A Remarkable Lake.

The most remarkable body Of water
in the world lies in the vicinity Of the
Colorado river, in southern California.
In this region Of ugly volcanoes, desc.
late wastes and Shiny ;swamps, the
etrangest phenomenon Of all is what
the naturalists call Lake OF ink.
No other description fits as we'll.
The strange black fluid that forms
the lake bears no resemblance to water.
The pool of ink is situated about half
mile from volcano. 1t ia about an
acre in area. The surface ia coated with
gray ashes from the volcanoes to the
thickness of about six inches, thus con.
cealing it's real nature. 4
Experience has proved that the black
fluid of the lake is not poisonous. II
acts as a dye, and cotton goods soaked
In it keep their color for months, even
when exposed to the sun. They also 40
quire stiffness similar to that produced
by weak starch The fluid has been
analysed, but its component parts have
not been made known. AS to1the source
of the supply of the lake, nothing def
mite has been ascertained. It is undoubt=
eddy of volcanic origin, but nothing
more definite is known.
This is bad land that has never been
traversed. Human beings have tried 1t,
but they never return to tell Of their ex
perience or their discoveries.

some Incidents of That Mad Ride to

Just as they raced in upon the guns, q

The regimental butcher of the Seven

sheep when he heard the trumpets sound
for the charge He leaped on horse.
In shirt sleeves, with bare arms and
pipe in mouth. he rode through the whole

pipe still in mouth!
A private of the Eleventh was under
arrest for drunkenness when the charge
began, but he broke out, followed his
troop on a spare horse, picked up a
sword as he rode, and shared in the
rapture and perils Of the charge. The
charge lasted 20 minutes, and was ever
before such daring or such suffering
packed into space SO brief? The squad
rons rode into the fight numbering 673
ho1 semen; their mounted strength when
the fight was over was exactly 1876.
1t was all blunder, but it evoked a
heroism which made the blunder itself

Here is what Mr.. John H. Greer, Pho,

Bottom Of the Ocean.
New YORK Telegram.

New YORK Telegram.
The temperature at the bottom OF
the ocean is nearly down to freezing
point, and sometimes actually below
1t. There is a total absence OF light,
as far as sunlight is concerned, and
there is an enormous pressure, reck-
oned at about a ton to the square
inch in every thousand fathoms which
is lGO times greater than that OF the
atmosphere we live in. At $500
fathoms the pressure is thirty times
more powerful than the steam pressure
OF a locomotive when drawing q train.
As late as 1880 a leading zoologist ex-
planned the existence Of deep sea ami
mails at such depths by assuming that
their bodies were composed OF solids
aud liquids Of great density and con-
tanned no air This, however, Is not
the case with deep sea fish, which are
provided with air inflated swimming
bIadders. If one OF these fish IN full
chase after its prey happens to ascend
beyond certain leYel its bladder be-
comes dlstendei with the decreased
pressure, and carries it, in spite Of its
course In tact, members Of this un-
fortunate class are liable to become
victims to the unusual accidents OF
falling upward, and no doubt meet
with a violent death soon after leaving
their accustomed level, and long be-
fore their bodies reach the surface in
distorted and unnatural state, Even
ground sharks, brought from a depth
of no more than fye hundred fathoms,
expire before they gain the surface.
