A lake with n Knit roof Isn't frozen

contrary, this remarkable lako may be
seen at any time during the year, fully
exposed, being even at Its best when
the sun is shining directly upon It
This wonderful body of water Is one of
the saltest of the suit lakes and Is sit
uatcd near Obdorsk, Siberia. The lake
Is uino miles wide ami seventeen long
and within the memory of man was
not entirely roofed over by tbo salt dc
posit. Originally evaporation played
the most prominent part in coating tlio
lake over with salt, but at the present
time tho salt Fprlngs which surround
it are adding fast to the thickness of
tho crust
In tho long ago rapid evaporation of
tho lake's waters left great salt crys
tals floating on the surface. In courso
of time these caked together. Thus Uiu
waters were dually entirely covered.
In 1878 tho lake found an underground
outlet into the river Obi, which low
ercd its surface about three feet The
salt crust wbh bo thick, however, that
it retained Its old level and now pre
sents the curious spectaclo of a salt
roofed lake. Tho salt coat Increases
six Inches In thickness every year. The
many islands with which tho lako is
studded are said to act as braces and
to help keep tho arched salt crust in
position.

fortunately they are more rare than In

of 1751 relates the case of lUchard
