The following strange account has been going

LAKE OF GENEVA, August Is.
The extraordinary heat which has prevailed
almost without interruption for nine weeks, has
produced phenomena in the countries bordering
on cur lake, to which there is no parallel on re-
cord. At Geneva spontaneous combustion
took place in the church-yard of Plain Palais,
though IN rather damp plain. The high grass
on the graves, the cypress and fir took fire,
and 1t was necessary to bring the engines ex-
tinguish ii, which was effected but not without
difficulty. more remarkable event took place
in Savoy. near the village Of Magland, province
OF Faucigny.) All at 1nce the alarm bell was
sounded, not only in the village, but the Whole
surrounding country, and in the valley, TO suns

dangerous fire of kind hitherto unheard OF;
for 1t was not houses, or Trees or heath that was
burning, but the roots of the trees two feet under

forest The fear Of the subterraneous fire had
such an effect on the inhabitants that many wis

into the forest, they remained exposed to the
scorching rays of the sun, generally 40 degrees
of Reaumar-ll2 deg. Fahrenheit] in the mas
ked plain, where the wells began to dry up
This subterraneous fire is closely connected with
the flames which at the same time issued from the
earth in several places in Lausanne. The rain
which came few days ago, and considerably
lowered the temperature, seems to have checked
this fire, though many persons fear that the rain
