A MYSTERIOUS ISLAND
In Mlchlgan Rises from Lake orion
I'm Summer and sinks In Winter.

In Mlchlgan Rises from Lake orion
In Summer and sinks In Winter.
One of the deepest mysteries to be
found In the State of Michigan, says
a writer, Is the island that every sum.
mer comes to the surface of Lake
Orion. and every winter goes back
again to the depths whence 1t arose.
Its periods of appearance and disap-
pearance are nearly regular. It comes
to the surface along about the middle
Of August, and goes down again about
February Is. What causes 1t to act
thus strangely Is conundrum that
none has been able to solve, and the
best efforts that have been put forth
to keep 1t with us or compel It to re.
main In the depths have been alike
without results.
On one occasion a number Of farm
ers and Transfers decided to put the
island out Of the floating business. In
their efforts to do 30 they hauled
many loads Of stone and deposited
them on 1t during the early part of
the winter. believing that when It
went down in February It would 60
down for good, weighted as It was
with stones. But the following Au.
gust saw 1t bob up serenely from be.
low--minus Its load Of stones.
At another time an effort was made
to keep II on the surface and II was
chained to the surrounding country
with heavy log chains. When It's time
for departure came It departed--and
the log chains departed with It. The
log chains were never recovered.
The island Is composed Of soft mud
and rushes, and there are some skep.
tical souls who attribute its formation
and appearance and disappearance to
the gathering Of vegetation in one
spot by the currents Of the lake and
Its subsequent decay.
