One OF the Most Peculiar Mysteries of
Colorado.

Ohe OF the Most Peculiar Mysteries of
Colorado.
the most unusual curiosity in the
strange, uncanny land by the Colorado
river is what the naturallsts in Califor-
mia call lake Of ink. The scientific
journals In Los Angeles and San Diego
have discussed time and time again
what the lake OF ink really Is. It ia a
great pool Of black fluid that resembles
black writing ink more than anything
else. It 10 about an acre in area. The
surface OF the lake is coated with ashes
from the volcanoes to the thickness ~
about half foot, and the explorer In
these parts who is not looking out for
this freak of nature would be very ant
TO walk into it. Surveyors have found
that the lake is some three hundred

These marvellous relics OF American
antiquity, for centuries inaccessible to
any but the boldest and most tireless
explorers. have at last been opened up
by a,little band of enthusiastic women.
The ruins have long been considered
by archaeologists to be among the fin
est and most interesting in the world
and have stood almost unknown and
wholly neglected in the Mancas can
yon of southwestern Colorado. On the
rare occasions when they have been
visited. except by one or two parties
OF scientific explorers, it has been by
careless tourists and sightseers, who
did not scruple to knock down walls
and otherwise deface the ruins in their
efforts to get and carry away inter-
esting pieces OF pottery and the relics
valuable only to science.
These ruins were opened and made
accessible to the public by the Colo

naturellement, prenaient les biens
des ordres religieux ainsi mis- a la
porte. LIE remede 6tait radical;
mais il n'offrait que peu de points
de contact avec la mansuetude

aux ordres religieux le droit de
