A STRANGE LAKE.
The Peculiarities of ■ Dolly of Wate*

Lake .George Is situated about rour
miles from the railway'station at Bun-
gendotv. Australia, and has for many
years engaged the attention of scien
tific men by reason of the singular atid

7 miles will be found tolerably correct
At either end the land Is fully 100 feet
above the highest ivi'orded surface of
the lake, which pob..esses uo known
outlet, although It Is fed Jby numerous
mountain crocks.
The lake was dlseovereil by a Itunh-
nun In 182:) and wn^ known to the
Macks as the "big water." It was then
supposed to form the source of a river
Laving Its mouth on the south const,
hut subsequent visitors were much
perplexed at the manner In which the
blacks avoided the la. e, of which they
appeared to entertalu a superstitious
dread, one aged aboriginal stating she
had seen 11 all covered with trees, an
other explaining that the whole of the
water sunk through the bottom and
disappeared, while others remembered
the lake only ns a scries of Bmall

During the following 20 years con
siderable variations were noted In the
depth and extent cf the lake. In 1841
the lake became partially dried Up. the
moist portions being simply grassy
swamps. A few months later large
numbers of sheep wen- pastured In the
bed of the lake, but fresh, water had to

that of the lake being too salt for hu
man consumption. The place remained
more or less dry until lSr>2. the year of
the groat floods In that part of the col
ony. when It again became filled, with
an average de{)th of nine feet. Since
then the surface level of the lake has
varied considerably, but the bed has
never been so dry as In former years.
Then- are Indications that many bun
dreds of years ago the lake covered n
far larger area than any yet recorded,
remains of trees over 100 years old be
ing found In spots formerly under ren
ter. The saline character of the lake Is
the more remarkable by reason of Its
being fed by pure atffi sparkling fresh
water streams.

while a visit to the kitchen ends In a
bum from tbe oven or u scald from hot

thing to do with a bun Is to got It
away from all contact with the air and
to do this with all possible Imste.
The necessary articles for the treat
ment should be on band, and they are
baking soda—not washing soda, notice
—fresh fat of some sort and several
thicknesses of cotton cloth. It Is sn
excellent plan to have a bottle of car
ron oil ready for such emergencies.
Cnrron oil Is made by shaking together
equnl parts of linseed oil and l line wa
ter. If the skin Is broken over the
bum. use the oil without the soda.
Otherwise moisten the soda with olive
oil or sweet oil or even lard or eold
cream and apply It. Over this wrap
the cloth. Cotton bnltlng Is often used
for covering the buru and keeping out
tbe air, hut It Is not to Ik- recommend
ed. It Is not a good plan to use flour,
dusting It over a bum. for It frequently
hardens and Is of little comfort.
One of the simplest measures for a
superficial hum Is to apply the white of
an egg with a soft piece of old muslin,
adding more as It dries.

An Anecdote of Verdi.
The first production of Verdi’s op
era “Otbelio” took place at Milan, and
nil tbe prominent musical critics of Eu
rope foregathered In the Cathedral
City In honor of the occasion. Among
them was a Parisian Journalist of wide
reputation nnd admitted authority In
the musical world. His first cure od
his arrival In Milan was to seek out
Verdi and usk to be allowed to be pres
ent nt one of the final rehearsals.
The composer received him with ex
treme politeness, but replied that he
could not possibly grant hls request,
as he bad ili-ctded that the rehearsals
were to be absolutely private, and he
could not make an exception In the fa
vor #f any one journalist, however dis
tinguished.
The Paris critic, far from pleased at
this answer, protested that In these
circumstances hls account of the opera
might not lie nil he should like It to
be. "You see," ho explained to tbe
composer, who affected not quite to
understand. “I shall have to telegraph
my article the same evening. It will
necessarily be hastily written, and the
impression In Paris the next dny may
suffer In consequence."
But Verdi was more than equal to
the occasion. "My dear sir,” be made
