A LAKE THAT RAN AWAY.
1t Changed the Face of a Part of
Northern Vermont.

1t Changed the Face of a Part of
Northern Vermont.
One hundred years ago the sites of
Glover and Barton, in the northern
part of Vermont were mostly swamp
land. A mill was located by q brook
which was fed from one of the large
ponds three or four miles from what
is now the village of Glover. These
mountain ponds or lakes, two or three
miles square, are high up in the Green
mountains and are among the most
attractive spots in New England,
On June 6, 1910, three men went
up the brook to see If a little more
water could be let down to the mill.
They removed some earth, when - d-
denly the quicksands gave way. and
they saw that the whole lake was liza
BILE to be upon them.
FranticalIy they questioned who
will save the miller and his wife"
Spencer Chamberlain, the deetest of
foot, ran as fast as possible through
the tangle of thick woods to give warn
ing, while the other men escaped to
higher ground. He found the miller
away and the millers wife grinding ut
the mill. She became helpless with
horror; but, breathless as her rescuer
was from his fight, he succeeded in
dragging and carrying her up the hill
out of reach of the rushing water.
The miler's horse was drowned and
all Of his hard earned property swept
away in q tWinklinC.
The water rushed along, carrying
everything before it, digging out ra-
vines. filling up holloWs and making
new surface to the land generally,
some of it reaching Lake Memphrema-
cog, more than 4 dozen miles away.
It brought down so much sand that it
filed the swamps and made them fit
for habitation.
The site of the lake is now called
Runaway pond or Dry pond and the
road leading to it Runaway road. The
ground which was once the bed of
the lake is spongy and shakes when
walked upon. Hay is grown there, but
has to be cut by hand and carried off
on pitchforks, as a horse would sink
into the soggy mass.-Boston Globe.

Narrowly Escared Death.

The Chronicle, August 20: John
Shaunce had a large rock fall upon his
head last Friday afternoon which cut Il
cash one and one-half inches in length
and to the skull. Mr.. Shaunce, who
works at the Sunshine Mine with Eli
Tyrer, was engaged in work at that
place when a large rock was loosened
in the roof and fell onto him striking
his head as above stated. The rock
weighed about fifty pounds and it is
very lucky that he was not killed. Mr..
Tyrer saw the rock fall and gave warn
ing but not in time for Mr.. Shaunce to
get entirely out Of its way.

Furnaces Undergoing Repairs.

J. H. Lewis, in Milwaukee Free Press:
The big furnaces Of the Mineral Point
Zinc Oxide works have been closed
down since Aug I. The furnaces are
all undergoing repairs, it being neces-
sary after one or two years Of ceaseless
activity to replace the CRATES. When
this has been accomplished operations
will be resumed and the usual number
of tons Of ore, about 100, will be con
sumed daily. Double the amount Of
coal is used to properly charge the
furnaces and from 5000 to 100000
yards Of unbleached domestic used
monthly in the big bag rooms.

TIDES OF PUGET SOUND.
The Swift and Turbulent Waters of
the Narrows.


The waters of the narrows are
treacherous. 1t is q place of terrible
tides. Viewed from the precipitous
shores, the surging waters are mag
nifcent The scene has been compared
with the Hudson above New York
city. The waters of that part of
Puget sound which extends to Olym-
pia, Mud bay. Shelton and Henderson
bay, a vast inland sea within itself,
all flow in and out of the narrows.
In the upper reaches of the sound
some twenty-five or thirty miles from
the narrows the tides attain a height
of more than twenty feet. When the
tides begin to fall all the accumulated
water rushes out through the narrows
like a great river at flood. In like
manner when the tide sets in the di-
rection of Olympia the narrOWs be-
come a swift and turbulent stream.
Frightful whirlpOols are numerous.
Streams running powerfully in con-
trary directions strike and the water
bOiIs.
Large steamboats, struck by the con-
trary currents grOan and creak and
sway under the strain. This being so,
it is no wonder that small craft often
overturn in the narrows. A whirlpool
has been known to seize a rowboat and
twist it round and round until the
rowers almost despaired of coming out
alive. 1t is a marVelously beautiful
water with all its terrors, and hun
dreds and thousands viii continue to
find pleasure there, Notwithstanding
its. occasional tragedies The rumble
of the tides when running at full is
like the distant rumble Of the ocean.
The terrors of the sea are an element
Of its charm, and so it is with the ter
rors of the narrows.-Tacoma Ledger.
