Bathing, THE SPECIMENS FROM LORY IN THE NATIONAL MUSEUM — AN LIARITIES OF CAVE STRUCTURE—STALACTITES AND STALAGMITES, The variety of the formations which exist in this now celebrated cave is almost endless, and the wonderful shapes and forms have already given to it a reputation which is rapidly becom- | ing national. No-vother cave in this country possesses such diversified features, and it can only be compared trith the celebrated grotto of Adelsberg in Carnieia; which cave is represented in the National Museum by two stalagmites, each of which is abont six fect long. Although the removal of specimens from the Luray cave might appear like aaeritice, it has been the wish of the proprietors ef the cave to represent its formations in the National Museum on account | of the instructiveness of the specimens, and the cave as one of America’s if possible, should be repre- ‘useum: Therefere, in connection Tuction: of passage-ways thi Sagh the co-operation of the curator of Museum, specimens have been ¢x- ose points where their removal has been found to be a necessity. The effort has to represent the endless diversity rms which the cave contains, but rather to illustrate all THE PECULIARITIES OF CAVE FORMATION and the principles upon which they depend. The simplest variety of cave formation is made by the percolation of water through the over- lying strata, where it becomes saturated with carbonate of lime, and running through an aperture in the roof of the cavern, it deposits its salts in the form commonly taken by icicles. The water which does not evaporate while flow- ing over this stalactite drips from its end on to the floor of the cavern, and the floor is thereby covered with a smooth deposit of carbonate of iime, and a stalagmite grows up from this bot- | tom toward the ‘stalactite. This formation is | represented in the specimens sent, by a stalac- and a smooth portion of the rom which a vel ascends toa height of three | place Mast Adolf Kendig, a jr —— Hendley, W.D.M.; Miss Nellie Ps .G.
