k4Ast~ q CA.lt on LAKE Michigan.
On June Is there was light, warm
shower at Wangoshance Lighthouse,
which is in Lake Michigan, about twen-
ty.fve miles west of Mackinac. I'm
mediately following the shower some
men who were at work on the fog-horn
building heard rattling and crashing
over head and fastened out to learn the
cause. The roof of the building and the
pier of the lighthouse had in an instant
been covered to the depth of an inch
with a dry, chalk-like substance. The
surface of the lake, too, as far as they
could see, was covered with a like sub
stance, which the waves dashed into
foam. The men at the lighthouse were
scared for time, but as no harm came
Tier sopnfbetan to look about foi an ex-
pianatfon. Two Of them applied their
tongues repeatedly to the stuff, and the
experiments made them seriously i'll. 1t
smells strongly OF lye, but seems to have
much less specific gravity than potash
