ROIroMLrss LAKES.

Near the summit of mountain IN Per-
tuga, in the Province of Bera, is situated
the Lake Esura-tho waters OF which are
Of dark glecnsh hue. Although no fish
es have been ever seen in this lake, yet
fragments Of ships, such as bro
ken masts, spars, &c, have been found
floating on it, though inland, as is its posi-.
ton. This circumstance has very natu-
rally led to the belief that it communicates
with the ocean by some subterraneous pas
saga belief which has been still further
strengthened from the fact that the face Of
the lake becomes either rough or smooth
as the ocean is found 10 be agl!ated or
calm; and also that, during stormy wea-
Their, it produces a rumbling noise which
NAV be heard at distance of six or eight
miles. 1t is a notorious fact, that to the
present day, though frequently tried by the
curious, It's bottom has not been discover
ed. At short distance from RoSlnere,
in Switzerland, a remarkable spring is
known TO arise from the centre of a natu-
raj basin Of more than thirteen square f..
IN its area. OF the power which operates
on it we may form some conception when
it is known to force, with much violence,
a column of water of eighteen feet circu-
lar far above its surface. Although tried
by the ingenious and persevering virtuo-
soes in natural philosophy, its depth has
not been yet asccrtained thus leaving to
conjecture the only plausible conclusion
that this spring is the outlet of some ac-
cumulating subterraneous lake which has
