The following is the full text of the paper read by Prof. Panton on the above subject at a meeting of the Guelph Scion• tifie Society: Some inns ago while on a trip to Rock. wood, with studouts of Geology from the Agricultural College, for the purpose of showing thein some examples of how water acts upon limestone I was forcibly impressed by a most interesting series of Potholes found in that district, not far from where the somewhat well known caves are seen. So impressive were these phenomena, that for three consecutive holidays, the students made their way to Rockwood, and on two of the occasions, were accom- panied by myself. A thorough examination of the locality was made, and data collected, which I purpose placing before you this evening, and which should be interesting to a Society that has been established for the purpose of developing the history of our neighborhood whether it be written upon the rooks or pages of a more perishable character. In treating the subject, the following divisions are naturally ,presented: 1. The location of the Caves and Potholes; 2. A description of them; 8. An explana- tion of their formation ; 4. Theories con. earning the origin of the phenomena, that caused their formation. 1 -LOCATION. Rockwood is a shall village on the line of the. Grand Trunk Railway, situated about 8 miles east of Guelph, and 42 west of Toronto. Leaving the station and pro- ceeding in the direction of the village, you very soon observe that you are in a place well named-Rookwood, from the amount of rock in the vicinity. Alpng the river, which passes through the vill• age are striking exposures of rook, at some places escarpments 50 to 70 feet high made up largely of massive layers of Magnesias limestone, belonging to the Niagara formation of the Silurian sys- tem, Fossils are not numerous, Clinoid stems are by far the most common; a few shells occur, and some fragments of coral, especially the genus Faoosites. The fragmentary remains of the Ortho - cores are seen at some places, bat the fossils are neither common enough, or so well defined as to work up the zeal of young geologists. However, after you have passed over the bridge that leads to some mills and the large quarries and lime kilns near by, you reach localities well suited to arouse enthusiasm in the minds of young students in science, The presence of three large lime kilns demon. etrate, that this stone produces excellent lime, exceeding strong mud well adapted for building purposes. As you pass westward, along by the quarries, you obtain a fine view of the escarpment on both sides of the so called river and grand monuments of denuda- tion are before yon. In the distance about half a mile is the 'Binnacle" a large isolated piece of high rock, standing midway in the upper part of the mill pond. But at your side on the south side of the road along which you are travel- ling, your attention is arrested by a great hole at the base of the rocks. This is the entrance to a cave, which on examination proves to be of more than passing inter- est. In a line almost southeast of this and only a short distance away, but on the top off the bluff, you reach a pothole which rivals some that for years have been a great source of attraction to tour- ists stopping at Lucerne, Switzerland. Woodouts of these are scattered in every direction, and no one can say that he has made a proper visit to Lucerne unless he has visited the "Glacier Garden" and ob- served the seven potholes, that are silent monuments of glacial phenomena long since ended -Yet here at Rockwood we can get a series of potholes larger in some respects and more unique than those at which so many thousands gaze in wonder eaob passing year. The formation and origin of these we will consider subse- quently. 9 --DESCRIPTION OF TRE CAVES. The entrance to the main save is 15 feet high and obstructed by great masses of rook, which have fallen from the roof. From the top of the cave to the summit of the overhanging rock is 40 feet of solid dolomitic limestone. Proceeding into the cavern you observe that the roof ie very irregular, sinking at times to 5 feet, then rising to 7 and sinking again. At the mouth it is 29 feet wide and narrows to a width of 168 at a dlsteno's of 86 feet from the entrance. Here it is only 5 feet high but on passing this point you reach another chamber, which widens and has at the left aide a small chamber eight by six feet, but soon narrowing and dipping down till the cave seems to terminate at a point 80 feet farther than the narrow part and 06 feet from the entrance. This is as much of the cave as most visitors see, but being accompanied by students of more than ordinary pluck, enderaaoe and zeal I was snocessful in securing data which will enable you to form some in- teresting oonclusione about this compar- atively unknown spot. Light ends here. A lantern was obtained and entering one by one a passage scarcely large enough for a human being to go through, for 8 feet, Messrs. Craig, Raynor, Patterson, Sharman, Zdvit2, Bishop and Fee, worm- ed themselves through into another