s Lake Cteett has been an interesting
phenomenon to the people of northern
Indiana for many years, but the secret
of its rise and fail has never been dis
covered. It's the only lake In Cass
county and is about one mile wide and
about one mile long. The water Is
clear and cold and perfectly fresh. Its
lost mysterious characteristic Is the
Fact that 1t orerf,ows its banks every
seventh year The farmers who own
the land upon its banks have become
SO used to- this that they never at
tempt to cultivate. the Land in the sew
enth year, but give It up without pro
test, as they know It is sure to be
claimed by the waters.
The Pottawatomie Indians. who tn
ha bited what Is now Cass and adjotn-
Ing counties. were familiar with the
characteristic of the lake. They be
lieved that the bottom was Inhabited
by powerful spirit. which at inter
walls of seven years caused the lake 60
overflow They construed this action
as approval of the tribe by the spirit
and watched anxtously for the time to
come. for they saw in the rising waters
a sure Indication that they had done
nothing to displease it. The early
white settlers became acquainted with
the legend, and the Oldest inhabitant Is

was told me. by the person to as
was told by the late Lord 5Lyttol n.y. q
give it in my own words for the exs
cellent though humiliating reason that:
have mislaid the manuscript.
When in India Lord Lytton often
sought out conjurers. but never saw,
any but the usual feats. such as the
mango tree trick and the basket trick
The method in each case is knoEn.
or at all events plausible explanations
have been given by Mr.. Maskelynes
and other experts. On one occasion
Lord Lytton liked something in the
looks of the conjure WHO WIS perform
ing in an open space before his house.
After the ordinary exhibition his lord
ship asked the magician IL he could NOT
do something more out Of the common
way. The man said he would try and
asked for ring. which Lord Lytton
gave him He then requested an ofd-
Ger to take In either hand handful or
seeds One sort was sesame. Inc
nan Of the other SORT my Informant
did not know Holding these seeds and
having the ring between his finger ana
thumb. the officer was to so to wen
In the corner of the compound He
was to dispose of the seeds In certain
way-I think on the low wall round
the well, into the depth of which he
was to throw the ring. All this was
done. and then the magician asked
Lord Lytton where he would like the
ring to reappear He answered, In my
dispatch box" Of which the key was
attached to his watch chain. or, at al!
events. he had it with him on the spot
The dispatch box was brought out
md
the ring. y
This trick would be easy If the Brit
ish officer was a confederate of the
juggler and if he possessed dupli-
cate key to the Dispatch box. In that
case he would not throw the ring into
the well. but would take it into the
house open the box and insert the
ring But this explanation involves
enormous improbahilitieS. while 1t Is
unlikely again that the conjurer man

repeat the trick. He answered i'll the
affirmative. and q lady lent another

seeds, as before, and dropped the ring
