Of tho lake Is strongly impregnated

curious species OF grub breed by
millions. These grubs go through
their various transformations and Il.
nally emerge US short.winged, heavy.
bodied flies, very fat and oily. They
live but few days, dying and falling
into the lake In such numbers as to
be frequently washed ashore in layers
more than n foot thick. The oily
substance Of the dead flies blends
with tho alkali of tho borax and soda,
and the result Is layer OF pure soap,
corresponding In thickness to the
drift strata of the dead flies. foot
deep Of the flies making layer OF
soap nearly an inch thick. These
strata, repeated'year after year, have
formed the celebrated Soap banks

she spoke aloud.
During these years she has tried ev-

suited. None of them could account
for her peculiar malady. All of them
agreed that some day she would talk;
when. they did not know. and what
would bring about u cure they were

"You do not know how strange It
seemed TO be not to be able to talk"
said Miss Fuller. "Try as hard rs
