A Disappearing Island.

One of the curiosities of Southern Eng land is the disappearing island of Der wentwater lake. It rises In the lake at intervals of few years. and after q while disappears. It's height above the surface of the water is not more than a few inches. and It's area varies from c few square feet to two inches. The pre- nomenon is accounted for by the nature of the lake bottom. which is of peat. and the island is really blister-like uphsaval Of the bottom. The months Of July and August are the time when the phenome- non is most likely to occur, especially when the weather has been very warm.
