towns on piles or stakes driven into the
bottom of the lake. ....
All over Europe the remains of these

Swiss and German lakes pierced through
tie huts; sometimes floods verwhelmed
them; sometimes a stealthy enemy broke
into their defenses and burned the whols
village as if it were a nest of venomous
insects. The ashes of maay of ths
towns are found at the bottom of the
lakes, showing that they were destroyed
by fire. They were usually joined to
the shore by a bridge of stakes, over
which an enemy could pass.
Manv of these towns are found in the
lakes and ponds of Ireland and Scotland.
Here they are called "crannoges." They
teem to have been less carelessly built
than those of Switzerland, but they still
show that the people who planned them

3,000 trees, some of great size, had been

We who live in safe and pleasant citiei
or country houses can scarcely believs
that people could exist in these wild re
treats in;the - midst of the -waters. Yei
is seems mat they were inhabited by s
large population, even in Scotland. Here
men, women and children lived and
died, sometimes perhaps as happily as iJ
they had lived in New York or Boston.
They caught fish from their house doors;
e children swam in . the waters : thev
wmetimes cultivated grain on the land.
and sometimes lived, like ! squirrels. on
the nuts of the forests. -
Men have not, even yet, given mt these
lk dwellings. :: The sa ages in South

neo still build them, but they are said to
be not so skillful as were the builders on
