions of
gigantic animals with hundreds and
thousands of feet of sediment. This
sedimentary deposit, iu tho ages which
have elapsed since old nature was racked
with those rock-rending convulsions
which geologists arc so fond of telling us
about, have turned into great strata of
sandstone, limestone, etc., the oil com-
prossed from the great aggregation of
animal remains settling in basins, to bo
tapped by tho ingenious well-sinkers of
the last half of the Nineteenth Century.
Thus even past ages aro mad* to contri
bute to the welfare and comfort of pres
ent generations.—St. Louis Republic.
The Andos Slowly Sinking.
The startling announcement is made
that the whole range of the Andos is
slowly sinking into tho earth’s crust. As
proof of this La Gazette Geographiquo
says that Quito was 9590 feet above the
level of the sea in the year 1745; in 1800
it was only 9570; in 1831, 9507, having
sunk twenty six feet in tho fifty-five
years following 1745, and but threo foot
during tho thirty-ono years which inter
vened between 1800 and 1831. In 1868
the city’s level had been reduced to
9520 feet above Hie level of tho Pacific
Ocean, 'l’o sum up the total, wo find
that Ecuador’s capital has sunk seventy-
six feet in 123 years, Antisana s Farm,
the highest inhabited spot on the Andes
(4000 feet higher than Quito itself,
which is tlio highest real city ou tho
globe), is said by the same authority to
be 2 IS feet lower than it was in 1745.
