Text Appearing Before Image:
curious shapes andindescribable grouping of thousands ofothers seem to be the handiwork ofNature in a playful mood. Fantastic,grotesque, beautiful, weird, grand andsuperb, are words which find expressionon the lips of every one who gazes uponthe treasures of this house not madewith hands. During the winter of 1897 and 1898new portions of this underground won-der, heretofore unexplored, were openedand made accessible to visitors. In this newly developed section thehigh arching and richly ornamenteddomes found in other parts of the Cav-erns are a leading attraction, but thedecorations of those here found areunique and surpass any previously dis-covered. Instead of the chandelier ef-fect, with its bewildering and glitteringarray of translucent pendants whichcharacterize the ceiling of the BallRoom, Campbells Hall and others, thesurface here is a mosaic of rich patchesof formations like seaweed and coral,in varied hues, from rich seal brownand deep salmon to the most delicatetint of rose.
