SUNK INTO THE SEA
Everglades of Florida Was Once an
Immense Mountain

One of the strange facts about the
Everglades region of Florida is that II
Is really a decayed mountain top The
crest is formed of massive limestone,
usually covered by a mantle Of sand.
In this formation are numberless pot
holes, which vary in size from a few
feet TO thousands of acres; also count
less lakes Of fresh water, springs and
frequent subterranean streams and
pools
few miles north of Cape Sable is
an outcrop of limestone which pro-
jects to Lake Okeechobee. In this out
crop is an extensive shallow basin ex-
tending 13O miles north and south and
about 10 miles east and west, while the
altitude of it's rim is II feet above
mean low tide in Biscayne Bay and a
little less above the Gulf of Mexico.
AS result Of the weather and flow
ing water the rim has been worn into
fantastic shapes The depth OF the
basin varies from one foot at the rim
to twelve feet in places. but generally
the rock floor is from depth OF on'
TO six feet. And here is the secret o
the fertility Of the Everglades. Above
the entire rock floor rises layer o
and of decaying vegetable matter. Thi
deposit varies from a few inches L
several feet in thickness. The waite
covering this deposit comes frOr
springs that in turn have their sourc
