Some of tliein are mysterious bodies having uei- iner tniet nor outlet nor. so lar as can be discovered by sounding, bot torn. -uany or tne smaller lakes are slowly growing over and have wide margins of tough sod that will up port the weight ol a man, although merely resting on water or a tnin mud of unknown depth. These margins tremble to the tread and quiver for many feet around when stepped upon. There are instances where a lake has be come entirely overgrown and for so long a period that the surface be comes solid and the existence of water underneath is unsuspected. The Pere Marquette Railroad company when building a branch between Grand Rapids and Lansing returned to the work one morning to find that several rods of roadbed had disappeared during the night and a considerable lake had taken its place. Thousands of feet of timber and many carloads of earth were dumped in before bottom was found and the road had anything like a firm foundation. The pres sure of the displaced water heaved the earth and cracked it for some distance around, tilting large for est trees, some of which fell. Water came up through these crevices, bringing eyeless tish, both bass and bullheads, convinciiiir cer tain former skeptics. that when any organ of sense or locomotion falls into disuse it degenerates and final ly is lost.

The wa ter is red and unlit to drink, and millions of minute particles of veg etable matter are held in suspen sion and are in commotion as . if stirred by force of an undercurrent or boiling springs. The ou.'y fish are big mouthed bass and bullheads. For all that the water seems to be so swampy in character it does not detract from the flavor of the fish, proba bly owing to the fact of its being of better quality in its lower depths. .Nagley's lake, in Kent county, is formed like a great horseshoe and is about seven miles in circumfer ence.
