Wild game is at’ home in these mountains, Deer are nuenwrous sometimes they come down and in the open fields, and oceca- sionally even a bear is driven by hunger into a farmyard.

Even under dense trees, in deep shade, where grass usu- ally does not thrive, it will be found | growing luxuriantly. Many of trees abound, but ful is the silver birch. the gleaming trunks and branches of which litevally shine against the deep green of the foliaxe. But in one sense it can scarcely be xald that there are many valleys, for what ordinarily would be valleys—that is,.deep and wide and long ravines be- iween the ranges of mountains—are lakes. The lakes are so numerous that a list of their names would be almost_like a telephone directo | Lake Champlain and Lake George are | well known, but there are also upper {ana lower Saranac lakes, Tupper Lake, Lake Clear, Raquette Lake, {Loon Lake, Schroon TLake. Lake Vlacid and, perhaps the most beauti- { ful of them all. Mirror Lake. | Through some old geographi {anomaly, the town of Lake Placid is I not on’ Lake Placid at all. but is on Mirror Lake. True, one end of Mirror Lake extends so close to Lake Placid that canoeists put their craft on a pair of wheels and push them 200 vards overland when they want to go from one lake to’'the other. A lane through the trees has been opened for this purpose. There it is called “The Carry-over,” as in the West it is called “The Portage.” The famous Winter sports for which the town of Take Placid s famous in reality take place on Mirror Lake. Lake Placid is perhaps one of the most unusual towns in the country. With a population, normally, of only about 2,000, it boasts probably the heaviest automebile traffic of any town of its size. With but one main thoroughfare, fairly wide and well paved, it is alive with a constant whizzing of cars. Also the shops of this little town compare favorably with those of Fifth avenue. A tiny bullding which to the casual observer would look from its exterior like a cross-roads general store will display the latest models from Paris. Playground of the Wealthy. All this is explained by the fact that in the hotels and the camps surround- | ing the two lakes live some of the richest people in the country.
