Startling discovery has just beenmade in Mammoth Cave whichundisputably the effect of thedrouthwhich has prevailed over this sec¬

tion for ninety days says the Bowlj ing Green Messenger

In some of the avenues where wa ¬

ter from ten to fif teen feet stood itis now perfectly dry In some placeswhere people can walk with ease

T and safety the oldest guide or visitorcannot remember to have seen thplaces without water

The effect is more noticeable onEcho river than any place That fa

7 mous stream which normally canonly be traversed for a short dis

nce owing to the water and thef of the cave being so near each

ohjBr can now be traveled for milesand it is claimed that the echoesgrand at all times have been intens ¬lowtwaterMany

of the avenues and inletsnot known to have existed beforehave been discovered and at thpresent water stage many miles ofavenues and grottoes can be seen

While the water is Jow an effo-ttJ will be made to locate the exit of th

Echo river and this may result jnsome wonderful discoveries Manylocal people who have visited thcave often some as many asa dozentimes are going to the cave to see

1Echo river under present conditionsis the first time in the historyr of Mammoth Cave more than a hun ¬

dred years that the water has beenso low as at present kind those fatmiliar with the cave claim that iwill probably be two months untilthe river and other waters will riseto a normal condition I
