The writer has several motives in preparing a briet de. scription of this most enjoyable visit, First, a promise to THE Stax to “say something” on the subject; second, a taclt erstanding on the part of the members that he should be tt “seribe;” third, a simple sense of duty to the public In giving the Cave as much prominence as possible; and lastly, to te: the party unqualiiled appreciation of splendid inanner in which we were 1 iy ly return than nd Broadus, and the |, for tae hospitality hip extended to the party le their The expedition was formed for the pur: thorcughiy ting the cavern to det its size and geologica ure; tO photograph all objects of special character, and to collect such data in genera! as Would be necessary to form ascientite comparison between this and similar caverns on the continent. party consisted of Wra. 4. clerk” Smithsonian Institut Prot.

At Winchester Were joined by Professors Mason and Gore, We dashed pest the scene of Sheridan's ride; past classic Woodstock; dined at Mt. Jackson, ana reached Newmarket station at i . where we found two coaches waiting tor arty. A few minutes later we crossed the North branch of the Shenandoah, and were soon dashing through the picturestue streets of Newmarket. We quietly selected rooms at the hotel, and, Changing our raiment, started for THE ENDLESS CAVE ‘ four miles south of the town. We were accom- panied by Mr. Ambrose L, Henkel, the young, enterprising and handsome editor of a New- market paper. Mr. Henkel was one of the pio- neer explorers of the Endless Caverns, having passed through them ro less than eleven times prior to our visit. They are situated about eleven hundred feet above Washington, In the western base of the Massannuttan mountains, which, at this point, reach an altitude of twelve hundred feet, making in all about twenty-two hundred feet above Pennsylvania avenue, From the mouth of the cavern Mr. Smillie succeeded in taking a charming panoramic view of the valley, embracing the battle-fleld of Newmar- ket, and the scene of Gen. Hunter's celebrated barn-burning expedition. ‘The temperature at the door of the cavern was 76, and upon en- wring, the thermometer dropped down to 56 ‘The entrance ts made by a sicep deseont xty-tive feet, but the real cavern does not nee until the foot of the stal reached. ‘The main gallery rans paralis ihc mountains, and 1s supposed to extend maiuy milks.

It is trom tive to seven feet wide, and flows in a northwestern direction toward the town. To judge by the current, it must be situated in the lowest part of thé cave, and nearly on a level with the miil-stream in tue valley. After continufag our journey for miles, and taking several negailves with the of the magnestum Ught, the party retry tLeir steps to the entrance, and re-embarking in the stage, reached the hotel about midnight. The following morning made an early startfor Luray. The Massannitten Pass wa reached at. 10 o'clock, and we stoppea to re: and be photographed with the Shenandoah Valley fora background. It nesUled calmiy tu the hazy light elght hundred feet below us, while above, on both sides of the Pass, thé mountain rose to an additional altitude o1 tour hundred fect. It was a delicious, quiet, dreamy scene, and one not easily forgotien. Thesmoke curled lazily up from the valley and was absorbed by the azure sky; the pines and hem- locks waved high overhead and talked and whispered in broken sighs as sad as— ** The moaning of doves in immemorisi elas, And the rotrmuring of innumerable becs.” It required two hours to descend from the Pass to the south branch of the Shenandoah, b Page county. After yording this stream 'w crossed a barren, rocky waste of land that was worth one hundred dollars an acre until the great freshet of Isl, when the river rose eighteen feet above its ordinary level and Washed out thirty-five acres of land to a uni- form depth of six feet. The earth was carried three miles below and deposited on a meadow which has since been used for agricuitural purposes. Tne cld proverb of “an ill wind, etc. was practically illustrated in Unis case, 1or the measow, whieh before the tiundation Was worth sixty dollars an acre, 1s now valued at one hundred and eighty-five dollars an acre, THE LURAY CAVES AND HOW THEY WERE DIS- COVERED, We arrived at Luray at 1 o'clock p. m., and took possession of the rooms that had been re- Served for us at the Cave Hotel. After dinner we changed our dresses and took the stage for tie Cave, which is situated to the right of the turnpike, about three-fourths of a mile west cf the town, The cave and a few acres of sur- rounding land belongs to Mr. B. P. Stebbins. ‘The entrance is near ‘the eastern suramit of a sugar-loaf hill, midway betweea the Massannut- ten Mountains and the Blue Ridge. It was dls- covered by the present proprietor about two years ag, and was not, as is generally sup- posed, the result of an accident. On the con- tary, It required a long and “still hunt” to find it, although its presence was clearly indicated by sink-holes and other ‘ symptoms” plainly understood by the cave-hunting veteran who owns it, The limestone which covers and sur- rounds the cave belongs to the “Canadian or Middle Period ,of the Lower Silurian.” The weathered surfice is hearly white, while the body of the rock is of an Intensely biutsh-black color. Many fossils belonging to this formation are found on or acar the surface. Those most ccmmonly met with in this region are Crinvids and Trilobites, At the office we registered, and atter reducing our temperature to the requisite degree we were taken In charge by Mr. Stebbins and his sons, who cordutted us down a broad and eastly-de- cending stairway, Which landed us thirty-tive feet below the entrance. The thermometer fell to 58° Fahrenheit, which was two degreas higber than at the Endless Cavern. Leaving the stairway we approach tne vestibule, or En. trence Chamber, an irregular-shaped room thir- ty-five feet high by something like one hundred and eighty fect in length; {ts breadsh varyiag in an erratic ana picturesquomanner, We now oe out cur note beoks, messuting and sound ing lines, while Mr. Smillie brings uo the rear With bis Camera, tripod and magnesium lantern.

This treductory *‘course” was necessary, in order to scientifically familiarize some of us with the growth of the cavern and Its above-mentioned accessories, The first object to attract tal attention—outside of the “Avernian” dari through which weare plupging—is Washington's column, which looms up solemnly in the sombre air. Passing Uils monster stalactite, which Teachts em the floor to the celling, and 1s nearly twenty-five feet in diameter, we continue On through a long, arched, irregular sp.we, clothed with “fungoid” stalactites, which our guide informs us ts the Vegetable Garden.

From this end Iransverse stalactites have formed; and now comes the science, or the romance, or both—or whatever you may please to call itor the age of thetr formation.

This stupendous array of figures—this almost eternity of centu- ries is too bewildering to be considered, whea cur asis of comparison is summed ‘up in “ibree score years and ten.” Figures like these are too lofty to be indulged in anywhere outside of the realins of astronomy.
