4 nloodad.Red Lake.

Lake Morat, In Switzerland, has
queer habit Of turning red about two or
three times every ten years. 1t is a
pretty lake, like most Of the sheets of
water In that picturesque country, and
Its peculiar freak Is attributed to a dis
position to celebrate the slaughter OF
Burgundians under Charles the Bold
on June 81, 1478. But the French say
that It bushes for the conduct Of the
SWISS, who In that battle gave the Bur
gundians no quarter. This year 1t was
redder than ever, and had a sinister ap-
| pearancs when the setting sun tllumin
ated its waves.
This phenomenon, of course, has Its
legend. The old fishermen Of the lake,
| who catch enormous fish called silures
| that weigh between twenty-five and
forty Kilograms, say when they see the
| waters Of the lake reddening that 1t ID
the blood OF the Burgundians. As a

| the Burgundians killed In the battle
| were thrown into the lake, while others
were tossed into q grave filed with

angered the Burgundlans soldiers Of
