r THE SHAH A GEOGRAPHER,
Bvi Then la k flaikMoa tiut Oil Mikk|ii|
Now LmJM la 4k mad. 0
The shah of Persia, is dabbling in R
geography. A recent issuo of The 2
Ivan, the official gazette of Teheran, f
contains an article, purportirtfe to have n
0 been prepared by tho shah himself, descriptive
of a strange, new-lake, of J*
? dimensions large enough tn mako it
almost an inland sea, that has of, late
years appeared in the Great Salt P
Desert, the "Dashtri-Kavir.* The v
ground in this desert is covered with ?
a white crust of salt, it.is habitable d
only in a few isolated spots, and there ai
p are said to bo vast morassos, escape w
from which i?* impossible once a
traveler ventures into them. Tradi ~
tion is, howover, that once this tract J*
was covered by a sea. with numorous j*
ports and harbors, lighthouses and T(
commorca There has always been a R
s-ort of expectation among the Persians
that some day tho sea would Jtoturn and ?
^ covor tho
ii?u uuiuo nviu i.uiiumnnvTVH'o inwrcsi "
occasioned by this wis so great that
tho czar himself visited thfe spot. In "
his account of it ho says that a smalj I*
lake, known as tho "Lako of Savalv "
formerly existed thero, but that it w
"dried up about 1,857 years ago on tho a
day tho prophet?may tho blessings of
God bo upon him and his posterity? "
i was born. It reappeared about six J11
rears ago." Tho shnpe of this now ll
nody of water the shall describes in 0<
homely fashion. Ho says: "The figure n
of tho lako may bo compared to that 01
? of a pair of spectacles. There aro tw< |*
lakes joined by a narrow channel,
e which is about two miles in width o>
a little less." The shah wears specta- J*
clcs. Tlio sizo of tlio lako ho gives at
100 miles in circumference. As to its "
origin ho says: ?
"From observations which have
beon made we conclude that this lako "
has been formed by waters which
bubbled up in tho Kavir like fountains st
r from underground, for tho rivers
which flow into it nave not changed
3 their direction and did'tibt foSn a lake. | **
A camel driver of the Arab nomads of
f tho Keleku tribe, which has its camp- fl
ing ground on tne shores of tlio lake, /
tola us that he had seen with his own "
eves how six vears aeo a crreftt nnan
tfty of water iSubbled up in tlio middle w
of the Kavir, and, gradually increas- Cl
(, ing, finally submerged the places K
j whore it had appoarea." ^
Sad to say, in spite of the shah's apV
parently honest efforts to tell the truth "
about his new lake, there is a harrow- "
f ing suspicion that his honesty has 1
j been fooled, and that, instead of tho
lako that disappeared on tho day tho
u prophet was horn reappearing now 15
out of the bosom of the eartli into ^
' which it vanished, tho now body of l1
water has its origin in a much leas r
^ mysterious fashion. fThere a coin- P
cidenco between the date of tho ap- n
1 pearanco of tho new lake and that of ?
y tho oponing of a new road from Tehc- *
e ran to Kour, which becomes irregular,
in view of the fact that the lako covers
<amders impassable the old i-oad.
