cui we'd n few da s. fishing in the water, Of Cen
tt'l Ncw York. Tho lrst place visited was Can
and1ieu1 Lake. 1t is about sixteen miles long,
varying from ono TO four miles in width and
surrounded by hills and mountains. IL shures
aro winding, and llncl with vineyards and
beautiful farms. The water IL ot singular purity
aud clcnrncss, and, In many placcs, u unt1oWn
depth close to the shore. Bodies OF persons
drowned In these waters never rise to the sur
face. A young farmer drove his horse, attached
to buggy, into the lake two years ago for
the purpose OF watering him. Tho horse,
driver, and wagon disappeared beneath the
water. Long lines with graphing ho ks attach
ed were used day after day in vain attempts t.
recover the body Of the man. Not even trace
of the wagon was ever dis ovcred. The bodies
Of other persons drowned have never been re-
covered. The water s icy cold.
THE FISH
