The Pere Marquette Railroad company,
when building branch between Grand
Rapids and Lansing, returned to the work
one morning to find that several rods of
roadbed had disappeared during the night
and a considerable lake had taken its place.
Thousands Of feet of timber and many car
loads Of earth were dumped in before bot
tom was found and the road had anything
like a firm foundation. The pressure Of the
displaced water heaved the earth and
cracked it for some distance around, tilt
ing large forest trees, some of which fell.
Water came up through these crevices,
bringing eyeless fish, both bass and bull
heads, convincing certain former skeptics
that when any organ of sense or locomo-
ton falls into disuse II degcnerates and
finally is lost. Probably these fish were
the descendants of others that had lived IL
darkness for ages.
A small lake in Bovine township, sup
posed by the rural folk TO be bottomless,
swallowed up full halt acre at one gulp
y few years ago, and where the slide took
place the water Is apparently as deep as
ever.
In the extreme western edge of Ionia
county there is a little lake of about three
acres in area; 1t is without any visible
feeders or outlet. II Is surrounded by
woods on the high land, while it's margin
is grown up to shrubs and flags and grasses
peculiar to the ordinary swamp.
This is another Of these mysterious water
holes, termed bottomless, one party hav-

TOM The water is red and unfit TO drink
and millions OF minute particles of vege-
table matter are held in suspension and
are in commotion as if stirred by force of
an undercurrent or boiling springs.
The only fish are big-mouthed bass and
bullheads. For all that the water seems
to be so swampy in character 1t does not
detract from the flavor of the fish, prob
ably owing to the fact of its being OF bet
ter quality in its lower depths.
Nagley,s lake, in Kent county, is formed
like q great horseshoe and is about seven
miles in circumference. 1t has been
sounded in one place and showed depth
of $50 feet. 1t has but one insignificant
feeder and the natural evaporation must
be considerable, and yet It has an outlet
which flows water sufficient for power to
drive a sawmill and gristmill, proving that
1t is fed by heavy-flowing springs that man
has never seen. The water is clear blue
and cold and the bottom is hard mari lime,

too late to AVOID them and she was not
quite high enough to clear them. and, to
the horror of the onlookers, the biplane
crashed into the upper branches. and fell,

The few spectators rushed horror-stricken
