Breath of Mammoth Cave. 
Mammoth Cave breathes once a year. 
That is to say, in summer, when the tempera¬ 
ture of the externa] air is above that of the 
cave, the current sets from the latter to the 
former. In fact the cave is the entire summer 
making an expiration. 
On the other hand, when the order is re¬ 
versed or the outer atmosphere is. below 54 
degrees, the cave makes an inspiration, or 
draws in its breath. This, according to the 
Mammoth Cave Magazine, is accomplished dur¬ 
ing the winter. 
Charles W. Wright in describing the respi¬ 
ratory mechanism of Mammoth Cave says this 
mechanism ceases to operate, or in everyday 
language the cave holds its breath, when the 
mercury in the thermometer stands at 54 de¬ 
grees in the outer air; that is, the average 
temperature of all parts of the cave, winter 
and summer. Hence it is frequently observed 
in the spring and fall that there is no motion 
of air in either direction at the mouth of the 
cave. 
In summer, when the temperature is near 
100 degrees, the air rushes out at the entrance 
to the cave with such force as frequently to ex¬ 
tinguish the lanterns carried by visitors. This 
condition prevails, however, for but a few 
yards. At a distance of about half a mile from 
the entrance the motion of air is hardly per¬ 
ceptible at any time from the fact that the main 
avenue enlarges so rapidly that it plays the 
part of a reservoir, where a current of air 
from any direction is speedily neutralized. 
If a current of air blows from without inward 
and is below 54 degrees it does not pass more 
than a quarter of a mile before it is brought 
up to that point. Air above the average tem¬ 
perature of the cave never blows into it. 
The element of change inevitably entwined 
with the passage of time above ground is singu¬ 
larly absent in the passage of time underground. 
In Mammoth Cave, where there is noi variation 
of temperature, no water and no light, the three 
great forces of geological transformation cease 
to operate, and even Father Time must per¬ 
force pass through some parts of Mammoth 
Cave and leave not the slightest imprint of his 
journey. A change of seasons is unknown; day 
and night, morning and evening have no ex¬ 
istence in this subterranean world. In fact, 
there is an external sameness here which has 
no known parallel. 
The proportions of oxygen and nitrogen 
bear the same relation to each other in the 
Mammoth Cave that they do in the external air. 
In those avenues of the cave that are at a 
great distance from the rivers, upon the walls 
and floors of which there is a deposit of nitrate 
of lime, the air is almost entirely destitute of 
moisture owing to the hygroscopic properties 
of the salt, and animal matter mummifies in¬ 
stead of suffering decomposition. And for the 
same reason, no matter what state of division 
the disintegrated rock may attain, dust never 
rises. 
How Moose Jaw Got Its Name. 
Moose Jaw is a strange name for a city, 
and it may be of interest to know how such a 
name was given. Some fifty years ago, so the 
story goes, a pioneer with his team of oxen 
and “prairie schooner,” while passing along the 
banks of the river, was obliged to camp at this 
point, in Saskatchewan, on account of an acci¬ 
dent to his cart, as a spoke had fallen out dur¬ 
ing the day and the wheel was falling apart. 
He looked around for something to insert for 
a temporary brace for the wheel, while his wife 
busied herself with the evening meal. 
The pioneer’s child, while romping around, 
found the jawbone of a moose, which she held 
up to her father, who by this time almost de¬ 
spaired of finding something with which to 
mend his wagon, and was delighted to find that 
the jawbone exactly fitted the place of the 
missing spoke. The Indian thereafter named 
this part of the river “The Place Where the 
White Man Found the Moose Jaw.” This ac¬ 
counts for the town’s unforgettable name.—
