One of the most singular lakes in the world is the celebrated Pitch lake of the island of Trini dad. This lake spreads over an area of 99 acres, and its surface is composed of one great floating veiiis of clear water. Prom 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 are 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 out on the sur face of this lake and cut great slabs of asphaltum, which are car riednaway. But the next morning the hole they left is filled up again with the pitch which has risen during the night, so that the sup ply seems to be inexhaustible. - This curious lak.fr was discov ered by Sir Walter Raleigh when he landed in Trinidad in 1595, on his way to the mouth of the Orino co in search of El Dorado. Another strange lake is situat ed on a peninsula which juts out into the Caspian sea. The whole surface of this lake is covered with a crust of salt so thick and strong that a man can ride across it on horseback with safety. In central Asia, near the Caspi an sea, is a lake of beautiful rose color, while the banks are covered with salt crystals as white as snow. From the waters . of this lake there ; arises a flower-like odor. The color and the' odor are supposed to be caused by vegeta ble matter in the depths. . There used, to be a curious lake on the top of the Volcano de Agua, in Guatemala, 14,000 feet above the level of the sea. It was not fed by springs nor by rivers, but was caused by accumulations of snow and rain in fact, was an immense reservoir. It lasted for centuries, rhen one day the sides of the lake gave way, and down the waters rolled, dealing death and destruc tion, and digging a great barran ca, or ravine, in the mountain side, which is still visible. ORIGIN OF BASKET BALL. First Played at Training Sohool In Springfield, Haas., ia tha ' , - Year 1901.. T Basket ball as ' a recreative jame is unique in its origin for two reasons. Firstly, it is our one, positively V sure, home American production; secondly, the name, date and place of its authorship are exactly known, says Golden Days. Of no other game in all the category can : this be said ; the birth of the bulk of them is buried in an obscurity which reaches be yond the cuneiform-covered, baked clay tablets of Babylon, and the hieroglyphics of the remotest Egyptian records. Basket ball, on the other hand, was born in thev year ' 1901 at 3pringfield, Mass., and its author was James Nainsmith. ; 1 In that town is a training school sonnected with the Young Men's ihristian Association, and, of course, professors, among them a professor of psychology, who is paid to teach the young ideas how to think, effectively. In one of his lectures he called attention to cer tain conditions upon which the brain could with advantage be ex- ;rcised, and challenged his class to supply the requirements to meet them. The conditions were the invention of a new game which could be played indoors, in i limited area, by a defined and unalterable number of j contest ants,, and adaptable to both sexes. Upon this hypothesis one of his pupils, JameS Nainsmith, the same night evolved "basket ball." It was put int0 practice the next day, experimentally ,and found to meet the conditions and limitations laid down by the professor admir ably. But it had more than an academic value, as its rapid spread as one of the most appreciated pastimes attests. , . - i r - Kust Have Them.

These big ierd8 offer, of course, a tremen lous temptation to the raider, as nany as 10,000 camels being taken it a time and the excitement of Iriving off such a herd at full gal op for 40 or 50 miles, with the ex isperated owner possibly hard in pursuit and the chances of the raider finding his own camp has !allen a prey tor some other tribal diversion, appeals irresistibly to the excitable Somali.
