oNE OF THE oueEResr OF LAKES.
Puzzle to Geologists In tho Blue Grass
Region of Kentucky.

Sinking creek, in the northwestern
part OF this county, is not q running
stream or creek, as one would imagine
from its name, but it is IL large lake,
which forms only in the spring of the
year, when thaws and rainfall produce
an oyerabundance Of water The forma-
ton OF lake covering over 200 acres
OF land and sometimes over 800 comes
with the suddenness Of a rise in the
Mississippi river
The lake is formed in hollow en-
tlrely surrounded by gradually inclined
hills of blue grass fields and meadows.
These hills are ut first imperceptible to
the eye on account of the gradual and
even slope of the surrounding country.
a closer examination of the country
shows that for miles around it all grad
ually mclines to the place where tho
springtimc lake forms, but the place it
self is merely n slightly rolling tract of
land, over which various fences, trees
and strawberries are seen. AS the lake
depends OH the rainfall for its supply of
water, it is larger some years than 9th
ers and has been known to cover $50
acres OF land and the water all the way
from to 30 feet deep This body
of water is a veritablc 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 Il creek or hollow. There is
no cave or sink hole on any of the land
which is covered by water through
which the water may escape. Yet with
III one month this immense amount Of
water disappears. After the disappear

the lake has never been determinated,
although various biologists have visited
the scene. 1t is we'll known fact that

CROWNED AT OLYMPIA.
Honors Paid TO the victors In the Greci
Athletic Contests.

Honors Paid TO the victors In the Grccian
Athletic Contests.
Immediately after each contest the
successful athlete appeared before the
Judges and received palm branch, and
his name was heralded before the as
sembled throng. But at the close Of all
the contests, on the final day OF the fes-
tival, the much coveted prizes were dis
tributed. Into the altis at early morn
ing streamed the long, joyous procession,
headed by tho judges, the religious and
CIVIL authorities. and the public guests,
escorting the now brilliantly clad ath-
letes and victorious horses bedecked with
flowers. The song they sang was song
of victory by Archilochus, which began:
Hail to thee, powerful Hercules, con-
queror III the games, and to thee also,
lolaus, both famed for the spear! Te-
nella, tenella! All hail to the victor!"
A little boy from the priestly class
had already cut with golden knife
some branches from the olive tree plant
ed by Hercules, and crowns made from
these branches had been exposed in the
temple of Hera upon n beautiful chrys-
elephantlne table made bye Colotes. The
crowns were then brought to the temple
OF Aeus, where, before the representa-
tlves of all Greece, the judges, clad in
purple, crowned the heads of the victori-
Gus athletes. This Olympic crown, as
the supreme reward of Greek ambition,
is well expressed in tho story of dag
oras. Himself Il victor in the games, he
returned i'll his old age to Olympia with
his two SONS. Both bore off prize, and
then ran and caught their father on
their shoulders as the crowd of pilgrims
pelted them with flowers ode, dag
oras, y they cried, for thou hast moth
ing moro to live for!" With n sigh of
joy tho old man expired.
The browning of Olympia did not end
the victors' glory. Their statues were
made by the most famous sculptors, their
portraits painted by the most sllillful
artists their deeds glorified in verse.

THE VORAClOUs CARP.
Clever Ruses by Which 1t Is Exterminat-
Ing Black Bass

The German carp is vicious fish aft
er II fashion, and the kind of brains it
has is described by w. i. Meehan in
The Fishing Gazette. Says Mr.. Meehan /:
"Onc day in early June in 1898 or
1894, i'll Montgomery county, Pa, was
watching the spawning bed of black bass
i'll Perkiomen creek from q bridge over
head. when along came number Of
large German carp One made feint
toward the nest. and when attacked by
the black bass fed While the bass was
in pursuit the remainder of the carp
darted in and in twinkling devoured
the spawn in the nest. / waded out to
the bass nest later and found scarcely an
egg i'll it was told afterward of n
similar case in the same stream"
The Pennsylvania report Of the state
commissioners Of fisheries says that
There are few fishes moro heartily an
athematized by American anglers than
the carp. They fail to see redeeming
feature In the creature, and charge it with
many bad ones, the most serious Of
which is that it is more inveterate
spawn eater than the eel, and the an
glers fear that it will in few years
practically externinate all the valuable
food and game fishes despite the efforts
Of the various fish commissioners
The carp furnishes the angler little
or no sport, because it refuses to take the
ordinary lures offered. It's flesh is not
popular with American fish eaters, rs
it is in European countries, where as
early as 1927 it was cultivated in Aus
tria.
1t is not known exactly who first in
troduced carp into American waters. nor
exactly when twas done, but Mr.. Poffe,
Californian, some time before 1870,
is believed to have been the man. He is
regarded in much the same light as the
introducer of the English sparrow into
tho United States. and the misguided
men who turned English rabbits on to
Australia.
