the protection. The lake is five or
six feet lower than it was last sea-
son. Lakes, like pendulums, are up
and then down, keeping in harmony
with the other variations OF nature.
There are dry seasons and wet, cold
winters and warm, years of plenty
and years of little. Not long ago at
Jordan lake the proprietor OF the re-
sort pointed to trees standing In the
water several feet deep, and remarked
that they formerly stood on dry land.
Jordan lake, like Devils lake, has its
variations.
