CALL LAKE FREAK OF NATURE.
Mysterious Body of Water In the
State of New York.

The brakeman on the Long Island
railroad was talking to two schoolboys.
Say kids, did you know there's a
lake down the island where the sui
cides disappear, and their bodies are
found in the Atlantic ocean? That's
gospel fact. l lost friend there
once. We dragged for his body three
days, and some fishermen picked it
up near Oak Island beach, just out
side Fire island inlet. Now, kids,
what do you think of that? Ask your
teacher. Maybe she can explain all
about it." Needless to remark, the
boys were much interested.
The lake referred to is Ronkonkoma,
freak of nature, about 4S miles from
New York's city hall, and half way
between Stony, Brook and Sayville.
Strange are the traditions lowering
over this small body of water. The
Indians around Islip used to call sit
Ron-konk-o-MA, but many of the pres
ent day Long Islanders say Ron-kon-
KO-ma. Old "residenters" tell that
the tide rises and falls there twice in
"a hours, sometimes six inches, at 9th
er times. two feet 1t is believed that
there is an underground connection
with Great South bay, leading to the
ocean by way of Fire Island inlet. At
times, they will declare. the water is
salt, and at other times fresh.

SKIN ROUGH AS BARK.
Baby Boy Had Intense itching Hunor
Scratched Till Blood Ran.
Found a Cure in cuticura.

Our son, two years old, was afflicted
with a rash. After he suffered with
the trouble several weeks I took him
to the doctor but it got worse. The
rash ran together and made large
blisters. The little fellow didn't want
to do anything but scratch and we had
to wrap his hands up to keep him
from tearing the flesh open till the
blood would run. The itching was in
tense. The skin on his back became
hard and rough like the bark of a
tree. He suffered intensely for about
three months. But found a remedy
in Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
mert. The result was almost mag

ago and there has not been the Slight
