rHE sopA LAKES OF MEXICO.

The lake of TesCoco, a short distance
from the capital Of Mexico, and communi-
eating with the city by means of a canal, is
one Of the greatest natural Curiosities of
that country. In the center Is a barren
island, with a hill composed Of volcanic
rock and known as FL Penon de los Banos,
or rock of the baths, rising from the sur
face. This desolate spot rs famous for the
manufacture Of crude soda, or tequesquite,
manufacture not more remarkable for its
primitive method than its vast resources.
The earth Of the valley adjoining the lake
il impregnated with a species of soda, and
Lake Tescoco itself is a concentrated solu-
ton of soda. 1t contains an immense de-
post of the salts of sodium, chiefly the clo-
ride Of sodium and the carbonate Of soda.
The lake has great surface and small depth,
and with rainy season of four mouths
and dry season Of eight, its range of ex-
pansion and contraction is from 220 square
miles at its maximum 10 so square miles
at its minimum. A calculation Of the
contents of the lake made in 1851, when
the lake was considerably contracted, and
the proportion Of solid matter was ascer-
tanned to be not less than eighteen per cent.
The Penon soda stills are not numerous,
but illustrate the Euue pTlhCiPle al "OLA
all around the lake. They are simply
mounds of accumulated dark, blush mold,
on which large round holes are made here
and there. In these holes bags are placed,
and in the bag the impregnated, frosty
looking earth found every morning
| along the the lake. Over this earth
water is poured, and the liquor which
sinks through the dirt, and is drained from
the bag, passes into vessel below. The
solution thus caught h svaporated oyer 4
FIRE. Thisis the whole process, which is
the same which was used in the days OF
Montezuma. With this primitive system OF
manufacture, the lake, according to the es-
Inmates Of the School Of Mining in the City
Of Mexico, produces annually l,6S00Oo
pounds of Crysialized or pure soda, and 81
$4,000 pounds Of tequesquite of impure
soda. .r

A WOMAN IN MANS CLOTHING
THINNING AWAY WITH A NEGRO.

Yesterday morning, on the arrival Of
the Georgia train, Lieutenant Murphy was
at the depot, and his suspicious were
aroused by what appeared to be white
man and negro together, very sociable.
He watched them awhile, and his keen eyes
soon satisfied him that it was a woman dis
guised as a man, and arrested both. Soon
after the arrest a telegram was received
from the girls father, stating that she and
the negro had left Union Point the night
before, and asking that they be stopped.
The girl, whose degradation is so deep
that we refrain from giving her name, says
that she had been intimate with the negro
for some months, and that she was in
condition that would have soon disclosed d
the fact to her parents, and runaway TO pre-
vent the discovery. They were to go to
Nashville, Tennessee, and marry, 80 the
negro says. This she denies, but says she
loves him better than any man she knows.
Thenegro is a black, ugly, kinky beaded
man, about thirty, and fair sample OF his
race. The girl is about eighteen, with
homely features and deprayed look.
) Since the above was in type the father OF
the girl has arrived in the city, and will
return with her to-day to his home IN

TO SERPENTs AND A Gaia SIM
..E GUI.AR CASE. ..

The Messenger AIgerien relates the fol-
lowing curious story; A very singular
occurrence took place in the warehouse of
The Messageries Imperiales at Stora, A
large case containing two serpents direrted
from Batna to the superintendent Of the
Geological Gardens in Marseilles was de-
posited in the warehouse for shipment.
Whilst there cat, ignorant Of what the
case contained, got into it. No sooner had
it done 30 than the reptiles sprang at 1t
with the rapidity Of an arrow, and squeezed
il to death in their immense coils. They
then relaxed their hold, and commenced
the process Of swallowing. The male ser
pent seized the dead cat by the head end,
the female swallowing the tail end. Ii is
well known that when serpents take into
their mouth a substance of certain size
The conformation of the teeth and jaws Is
such that they connot let go their hold. In
the present csse both snakes we're thus
brought face to face, the process Of deglutl-
tion was arrested, and it became doubtful
how the matter would end. At length the
female snake made a desperate effort to
swallow the other, and in doing SO was
choked. In corToboration of the above
facts the animals have been preserved in
| spirits of wine. The directors Of the Zoo
| logical Garden Of Marseilles are going 10
bring an action against the Messageries
! Company for the loss of the serpents, while
I be owner Of the cal demands that It's. skin
at least should be given up to him as
ma, ter Of curiosity.
