LAKES FAR ABOVE SEA LEVEL.
Mysterious Bodies Of water Found in
tho Cordiiisraa


From Crucero Alto. the highest town
In the world, tho Southern railroad OF
Peru drops into Lake Lagunillas, or
lake region OF the Cordileras, where,
group of large lakes of very cold
pure water without inlet or outlet,
says the Boston Journal. They re-
cclvo the drainage of tho surround
Ing hills. and conceal II some
where, but there Is no visible means of
Its escape. A fringe of Ice forms
around tho edgos Of the lakes every
night the year round, yet they contain
an excellent variety of fish called tho
pejerray. which Is caught near tho
shore and sold at Puma and In other
neighboring towns. The two largest
lakes, aarachocha and Cachlpascana.
with several smaller ones In tho same
neighborhood, are owned by tho family
OF Mr. Romania of Arequlpn, who has
Just been elected president OF Peru.
He owns immense tracts OF land In
this locality. with thousands Of sheep,
cattle, lamas, nlpacas aud vIcunas,
which are herdod upon Il. A curious
phenomenon about the lakes In that
they keep at the samo level all the
time, regardless Of dry and rainy sea-
sons. No amount of rain will make
any difference with their depth, whics,
however, In the center IL unknown
And this ndds to tho awe and mystery
with which they are regarded by the
lakes except few small balsas, or
RATS, made of bundles OF straw, which
keep very close to the shore for fear
of being drawn into tho whlrlpools
that are said to exist In the center.
There is some foundation for this fear,
for only two or three years ago n
balsa containing flve men disappeared
In the darkness, and II was never heard
OF again. or course, II may have been
tipped over and Its occupants have
been paralyZed BY tho cold water in
an ordinary way, but their bodies were
never recovered. nor did tho balsa
ever float to shore. Therefore tho peo-
pie think the whole party was lured
into maelstrom and swallowed up
by the mysterious waters. Tho whirl-
pool near the center of Lake Popo,
which receives the waters OF Lake
Titicaca, IL we'll known. and hundreds
OF men have lost their lives by ven
turing too near II. Boats that are
drawn into the current are whlrled
around swiftly few times and then
disappear. For the protection of nayi.
gators the government OF Bolivia has
anchored a lot OF buoys In Lake Popo
and boatmcn who observe them are In
no danger. There Is supposed to be
an underground outflow from all these
lakes. IL is claimed that articles which
have been thrown into their waters
have afterwards been picked up on the
geacoast near Africa. and careful OBJ
servers say that on the beach In that
locality are frequently found corn
stalks, reeds and other debris which
do not grow on the coast. but are found
In great abundance among the interior
lakes.

Spain, which he says lis making rapid

disorder have subsidized; the danger OF
revolution has passed; under the influ-
ence Of well-balanced budget, public
credit is improving; the personal
worth and practical wisdom of the
queen regent have made her the one

BY the action OF the senate in rati-
flying The Hague peace treaty, the
United States now stands before the
world as a nation no less ready to
practice than to preach arbitration.
Its promptness in accepting the invi-
tation to The Hague, the eminence OF
those who represented the country, its
commanding position as one OF the
great powers of the world, and the
governments uell-Gnown advocacy OF
the principle of arbitration, all tend
TO invest the action Of the senate with
peculiar significance. BY 1t we have
now shown our good faith, and other
nations may follow The aim OF the
treaty, stripped of conplicating de-
tails, is merely to make peace easier
and war more difficult. 1t cannot
compel peace, for it leaves each ma
tion free to choose course for itself:
but 1t seeks to render the resort TO
arms the last resort.
