One of the Pecullarities of a Big Hole in the Ground. From the Denver Sun. There is acave near Rockwood, a station on the Denver and Rio Grande railroad, which has been visited by many persons living near, as well as by parties from Durango. No particular mention of the cave has been made, as it seemed to be little worthy of notice—nothing unique or striking. On Sunday last a number of pleasure seckers left this city to join a party at Rockwood who had planned to visit the cave. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon the members of the party, having disposed of their diuner, began to climb the hilt, near the top of which the mouth of the cave is located. After much exértion the foremost of the irty reached the mouth of the cave and, — in advance of his companions, they were muc! startled to see him fall backward in the low oak brush as if he had been thrown from a catapult. His companions, pushing forward more vigor- ously, soon came to bis rescue and found him recovering from his tumble, not much hurt, but slightly seratched and somewhat dazed. He could give no explanation of his sudden re- moval from the opening to the cavern. Curious to know what the cause was, the en- tire company in a body pushed up the hill, which has a particularly steep descent neur the mouth of the cave. To thé astonishment of the whole number, the instant after stepping into the cave they ‘found themselves all pi jogether in apot near where the first had landed. It took but a little while to recover from the entanglement, when they begun to inquire the cause of this sudden excitement. They all agreed that they bad seen nothing to cause such s thing, and they were curious to know the reason for the phenomenon. But how to ‘ind ont whnt they wished was the thing to de- cide. At last it was determined that the strongest gentlemen of the party should gain a position at the side of the entrance aud, thus protected, get an opportunity to reconnoiter. So, taking a circuitous route and avoiding a position di- reetly in front of the opening, they soon found themselves close beside the entrance. Cau- tiously putting his head out beyond the pro- tecting wall, the foremost peered in. His hat iately took flight down the declivity, but he was thus made awure of the exact state of afiairs. ‘The philosophy of the current of air in caves suddeuly dawned upon him. Asis well known, air on a warm day in summer 1s much lighter on the outwide of a cave or collar than itis inside. Consequently the cold, beavy air rushes ont with great violeuce—enough in this case to cause the trouble spoken of and throw the party down the hill. Later, relating this tale, an old-timer told Zone corres mt of a former adventure of is at the same place.
