& v streaked with (TALAN LAKE 1S DEVELOPING TIOE Tnvestigation Shows That Gas- ¢ eous Spring 1s Cause Washington, D. C, Oct, 18 ~— Evidence that the Italian Lake Garda had developed a tide recent- mystified the natives and tourists frequenting this famous bod of water, At regular intervals a rise and fall of more than a foot was registered. Investigation disclosed that the difference in lovel was probably caused by gaseous springs in the bottom of the lake, because as the tide receded great portions of the surface were covered with fine bubbles. “To those who know it, however, Garda is a lake of many moods," says a bulletin from the Washing- ton, D. C., headquarters of the Na- tlonal Geographic society, "It Is as changeable and varicd as the wealth of subtropieal vegetation that clothes its encircling moun- talns and valleys. Twice a day, with more regularity than the lake steamers, comes the relreshing ‘ora,’ or lake breeze, ruffling the aobalt blue of the waters and tem- pering the heat of the sun. Some: times storms whip the surfa into whitecapped rollers and Garda is , as rough as the sea, Italy's Largest Lake “Most of the yearly hest of visi- tors, however, carry back with them indelible wisions of a great inland sea set in a background of enchanting beauty, ‘The southern shores are flat and low, sloping eaglly back from the water into the sunbaked and fertile valley of the Po, As the lake narrows toward the north, first the Alpine hills, and then the higher spure of the Alps fold in upon it. The upper reaches are llke a Norwegian fiord, with precipitous cliffs and deep, quiet waters. “Garda {s Italy's largest lake and, with the exception of Geneva and Constance, is unsurpassed in «ize In the Alpine region. Tt is about 34 miles long, but varles in width from 3 miles to 11 miles, be- ing gourd-shaped wits a long nar- row neck running into the outposts of the Tyrolese Alps. “In many respects it {s more like a small Inland sea than a lake. Its deep blue coloring is like that of the Mediterranean and, unlike its slster Lombardian lakes, it has real sailboats with two mastg, their brown and yellow sails contrasting prettily with the blue of the water and the green background of the hills. Over the surface of Garda hangs a heavy haze at times, con- firming the resemblance to the sea, Tn the winter months gulls enliven the water front with their sharp ories. Once a Trade Route “Lake Garda was once an im- portant link in the trade ruote be- tween Verona and Trent, but the construction of the raflroad up the nearby and more direct Adlge val- ley has left the lake again the quiet dwelling place of beauty of which poets, even as far back as Roman days, have sung. Garda has shared with Gomo the attention of poets and writers of every age, “For many yeats two flags ruled its waves, the northern tip and the city of Riva lying in Austria. Garda was thus a sort of debatable! reglon of romance, whers Latin and Teuton touched elbows, and the plcturesque gunboats of the customs officers waged an unceas- ing war against more plcturesque smugglers. Since the World war the lake ,and the surrounding oountry have been Itallan, “Today lemons, citrons, oranges and grapes share tourists the honor of being the principal ‘industry.’ Along the sheltered west shore, or Riviera as it is called, the lemon plantations scale the steep slopes of the hill- sides, backed by stone walls for protection against the chilling win- ter winds, Tall, fragrant laurel trees, and gloomy cypress and pine mix their follage with sub-tropical palms, yuccas, magnolias and aloes, while the plateaus above are barbaric reds and yellows — truly a paradise for the naturalist and the artlst, Its Colorful Ports “No less colorful and interesting are the many little towns that bor- der the lake. Salo, the main port on the west coast, runs riot in color. The houses are painted to look like wallpaper. The' pinks, greens, yellows, and blues of the walls and the inevitable red tile roofs of these swallow-like homes perched on the hillsides can only be matched by the fringes of fam- ily washings, in as many colors, that flutter in the breeze at the water front, “Nearly at the head of the lake is the little village of Limone, which, it might reasonably be sup- posed, was so named because of its large production of lemons. The atory is really the reverse, for it is said that the fruit derived its name from this Jttle town, being the first place they were grown in Eu- rope. Riva, at the porthern tip, is set in the pit of a towering amphi- theater of mountains and i& the principal tourist resort. Nearby, at Torbole, Goethe wrote the first of his ‘Iphigenie’ in 1786. Since that time the district has been a fav- orite winter resort for wealthy Germans and Austriane. “Running boldly into the center of the southern part ¢f the lake is the narrow peninsula of Sirmione, once a resort of wealthy Romans. A short distance south of the lake olives, with Is the Tower of San Martino, & lofty ‘stone memorial which com- mands a sweeping view of the treat southern end. It commemo- tates the victory of the French and Italians over Austria, at Solferino n 18569, “At the effluent, the southeast rorner, is Peschiera, with extensive wncient fortifications. The city, once a corner of the celebrated Austrian ‘quadrilateral’ has al- ways bgen important in a military and strategic eense, Along its wa- erfront are many gondola-like soats, showing the lingering influ- wmee of the time ahofinh was part of the great maritime repub. lic of Venice, “Tides or changes of level In freshwater lakes ave not unusual, A phenomenon has been observed on Lake Geneva, and on other lakes also, which s known in Switzerland as ‘Selches.!’ These are fluctuations in the level of the wa- ter and are caused by sudden al- teration in the atmoepheric pres- sure, . ‘Seiches’ runs both longi- tudinally and transversely, and the highest on record is sald to be six foet."

What is con- sldered as confirmation of this was furnished at a meeting of the com- mittee on poljtics at which a group, headed by Henry Iranklin Bouillon, president of the foreign affairs com- mittee of the chamber of deputies, which was desirous of breaking with the socialiste, was outvoted after a llvely debate. Thus tar M. Herrlot, to‘close ob- servers, seems trinmphant, He ap- pe to command at least 75 per cent of the votes, and his opening address has been adopted as the party's declaration. The attitude of the radlical and radical-soclalist partieg seen fn the resolution of M. Franklin Bouillon introducefl yesterday.
