is supplied with water has not yet been discovered. A stream through which it is supposed to empty may be traced a distance of about one hundred feet below the lake, and another stream at the base of the cliff it is thought has its origin through an as yet unlocated subterranean passage from the lake. The water in the lake is moderately hard and good for drinking purposes, though it has a slightly mineral taste; but in the stream at the base of the cliff just mentioned it is exceedingly hard and has a taste which renders it quite unfit for use. The whole range of hills along and through which it courses, is largely composed of gypsum and it is supposed that the water in its passage through the rock receives its peculiar and rather unpleasant taste from coming in contact with the gypsum, and possibly partly also from the effect of its passage through the mineral clay of which the mountain is in part formed.

While it is true that every great work, whether of art or nature, must be seen to be appreciated, yet it is also, in general true that what has been made by man can be described by man. But when it comes to works of nature, man's descriptions utterly fail to give an adequate conception of the thing attempted to be described. Therefore, I leave further description of this marvellous natural wonder to others more capable of doing justice to the subject.
