A Submerged City.

A strange discovery is reported from
the Lake of Geneva, Switzerland. A tour
list having lost his trunk, two divers were
employed to search for it. While they
were below water they found what they
supposed to be village, since covered
by the lake. Their statement led to an
investigation of the spot by the munich
pal authorities, who took measures to as
certain the truth of the extraordinary ac-
count of the divers. On covering the
placid surface with oil, these latter were
able to distinguish the plan of town,
streets, squares and detached houses
marking the bed of the lake. The rudy
hue which characterized them led the
observers to suppose that the buildings
had been covered with the famous YER
million cement which was used by the
Celts, Cimbri and the early Gauls. There
are about 200 houses arranged over an
oblong surface, near the middle of which
is space more open, supposed to have
been used for public assemblages. At
the eastern extremity lies large square
tower, which was taken for a rock. A
superficial investigation seems to indi-
cate that the construction of these build
ing date from some centuries before our
era. The council of Vaud has decided
to have the site of the dwellings, enclosed
by jetty stretching from the land, and
to drain off the water, so as to bring to
light what promises to be one of the most
interesting archaeological discoveries Of
our day.