cave, shrouded. in Egyptian darkness and gloom. This extends 10 feet to the left and 15 to the right i.e., has a diameter one way of 25 feet and 131 the other, To tho loft and right they found a pillar not far from where they entered ; these supports seem to have boon formed by the rest of the rook which once made up the solid rock being carried away At the extremity on the right hand side the doer was very muddy, and two email caves extending still farther; ono near ilio passage by whie17 they entered, the other at the opposite side; the former three feet by four, tbr, latter three fent at the opening and tapering to a point and this gloomy chamber, not high enough to proceed comfortably, for it was only about five feet in the centre, they saw stalactites and stalagmites, en7Ile 1,1 theta a foot in length and four to five inches in diameter at the thickest place, The floor of this chamber also dips slightly down, Directly across they mune upon another pillar-lflte structure, with a passage 00 each side, opening into another apart. limit, where the roof was act over three or four r fent thigh, and gradually narrow - oil so an to reader farther progress 11111• cult. This extended ten feet across and about the same in width, On the apposite aide from the entrance, there is an opening leading still farther, but the passage gradually narrows until farther advance- ment is stopped. Through this opening Mr. Raynor passed, and threaded his way 13 fent, and reached a point 1108 feet from the entrance to the main cave. The floor of the last chamber inclines slightly, but in this prolongation the ele- vation is considerable. Sounding this last floor seemed to indicate that it was hollow beneath, and cram the fact that the prolongation of the former uhanlber, near where this was entered dips down- ward, it is supposed a passage from it continues and likely ))asses under this last floor. All through these darkened caverns a good deal of mud was encount- ered. Water trickling down the sides and dropping from the roof lidded to the gloom of these darkened recesses, where daylight has never yet penetrated, and whose walls dimly lighted by the flioker- iug light of the lantern, presented a somewhat weird, unattractive appear- ann. 1Vhen the explorers emerged from these inner recesses of darkness, their clothes presented quite a changed appear- ance and indicated that much of their travelling must have been done iu a somewhat menial position, and that they had been much associated with mud and water within. A little to the left of the entrance to the main cavo there is an opening, which leads to another series of chambers, extending to a distance of 59 feet, At a point in the vicinity of the first narrow place in the main cave there is n narrow passage leading into this series, in which the apartments are not so com- plicated, and being dry are much more easily examined. The first is some 25 feet long and 12 wide, narrowing to a passage into the second, 10 feet across, and opening into the main cave, The general direotion of the main cave is E. by S. E., to the narrow portion, then S. L. by S., this o0urae is maintain- ed till the end is reached. The roof through the whole series is exceedingly irregular, and the floor in many parts covered with fragments of the rock, which have fallen from the roof. Stalactites and stalagmites are found only in the inner chambers, and the latter seem more common than the former. Some may have formad in the outer, but have likely been carried away by visitors, The diagrams before you will give a clear idea of the arrangements of these subterranean passages and chambers, and their relative position to each other. The whole series may be termed one cave, consisting of six well defined cav- erns, and as a sort of expansion on the sides of there four small ones. [TO DR CONTINUED Washington Letter. (From our Regular Correspondent,) WAsmxoTose, Jsjy 20, 1888. The tariff bill will probably pats the Rouse by a majority of fifteen or sixteen to -morrow. Mr. Randall's absence will hardly have any offeot upon the result beyond the mere loss of his vote against the bill. It breaks up any organization there night otherwise be of the little band of Democratio protectionists. Very few Democrats will vote against the bill. Anderson of Iowa, Smith of Wisconsin, and Fitch of New York, among ties Re- publicans, are expected to vote for the bill. There is some doubt as to how Mr. Knuth Nelson will vote, but it is thought he will go with his party. Mr. Williams, of Ohio, though he voted against free wool, will probably vote for the bill. The Senate will probably have the bill on Monday, and a month is not a long allowanoe of time for them to consider it. Mr. Mill's opening speech, which started the general debate, was delivered on the 17th of April, and between that time and the 19th of May, when the general debate closed, the Domoorats had made seventy-one set speeches and the Republicans eighty-three. Bound to- gether, these speeches make four' large volumes. Not as many speeches, of course, will be made in the Senate, but