"Violet Cit.v" is icai !., i .s; iln .ml of ;i long walk '.'---■■ -^-- urk . ni i idurs and mysterious side 

 chambers. When the guide throws his lighted brands into the dark corners, a thousand fairy beams are 

 reflected from the many colored stalactites which drop from the ceiling to meet the up-springing stalag- 

 mites of the floor. On one side of the chamber a veritable pipe organ is formed, called the "Chimes," 

 the stalactites giving forth musical sounds when struck. Courte,^y of John P. Morton db Company,

A distinctly new experience is the short ride on the Echo River, deep down in the Mammoth Cave. 

 We sang "My Old Kentucky Home" and "Way Down upon tlie Suwanee River" and were answered by 

 hundreds of musical murmurs as the great resonance chamber above us reverberated the sounds again 

 and again. Courtesy of John P. Morton rf Company, Louisville
