little rough but approximately level
with the rest of the lake. The hole
has been mysteriously filled up during
the night, and in the course of a week
all traces Of the digging will be oblit-
Grated.
This does not mean necessarily that
fresh asphalt has come into the lake
from underground sources. On the
contrary, the excavations are filled by
very slow settling or leveling of the
surface asphalt. There is no such thing
as new" asphalt, by the way, for the
transition from liquid petroleum to
solid asphalt by natures process in
wolves a period of time that must be
calculated in centuries. The digging
done in past years has caused the gen.
eral level of the lake to sink several
feet, 80 that it is not absolutely mex
haustible, as some people imagine. It
is believed that fresh asphalt very
slowly pushes itself upward into the
lake from the subterranean depths,
but how large quantity is thus added
annually has not been calculated.
Lakes Depth Not Known.
Near the middle of the lake the ma
terial is less hard than elsewhere, sRd
in few places soft asphalt may be
seen oozing up from below. This fresh
asphalt is Of about the consistency of
putty, and can be kneaded and pulled
in the hands without soiling them
greatly. In the main, however, the
lake is solid asphalt.
No one knows the depth Of this mys-
ferrous lake, the only information on
the subject being the fact that long
ago boring was made to depth Of
1875 feet without reaching the bottom.
The 'cores,,, Of this and other behring's
show that in consistency the asphalt
remains the same to a very consider
able depth. Curious as it may seem,
there are many evidences that the en-.
tire mass comprising the lake is in
constant but very slow motion. The
surface is a series Of great folds, and
in the creases between these the rain.
water gathers. One writer has aptly
compared the surface of the asphalt
to the skin Of a great elephant, the
creases being the folds in his hide.

Russian blouses, replacing the
blouse and the shirt waist, will no
doubt have a considerable vogue
iamong women who are going to adopt
the new top-coat instead of the tail
ored suit. 1t is a very good way to
use up the various skirts of frocks
where the bodice has become worn. In
these days of chiffon topped dresses
the life of dress waist.is very short
These Russian blouses are made OF
velvet, of chiffon cloth, of taffeta and
OF satin, not necessarily in bright col.
ors. They are embroidered in metal
thread, in beads or combined with
floss silk motifs. 1t is seldom done in
the padded French embroidery stitch.
es The same designs are used, to be
sure, but sort of basting stitch OF
backstitch, with French knots, the
sort which could be made by the YER

advantage of this kind of embroidery
is that it is done so quickly and is sc
effective.

color, is also used for these Russian
blouses. The design is outlined with
