A Phenomenal Lake.

An Alaska travler recently described some extraordinary phenomena connected with a small lake named Selawik, situated near the sea coast. Tides rise and fall in the lake, perhaps on account of an underground connection with the sea. At the bottom, he says, the water is salt, but on the top there is a layer of sweet water.
