ONE OF THE QUEEREsT OF LAKES
A Puzzle to GeOIogists in the Blue
Grass Region of Kentucky.

NAAA NAlO NiiClulldll ENQUIRER.
Nicholasville, March 27.-Sinking creek
in the northwestern part of this countv
is not running stream or creek, as one
would imagine from its name, but it is
large lake, which forms only in the
spring of the year. when thaws and rain
fall produce an overabundance of wa
ter. The formation of a lake covering
over 200 acres of land and sometimes
over 3OO comes with the suddenness of
a rise in the Mississippi river.
The lake is formed in a hollow entirely
surrounded by gradually inclined hills of
blue grass field and meadows. These hills
are at first imperceptible to the eye on
account of the gradual and even slope
of the surrounding country. A closer ex-
animation of the country shows that for
miles around it all gradually inclines to
the place where the spring time lake forms
but the place itself is merely a slightly
rolling tract Of land, over which various
fences, trees and strawberries are seen
As the lake depends on the rainfall for
its supply of water, it is larger some years
than others, and has been known to cover
5OO acres OF land, and the water all the
way from five to thirty feet deep. This
body of water is a veritable Mecca for
duck hunters at the time of the year when
ducks pass through Kentucky on their
way to the northern lakes.
There is no outlet above the earth in the
way of creek or hollow; there is no cave
or Slnk-nOle on any OF the land which is
covered by water through which the water
may escape; yet within one month this i'm
mense amount of water disappears After
the disappearance the earth. which is
covered, instead of being wet marshy
place, as is the case of an ordinary spring.
time rise in water, is a beautiful. fertile
blue grass vale over which blooded Ken
lucky stock roam during the summer
months and fatten on the rich pasturage
No appearance of a marsh or water
weeds, etc, is found after the lake has
gone.
Exactly what causes the sinking of
the lake has never been determined, al
though various biologists have visited the
scene. 1t is a well known fact that quick
silver thrown into a pond or lake will
cause it to soon sink, and it is claimed
that the water forming this lake. as it
is drained down from the surrounding
hills, brings with a composition of some
kind similar to mercury or quicksilver in
it's e--T1on on sinking a lake, and that this
Most of the lake-when it exists-is on
the farm of Mr.. ]. H. Blackford a noted
trotting horse breeder. Spectators have
visited Sinking creek several times with
a view to erecting a hotel and making it
a summer resort if they could devise any
means whereby they could prevent the
lake from sinking. 1t is said that another
effort will be made this spring by a COM
pany to be formed soon to preserve the
lake, and that a noted geologist will
watch the formation and disappearance
of Sinking creek with this end in view.

About Encores.

From the Gentleman's Magazine
Sims Reeves is hard on what he calls
the vicious encore system" He char
acterizes it as a preposterous piece Of
dishonesty, of which all honest persons
should be ashamed. The nuisance, he
says rightly, seeks to take a shabby ad-
vantage of the suffering professional; and
it is to be regretted that few of our per-
formers possess sufficient courage to re-
turn to the platform, bow politely and in
dictate firmly, No! Your encore-monger
cares nothing about symmetry or bal
ance, or cohesiveness, whether the oc-
casion be the lyric stage, the oratoria
performance the benefit and ordinary
concert, or the ballad concert.
He wants to hear more than he has
bargained for, and If his demand is not
yielded to he will moot and bray and
hiss, when an attempt is made to per-
form the next piece. as II he belonged
to the long-eared quadrupeds or feath-
cred biped tribe. And then we have oc-
casionally what the newspapers term "a
scene'-an exhibition Of '"Arryism" that
disgraces our boosted civilizat ion If
managers, artists and the musical pub
lie would but think this matter over and
determine TO stamp out the nuisance one
great blot on our English musical per-
fOrmances might be effaced Unfortu-
nately. IL is not yet quite certain whether
encores are more distasteful to the great
majority Of performers than they are TO
a large section Of the concert-going pub
lie.

New Brunswick April 1.-Noah Raby,
who claims to be 124 years old, celebrated

Raby tells the story of his life in this way:

slaves would all belong to me- 1t was a
good scheme, and for while went all
right. | was madly in love but became
afraid TO tell her how much l thought Of
her. My half-brOther came to see me one
day and he told me the only way to get
over IL was to go to sea. He prevailed
upon me to join the Constitution. Some
time after when / was ashore on leave Of
absence, l went back to see the widow
and then told her my feelings. Faint

I did not marry her because the man who

BRUNSWICK NOTES.
Injury to Steam Tug-A Chastity
Find.

Brunswick, Ca, April 11.-Yesterday az
ternoon as the steam tug Dauntless was
being lowered from the ways at Breis-
neck's marine railway the supports on one
side gave way and she fell over, slipping
about ten feet on the ways. Five dents
were made in the sides by heavy tim
bers, but as far as could be aScertained
there was no serious strain on the ma
chinery incurred The damage of lift
ing the Dautless back and repairing her
from this accident, including loss of time
from business, will probably amount to
between 5000 and 50, 900.

vealed coffin and skeleton of which no
one has any previous knowledge. The
embankment is on the Plant system rail-

Of the case and no one can make 1t
any different. SO when either side
talk over the matter they can take
that as q basis. The matter of any
other city taxes is something the
people can put on their own shout
ders or not, just as they desire. For
the SIGNALS part it would certainly
object to having to pay much more
taxes under present conditions, and
if those limits should be extended
would oppose any general expendi-
ture in excess of the $500 reverting
TO that fund, or even that much; and
oppose any road expenditure in ex-
cess Of the $500 year already being
collected, except rs some of the gen
eral fund surplus might be appropri-
ated for that purpose, and if others
feel the same way, we can't see who
would tax us.
One thing though, we don't think
it is just law for towns, where wealth
is conferred, to have the privilege of
keeping all its road money within its
own little limits. They are able and
ought to be compelled to help main
tain the country roads. Country
road districts ought to get aid from
the money paid by towns. But such
is the law and until changed will
remain so.
