spring carnival OF Cbi,aren

Tomorrow night. at the New National
Theater, Miss Cora B. shreve and her
juvenile performers win inaugurate the
annual spring carnival. an event that is
one of the genuine treats Of the late the
atrical season in Washington. This sea-
sons entertainment promises TO eclipse
any OF the preceding ones; there are more
children, better specialties. and an album
dance of unique features. The pro-
gTamme. which will be the longest of any
OF the spring carnivaIs, includes dancing
specialties, baliets. ensemble dancing, rope
RANGES, toe dances. serpentine dances. and
an. especially drilled chorus of buck and
wing dancers. The delightfully."- youthful at
mosphere OF the entire carnival will make
a strong appeal 20 all lovers of children s
entertainments. There are many little
artists in Miss Shreve's classes who are
just turning fives and six years. and they
execute the most difficult dances with a
freedom and grace that is at once start
ling and effective.
The spring carnival will be Monday
and Tuesday nights only at s:15. The re-
mainder of the week at the New National
viii be given over 10 the George wash
ington University Minstrel Club and the
short season Of grand opera by the Metro

COLOR SCHEMES IN LAKE.
California Water Distinctly Yellow,
Green. Red, and Gray in Turn.


A small lake at Seaside. Monterey
County. Cal. changes its color four times
every year
To all appearances this lake IS Just Ike
any other small lake. and there seems TO
be no reason why It should be such re-
markabie sheet Of water. It is prettily
situated. full Of fish and water fowl. and
when in its normal condition the water is
clear and sweet Il has one peculiarity
besides its variable color. however. The
water is never stagnant. despite the fact
that there is no apparent outlet TO the
lake
The color changes are very pronounced,
and are in four distinct shades-yellow,
green, red, and dark gray, that has the
appearance of black at times. After each
change the water Tegains its normal
clear appearance
The color Is in the water and not the
result of reflection from the sky. This
has been proved beyond doubt by the
fact that the color remains the same for
days at a time. regardless Of the condi.
tion of the clouds. The four colors men
toned are the ones always seen. and they
always occur in the order named. the dis
turbance, if such it may be called. cover
ing period Of from six weeks TO two
months IN July and August Of each year.
Old residents OF Seaside assert that the
phenomenon is a regular annual event,
and that it is always followed by the
death of a large number Of fish In the
lake.
No explanation Of the peculiar condi-
tion has ever been attempted by scien-
lists. although several scientific men Of
note have studied the lake very carefully.
The prevailing opinion among the inhabi-
tants of the section surrounding the lake
IS that the lake i Of volcanic origin, and
that the changes are due to subterranean
disturbances which produce chemical
changes in the water Of the lake.
This idea is supposed TO have grown
out of the belief that the lake Is bottom
less.
Twenty years ago, when the Southern
Pacific Railroad was being built across
one end Of the lake, the roadbed sank
almost as fast as It was laid and thou
sands Of tons Of gravel and stone were
dumped into the lake before q stable
foundation could be obtained. This led to
the belief that the lake is bottOmless.
