TRINIDAD'S SELF-FILLING
LAKE.

The island of Trinidad almost
literally has a goose that lays a
golden egg. The principal reve-
nue. of the island is derived from
it's famous asphalt lake from
which most of our pavements are
secured. The island receives
100000 royalty per year from
the various asphalt companies To-
lated there. The wonderful fea-
lure is that the lake seems to fill
itself up. In spite of the fact
that the asphalt pavements in
most American and European cit
les were taken from the lake, and
that millions of cubic yards of the
pitch have been removed, the pres
ent level of the lake is only a few
feet below the original level. When
