THE LAKE ON THE MOUNTAIN.
Mr.. Drummond Thinks He Has Found
where Its Waters Come From.

On the north side Of Lake Ontario, southwest
of the Canadian city Of Kingston, is a lake stu
ated on a height o! land one side Of which forms
a cliff, 1t Is Just south of the arm Of Lake On
tario known as Quinte Bay and It stands 1870
feet above the bay There is no opportunity
for surface waters TO flow into this little lake and
no one has the slightest idea whence il derives
It's waters, which are clear and fresh. The lake
Is about one and a half miles long with a width
Of about three quarters Of a mile.

great cities was gradually increasing In
value.

dealers will to especially active In or
