LAKE TAHOE HAS sHRUNKEN.

Lake Tahoe, in California, is often
said to occupy an old volcanic crater.
This lis not a fact. II is true that
the region about the lake shows evil
dence OF volcanic activity of various
kinds and that the water has at times
probably been damned by outpour-
ings of 1hva, but the lake itself lies in
structural depression-a dropped
block of the earth's crust.
The prehistoric Lake Tahoe was
larger and deeper than the present
lake, according to the United States
Geological Survey, Department of the
Interior. During the Neocene epoch
and the earlir part of the Pleistocene
epoch it's watet stood much higher
than now, but in its overflow it has
since cut through the lava dams that
maintained it at that height. Distinct
beaches that mark the former high
or levels of the lake stand about 100
feet above its present surface, but
the water doubtless once stood at ev-
en- greater heights. At Tahoe City
the most distinct of these old beaches
is a terrace that stands 35 to 40 feet
above the level Of the lake. 1t is on
this ancient beach that Tahoe Tavern
is built.
