pointing to an old man with white
hair and a long beard. he continued:
THAT gentleman is only receiving the
sum you asked" "Oh, WE'LL" said the
young fellow, "if you take hair for

Lakes IN pesert.

The Desert de Carlitte, in the Pyre-
nees. close on 10000 feet above the
sea, contains no less than sixty lakes
of varying sizes. These, according to
local tradition, were left at the time
of the flood. When the waters sub
sided 1t appears that Noah and his
family landed on the Puy de Prigue,
one of the highest peaks in the dis
trict. Convincing proof of the truth
of this tradition is found in an iron
ring to which, the peasants declare,
the ark was moored when the landing
was effected.
