in Argentine one day last year with

No one knows how or where. No one
cared. He got 'em, some way. Came
in with six dozen in a basket-sold
'em for 80 cents a dozen. They
brought him $1.50. That was Isaac's 8
start. Day after day he went to the
country and got all the eggs he could
carry. Finally, he had earned $125.
Isaac paid $50 for an old horse and

SOME VERY QUEER LAKES
Bodies of Water That Are Source Of
Wonder TO All Who Be-
hold Them.

One of the most singular lakes
in the world is the celebrated
Pitch lake of the island of Trini-
dad This lake spreads over an
area of 90 acres, and its surface is
composed of one great floating
mass of asphaltum, scanned with
veins of clear water. From it,
and similar lake in Venezuela,
the worlds supply of asphalt is
drawn, states the Washington
Post.
The pitch lake is a hideous
place as far as smells are con
cerned, for the air all about it is
heavy with noxious vapors, and
from the center of the lake gushes
a fountain of liquid asphaltum, in
which there float and break bub-
bles containing most horrible
gases.
The workmen go out on the sur
face of this lake and cut great
slabs of asphaltum, which are car
ried away. But the next morning
the hole they left is filed up again
with the pitch which has risen
during the night, SO that the sup
ply seems to be inexhaustible.
This curious lake was discov-
cred by Sir Walter Raleigh when
he landed in Trinidad in 1895, on
his way to the mouth of the Orino-
20 in search of FL Dorado.
Another strange lake is situat-
I'd on peninsula which juts out
nto the Caspian sea. The whole
surface of this lake is covered with
/ crust of salt so thick and strong
that man can ride across it on
horseback with safety.
In central Asia, near the Caspi
an sea, is lake of beautiful rose
color, while the hanks are covered
with salt crystals as white as
snow. From the waters of thin
axe there arises fiower-likC
,dor. The color and the odor ar,
supposed to be caused by vegeta
Die matter in the depths.
There used to be a curious LAKE
On the top of the Volcano de Aqua
in Guatemala, $4,000 feet abov'
the level of the sea. 1t was not fet
by springs nor by rivers, but wa
caused by accumulations of SNOW
and rain-in fact, was an immens,
reservoir. 1t lasted for centuries
Then one day the sides of the lak'
gave way, and down the water
rolled, dealing death and destruC
ton, and digging great barran
ca, or ravine, in the mountain side
which is still visible.
