Mysterious Lake in Russia.
A remarkable phenomenon is re
ported from the Russian rural
'••immune of Schava. in the govern
ment of TzarefT Koksaka. In. x
pth-able Founds were heard for
several days issuing from the
earth. The sounds varied from
something like the booming of can
non to the screeching of steam
whistles and seemed to come from
a forest skirting the commune. In
this forest, where the terrified
peasantry gathered in expecta
tion of some calamity, the earth
was seen to heave incessantly.
Gradually huge cracks appeared,
water was seen, at last the earth
seemed gradually to sink, water
rose, and there appeared a new
lake of considerable extent, which
is now being examined by geolo
gists.—Detroit Free Press.
