Layers of Warm and
Cold Waters in Lakes

It has been found that some Of the
salt lakes in Hungary present the pc
culiarity of layer Of warm, or even
hot, salt water between two bodies of
colder water. Thus, in the Medoc
lake, the surface temperature in sum
mer Is about 40 degrees, but at depth
of a little more than four feet the
temperature becomes 1873 degrees, de-
clining again to 66 degrees at the bot
tom.
The surface water is fresh, but the
warm water beneath is intensely sa-
line, and the explanation of the diff
ference of temperature is that, since
the specific heat of salt water is less
than that Of fresh water, the salt wa
ter is more easily heated by the sun,
and, having risen to higher tempera-
ture than that Of the Overlying fresh
water, retains its heat, because the
fresh water prevents its escape by ra-
diation. 1t is suggested that some use
might be found for these natural res
ervoirs. or accumulatOrs, of solar heat

the dealings of the market. In fact,
there are many of the more costly
furs for which limitations are prepar-
ed through shllful manipulation of
muskrat pelts at the hands of modern

department the trail leads to the table
of the epicure. The social aspirations
of the muskrat carry him to the exclu-
sive banquet board where he figures
as the diamond-back terrapin, for
which the Chesapeake region is able
to get away with it and has continued
to do so for a considerable term of

Perhaps it is rank hersy to divulge

for the statement that the diamond

In many cases he is neither more

The disguise is so perfect that the

Without regard for traditional pride
it must further be admitted that the

The dredge, Cape May, of the At

to lack of oil fuel. The Hearn Oil
Company, Of Wilmington, the suppl
ers Of the fuel, have been unable to
get tug and scow through the Ches-
apeake and Delaware Canal to where
the Cape May is working because Of
the heavy ice in the canal. The ice is
from five to six inches thick all thru
the stretch of the canal. The tug,
Hustler, with a scow bearing several
tanks of oil was able to work her way
through last week and reached the

The color Of a muskrat skin varies
with locality. The black skins are
found chiefly in Maryland. Records
show tllat the earliest demand for the
fur was for the manufacture of beav-
er hats.
In recent years there has been large
exploitation of the pelts in making
imitation sealskins for garments
which are sold as Hudson seal at pric-
es running above $500.
A recent display of garments made
from muskrat fur, cut in ovals and so
skillfully put together that no seams
could be found. The coats were of
brown fur and the large cape collars
and cuffs were black. These garments
were sold as sables at high prices.
