iOWA'S WALLED LAKE.
Mystery In the Water and the Stones
That Surround II.

Mystery In the Water and the Stones
That Surround It.
One of the curiositeS Of the west Is
the "Walled lake" hundred miles
west Of Dubuque. la. Some two or
three feet higher than the surrounding
surface. the lake has a wall ten feet
wide on the bottom and tive feet on
the top and tie wall varies in height
from tea TO fifteen feet. The most re-
markab'e circumstance connected with
this strange lake is that the stones
used In the construction Of this wall
vary from three TO 100 pounds in
weight and there are no stones what
sOeyer In the entire country surround
ing the lake for Eve or ten miles.
There is no record. history or Indian
legend to tell who brought these stones
to build this wall. and to make the
scene more nystifying Il belt of wood
land half mile in length composed Of
oak surrounds the lake. With this ex-
ception. the entire country Is a rolling
prairie. The trees must have been
planted about the same time the wall
was built. In 1856 there was a great
storm, and the ice and the lake broke
down large part of the wall. and the
farmers living in the country were
obliged to repair the wall to prevent
their farms from being flooded This
curious lake covers a ground surface
of $500 acres. and the water is TWEEN
ty-five feet deep and as cold and clear
as ice. No one seems to be able to tell
where the water goes to or comes
from, but it is always fresh and clear

A eibiiophile's Reply.
Mandell Creighton, who was bishop
Of London. had horror of lending his
favorite books. A fellow clergyman
once visited the bishop and took q
fancy to an old edition of Shakespeare.
He borrowed the volume and did not
think to return IL for several months.
Finally the minister returned 1t with
letter. saying. My Dear Bishop-l
have great pleasure In returning the
volume you lent me-"
The bishop answered. My Dear
Brother-All the joy is mine."
