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. 11(017 FENCES, :-vi; K-i Window Guards, *—JAILS—* AND STRUCTURAL IRON. ,n ind°wo 0 rk., Roanoke, Virginia, j ,,r o«*, Richmond, Virginia.