several Senators have signified their de- termination to have a full discussion of the subject, and probably enough speech- es will be made to colsumo two weeks. It is estimated in a general way that two weeks' time will bo consumed in the com- mittee before the bill is reported. Reports and opinions differ as to how much progress the Senate finance com- mittee has made toward formulating a substitute for the Mills bill. It is de- clared by some that they have such a substitute already in form. The fact appears to bo, however, that while they have collected a great mass of inform- ation, and know in general what they want to do, there is among them a wide difference of opinion as to details, and that there is yet lnuoh work before them. It is still a matter of speculation as to whether they will ever be able to agree perfectly. Some of the members of the party conneil advise that they make no effort to pass a bill, but merely report a sub. etitute, drawing the issue, and let it lie on the calendar until next December. The prevailing sentiment, however, appears to be in favor of sitting until they pass a bill and get the matter into conference. There is no idea that an agreement between the Iwo houses could be reached, but is proposed to carry the thing on until the inability to enact a law is demonstrated. If this latter plan is followed out it is generally agreed that there will be no adjournment before the 27th of August or the 1st of September, Probably the only thing that could bring about an earlier adjournment would be the postponement of the tariff question until December, Tile ongroseing clerks of the house of Representatives have boon following close. ly the progress of the hill in the house, and have now the bill in such shape that its orlgrossment will bo oomploto and the bill ready for transmission to tiro Senate as soon 0,5 the lima ,etc: is taken upon its passage. THE BRUSSELS DUST Tho oeeretary of the Civil Service Com- mission, in a recent official tour visited twenty-eight of the tliirty.seven elassilieil post•olliees of tho country and make an examination as to the manner in which the civil.service rules aro carried aut. Ifo will prepare a detailed report of the re- sults Of his observations. IIe says that ho found a8 a rule that postmasters were applying the rules intelligently, and obey ing the spirit as well as the letter of the law. In several oases postmasters, he said, make it a rule to appoint to a vacancy the first porsel of the list of eligibles, voluntary depriving themselves of the privilege permitted them of choos- ing from the first three. In some of the largo offices, too, effective systems have been introduced of keeping a record and JULY :?7, 1855, :.'Stia17rl7A3Stpi&^• ...

The Senate amendment to the sundry civil bill making provision for tho run- ning of the elevator in the Washington Monument meets a long -felt want, which bas frequently been presented to the con- sideration of Congress in behalf of the general public. Thousands of visitors to the Capitol within tate last few months have given forcible vent to their dis- appointment and exasperation ovor the discovery that tho Government, after mewing the people of the United States to build the highest structure in the world, has shut them out not only from the magnificent view at its top but from all access to its interior. The few thous. and dollars will now probably be pro- vided which are necessary to enable the American people to reach the top of the straotue which they have built at a cost of over a million. L Perth Comity Notes. Stratford is to have a "citizens band." Monday, July 80th, is Stratford's Civic holiday. Mrs. (Rev.) Maitland, of Ingersoll, was saved front drowning at Beaumaris, Mus- koka, a few days ago, by Rev. Mr. Laird, recently of Woodstock. She was former. ly a Miss Robb, of Stratford. While H. J. Hurlburt's children, of Mitchell, were playing with the lawn mower, Georgie, the oldest one, got the thumb of Isis left hand into the knives and left about half of it there. Thos. Freeborn, one of the most re- spectable farmers in the county of Perth, and well known in the county of Water- loo, was fined $60 at Hanover recently for applying a cancer remedy to two parties near that village. The ingredients that M. Freeborn uses in making the plaster he grows on his own farm. He has treated many cases successfully dur- ing the past twenty years. i�(altoaz. Water is getting very scarce in this locality. Rev. W. Torrance has been on the sick list. His work had to be supplied last Sabbath. Harvest is going to pan out better than some people think although spring grain is very short, generally speaking. Hay was well saved. Itis hinted that there is a probability of us losing Rev. F. Ballantyne, M. A., from Walton, as his health has been none too good for the past year. Wo hope he will be able to remain, however, as be is a zealous and efficient worker in the vineyard. 0d1.20l' '1VCION TAILOR SHOP +40104di 0N,'t1't1.10404,n,rsrormu.,n First -Class Suits, either Bound or Unbound, made for $4.00. 8"A Fit Guaranteed.
