The guide bids us stay where we are, while he goes to a smaller window still further on, through which he thrusts blue lights and blazing rolls, disclosing inde- scribable wonders to our gaze : Igniting magnesium (of which it is well to have a supply, as it is not furnished by the guides), we discern the' floor far below us, about an acre in area, its general level about 90 feet lower than the window. A small pit in it leads to a body of water 12 feet deep, making the total distance to the lowest point 117 feet.
