A FLOATING ISLAND.
Remarkable Freak of Nature in
a Vermont Lake.
Over 100 Acres of Moveable
Land, With Trees For Sails.
The flouting island in Sad.twga Lake,
in the town of Whittingliiini, Yl., is
one of Ihe tnosl remarkable freaks of
nature and one of the greatest curi -i-ties
in til" world. The island contain
over I '" acres, and it aiiuully floats
upon the lop of the water. There is
no doubt about it. It is not attached
I i the main'anjl ur tiny part of Ihe
lake.
The fact that il reiiUy floats on the
water wu made evident bi-t year. At
that lime a alone dam wa buill at the
millet of the lake oyer six feel high,
w liich raised the w ater a little ncn;
than six feet. When Ihe gate were
shut and the water for the tiit time
began to rise in the lake, there was
great curiosity to sen whelher Ihe
island would be submerged or rise
with the water. It took aboil I
hours for the water in the lal e to rise
to the top of the dam. and il was then
di-eoveed that the iland presented
exaelly the same appeara nee that il
did when the water was j feet low
er. There i no purl of the i-laml tliul
has ewe In in more ilciu two or three
feel llbove the surface of the water.
Therefore, if il did mil Moil when the
lake wa raised -is feet by this new
dam, it Would have been etilirely sub
merged. Since the water was raised this great
ma- of I Mid ha floated abotil oeo,.
readily than it previously did. Tui
tions of il, containing from one lo
three acre, have been broken away
from Ihe main island, and go sw im
ming in inn. I independent ly. There
are four such pieces. Three of ihcm
are close logi tln r. and already .'" or
no mds to the norlheast of tin- main
i-laild. Sonieliliies Ihey are live of si
rods apart. Then again the will be
all in a cluster, the smaller ones float
ing around fa-ler than the larger ones,
as the wind carries ihein more easily.
The great main i-hnd. which con
tains over Iimi acre, move about
slowly. The prevailing winds are
from the soulli and wc-l. and after il
has blow n hard for a day or t wo the main
island is found to have changed il po
sition several roil. Sometime it will
be near Ihe ea-t shore, and then a? ain
it moves over toward the west. Il
never ha come nearer than a iptaiier
of a mile of tin north shore.
There is a m;. foie-l of tamarack
.res growing upon this remarkable
i land. Some of them are more than
tweiity-liie feel high. Theyaie in a
tin illy condition, and are of la'ge sie
al the butt. Smaller trees of the -urn i
kind nre rapidly growing up beside
them. The wonder i limy the roots
of these trees are noiiiihed. The
lake is sitnaled in marshy surround
ings ou the southwest side, and il is
supposed that I here is vegetable mat
ter enough in Ihe water to keep
the grass in healthy condition. Cran
berry bushes crow ingieat luxuriance.
Ill some places they are so thick that
il i-dilli.illl to pa- throug h them, and
the berries, which are of the wild soil,
are gal hei ed in large ipiatilitie by ihe
native that live about the islands
Alder berries and u great variety of
native weeds grow on all puis of Ihe
island. The surface is spongy, an. I in
many place -ofi. bill there are other
part of it w here il i comparatively
sold.
