There are several floating" islands
in existence we'll known to scientists,
but the only wandering" lake we ever
heard Of is Lake Nor, in the Godi Des-
ert, in Asia, which phenomena was
recently accounted for by the fact that
the Tarim River entering the lake from
the west, brings down during the per-
.2od Of high water late in summer, a
great quantity of silt, which has the
effect of driving the lake, lying on the
level floor Of the desert, toward the
southeast. But the summer wind, drift
ing the surface sand and darkening the
heavens with dust, blows generally
from the northeast, and it too tends to
drive the lake before it. The combined
effect of the urging by the wind and
the river is to force the lake south
