CAUSED pEEP RAyINEs.

Along the western border of the
State, on and near the bank of the
! Mississippi, travellers and residents
have found deep ravines and beds
Of lakes, which, in every instance,
are attributed in their formation
to the Reelfoot earthquake. Near
Memphis the earthquake is said to
have lost much of its force, yet to
have been sufficient to cause the
bulging of the earth in two places,
between which the waters of the
river rolled over the sunken bank,
forming Open Lake. Those who
have viewed this lake declare that
II has all the appearances of having
originated in some unnatural way.
Trees are yet growing in the center
of the lake, only the upper branch.
es reaching above the wAter. Some
distance above that, nearer the
central western part of the State,
is Sunken Lake, which in its ap-
pearance is much the same as the
others, and is also believed to have
originated during the memorable
earthquake Of Reelfoot. Tradition
in West Tennessee has it that when
the force of the earthquake was
being vented, the waters of the
Mississippi reversed their move
ments, and rushed with incredible
speed upstream.
However, these lakes are but the
smaller productions of this great
earthquake, which laid its heaviest
lold on the extreme northwest
corner of Tennessee, making Reel
