OF the monarchs who have reigned
over England since the days Of the
Norman conquest nearly one-Quarter OF
the number have met violent death.
William was killed by q fall from
his horse. William II was shot while

lens Of history: Richard was killed
by a shaft from crossbow while
besieging the city Of Chaluz. in France:
Richard II was murdered in Pontefract
castle, Edward ii was murdered in
Berkley castle. and Edward V in the
Tower of London. Richard III was
killed on the battlefield Of Bosworth
and Charles had his head cut of in
London.
Elizabeth's death was fastened by
remorse that she had ordered the ex
ecution Of Essex. and her sister Mary
sickened and died soon after the loss
of Calais. declaring that the name Of
the city would be found after death
written on her heart. The death Of
Edward Ills son. the Black Prince,
caused the aged monarch to die Of
grief. So. after the loss Of his son
in the White Ship, Henry I was never
seen to smile again and lived only
short time. Henry VI and George III

A STRANGE LAKE.
The Peculiarities of u Body of Water
In Australia.

In Australia.
Lake George IS situated about four
miles from the railway station at Bun
gendore. Australia, and has for many
wears engaged the attention Of sclen-
titic men by reason of the singular and
lnexplicable phenomena connected with
it. The estimates Of its size vary con-
siderably according to circumstances,
but when moderately full about 20 by
miles Will be found tolerably correct.
At either end the land is fully 100 feet
above the highest recorded surface Of
the lake. which possesses no known
outlet. although it is fed by numerous
mountain creeks.
The lake was discovered by a bush
man in 1920 and was known to the
blacks as the 'big water" 1t was then
supposed to form the source Of river
having it's mouth on the south coast,
but subsequent visitors were much
perplexed at the manner in which the
blacks avoided the lake, OF which they
appeared to entertain superstitlous
dread, one aged aboriginal stating she
had seen it all covered with trees, an
other explaining that the whole Of the
water sunk through the bottom and
disappeared, while others remembered
the lake only as series Of small
ponds.
During the following 20 years con-
siderable variations were noted in the
depth and extent Of the lake. In 1871
the lake became partially dried up, the
moist portions being simply grassy
swamps. A few months later large
numbers Of sheep were pastured in the
bed Of the lake, but fresh water had to
be carted for the use Of the shepherds,
that of the lake being too salt for hu-
man consumption. The place remained
more or less dry until 1852. the year Of
the great foods in that part Of the col
ony, when it again became filed, with
an average depth Of nine feet. Since
then the surface level Of the lake has
varied considerably, but the bed has
never been so dry as in former years.
There are indications that many hun
dreds of years ago the lake covered q
far larger area than any yet recorded,
remains Of trees over 100 years old be-
ing found in spots formerly under wa
ter. The saline character of the lake is
the more remarkable by reason Of it's
being fed by pure and sparkling fresh
water streams.

1t may interest many to know that in Burmah

The Field in the early part of 1899 When trav-

Perhaps the most probable reason for this fer

for by the fact that in the countries referred to

end Karen chiefs etc. lead n far more natural
