The lake cov- CTS about 100 aces, and Is higher ia the middle than at the edges. Near the center the black pitch is semi. liquid, but toward the sides a crust, in. tersected with Assures, covers the sur face, and on this crust e man can walk. although when he stands for a time the crust gradually sinks around him. forming a kind of basin some yards across. Between 80.000 and 90,O00 tons of asphaltum are removed from ths lake annually.
