DISAPPEARING LAKE
Water in It Goes Away About Every
Three or Four Years.

Three or Four Years.
In Georgia near Vlarosta, there Is
lake which disappears every three
or four years and then comes back
again, no matter what the weather is
like.
The lake is three miles long and
three-quarters of a mile wide, with
an average depth Of twelve feet of
water. There are natural subterra-
mean passages beneath it, through
which the water passes off.
1t takes two or three weeks to dis
appear, when a mammoth basin is
left in its place, which furnishes a
beautiful sandy beach. After month
or so the water begins to return, and
then in a couple of weeks it is the
same magnificent stretch Of water
as it was before.
