Bodies of Water That Are a Source of
Wonder to All Who Bo*
^ hold Them.
——
One of the most singular lakes
in the world is the celebrated
Pitch lake of the island of Trim- ,
dad. This lake spreads over an
area of 9'J acres, and its surface 3s
composed of one great floating
mass of asphaltum, seamed with
veins of clear water. From it.
and a similar lake in Venezuela,
the world’s supply of asphalt is
drawn, states the Washington
Post.
The pitch lake is a hideous
place as far as smells arc con
cerned, for the air all about it is
heavy with noxious vapors, and
from the center of the lake gushes
a fountain of liquid asphaltum. in
which there float and break bub
bles containing most horrible
gases.
The workmen go ont on the sur
face of this lake and cut gr**.tl
slabs of asphaltum. which arc car
ried away. But tin* next morning
the hole they left is filled up again
with the pitch which lias risen
during the night, so that the sup
ply seems to be inexhaustible.
This curious lake was discov
ered by Sir Walter Ilaleigh when
he landed in Trinidad in 1 on
his way to the mouth of the Orino
co in search of El 1 forado.
Another strange lake is situat
ed on a peninsula which juts out
into the Caspian sea. The v
surface of this lake is covered \\ ii m
a crust of salt so thick and strong
that a man can ride across it on
horseback with safety.
In central Asia, near the< aspi
an sea, is a lake of bountiful rose
color, while the banks arc covered
with salt crystals as white as
snowr. From the waters of this
lake there arises a flower like
odor. The color and the odor art*
supposed to be caused by vegeta
ble matter in the depths.
There used to be a curious lake
on the top of t he Voleanode Apia,
in Guatemala, 11,000 feet above
the level of the sea. 11 was not fed
by springs nor by riv< is, h it was
caused by accumulation* of snow
and rain—in fact, win in immerse
reservoir. It lasted foreenturb s.
Then one day tin* sides of the lake
pave way, and down the waters
rolled, dealing death and destrne
tion, and dippinp a preat barran
ci|. or ravine, in the mountain side,
which is still visible.
