A Disappearing Lake.

Near the south end of the San
Joaquin Valley, in Calofirnia, there
is a body of water known as Lake
Tulare, which is quite large and va
ries from time to time in area from
one hundred to four hundred
square miles. A most remarkable
popularity of this lake, however, is
that sometimes 1t is not there at all.
Being very Shallow it dries up every
row and them" said DR.. Charles G.
Percival. who has recently toured
several times through California in
one hundred thousand mile en-
duranee run with the Abbott-De-
troit Bull Dog" In 1904 its sur
face WAS one hundred square miles;
but the following year 1t had dis
appeared entirely, and farmers went
In and raised thousands of bushels
of grain on what had been the lake
potion. Lake Tulare Is probably
the most uncertain piece of water
In the world. Whereas now and then
1T disappears, it has way on the
other hand, OF extending itself to an
uncomfortable area in some seas
ons, overlooking the farming lands
and causing considerable damage.
Hence, it comes about that the far
mers In that region have been en-
gagged for some time past in reduc-
ing the lake to certain bounds as il
were, by hemming it in with dikes;

ingly hooking up into the face of
the conductor, who stood with his
hand on the bell cord ready to give
it the two jerks which would send
the car ahead.
The motorman was Tuning In his
cab on the front platform. He was
already two minutes behind sched-
ule, and cars behind were erowding
him.
The conductor offered to get Off |
and lift the young woman aboard, |
but she Indignantly refused. Cars |
behind stopped, and traffic was |
blocked.
For nearly five minutes they |
stood thus, the girl refusing to be |

Persons in the cars behind began |
