THE BIoGRAPHER.

graphical sketches of men and
women eminent in all departments
of activity. Subjects are chosen

Memo Lake.

A rat paper in Carson commenting
upon an article in the Lundy Under
describing Mono lake, says it is a
waste of alkaline waters with its sur
roundings of sand, volcanic ash and
the everlasting obsidian-4a spot on the
face of the earth which seems to have
been singled out by some imp of Nature
for special and spiteful disfayor."
The Carson man has evidently never
been there. There are few prettier
spots on tins continent than the mouth
of Lee Vining creek, and the beauties
of Virginia, Rough and Mil creeks
are seldom surpassed. True, great
portion of tie country surrounding
the lake is bleak and bare, but the
lovlness of the spots named are alone
sufficient to offset even the sterile
barrenness of the Carson editors brain.

from the sanitary reasons why this

TIL. Sea serpen, In Wakes Lake.

In former times, before the discovery
of the sea serpent in Walker Lake, it
was the custom Of the Walker River
Reservation Piutes 10 suspend their
dead on plisble willow boughs on the
margin of the pellucid and alkaline
pond. For some mouths after the
settlement of Hawthorne the remains
of the sacred dead mystenously disap-
peared and it was thought to be the
work of the encroaching and barbarous
pale faces. But one day, about year
ago. two Indians, while fishing At the
north end of the lake, were startled ut
seeing an immense sea serpent, with
the regulation saucer. shaped eyes and
barrel shaped head, rise out of the
water and, after lashing its tail in
sport until the water for miles around
was turned into sea of seething foam,
suddenly, with loud kissing sound,
disappear. The next morning a de-
tachment of the reservation camping
in the crossword forest at this end of
the lake, were awakened by horrible,
SOni-Snrlnklng SrIccCu. LOOkluS Out,
they plainly discerned two monster
serpents fighting for the inanimate
body of Il defunct pappoose hanging
over the edge of the lake. The battle
was continued for some time and
finally extended to dry land, where
one Of the ghoul reptiles was seriously
wounded. After crouching in terror
while, the Indians looked out to find
the pappoose gone and one of the
antagonists worming its painful way
across the alkali fat. A well-directed
yolley soon put an end to his misery
and the Indians, taking possession of
the remains, presented them to Charley
Kimball rs an addition to his cabinet
of curiosities. Since then the Indians,
not having the same reverence for the
serpens as the Hindoos have for the
crocodiles of the Ganges, have burned
their dead.
