HIS VESSELS WITH PITCH Supply of Asphalt is Inez- '- Inaustlble--7Eprrows Fill Again at Night. The pavements of city streets cry to the clop of horses' hoofs and the, whir; of automobile tires, "Trinidad," in tribute to'the island's 'asphalt deT posits. Radio and telephone wires re- Veberate the refrain, Even the walls of h,ause5 shut out those sounds, as veli as the cold, with the world-fa- mous product of this emerald island of the southern Caribbean. The most southerly island of the West Indies and the largest of the British Islands -In the Caribbean with. the exception of. Jamaica, :lying near the Venezuela coast, Trinidad ships yearly large quantities of asphalt and bitumen, - Supply itumen, Supply` Seems Inexhaustible. When Sir Walter. Raleigh stopped on the shores of Trinidad to 'pay' his vessels with pitch from the famous 'lake,' he said there was enough of the substance for all the vessels of the world for centuries to come, and even the demand which modern civilization hasput upon the supply has scarcely changed the truth of his statement. • About a mile from the shore, near La Brea, the peculiar phenomenon, which has , been variously tered an "infernm o," a "Siygian pool,".and, "the fountain, of Etyx," is located. Had Dante known of its existenceeit prob- ably would have served to stimulate this imagination to still more fantastic flights. However, the Iake about which 50 many interesting stories have been tole doee not' deserve its reputation. A nian who contemplated, suicide in its black 'depths 'would die of starva- tion before the ooze dragged him in above his. knees. The sensation produced byy walking' over: its surface is much like that of • treadingupon some great beast whose iiesh gives beneath the feet—it is soft, blood -warm, and the wrinkles over its surface• 'in the blinding' light of the sun seem to rise and fall withhis breathing and the water which gathers in the furrows suggests that the ani mal is perspiring. It is *said that the area of the. pitch=' : bearing lake is 110 acres and no one knows how deep it is. •There is an almost uncanny feature " eon -fleeted with the removal of the asphalt• from the area. Rails and sleepers have been built out into the lake and each daythe:Iaborers dig up -chunks cf the pitch, which break off with dry, blue - flint -like fractures., and throw them into 'a car which runs on rails. Bach day they make a trough along the sides of the track with their picks and when they return the next morning the trough is filled again level and solid for them to dig up—a furrow O that is never finished. Scars "Heal" by Night. Like the Burning Kush, the lake seems 'never to be consumed, and like the daughters. of Danaus-,• who had to catch water, in a sieve, the men never see the results of their labors, At night a great gully runs across the horizon, and at dawn „the surface is level again. About 'every three days, however, the pitch Swallowe up -the rails and • the sleepers, and they must be raised•. and readjusted onthe surface., Al. though about 100,000 - tons of asphalt are ,being taken from the lake each year, the Tittle track need never be moved; the pitch comes to the rail- ways - The subtle movements of this queer pool have produeed'some "spooky" ef- fects --islands wander like lonely ghosts from `shore to shore; sometimes a tree trunk ticksip out of the surface like the .aim clothed in White samite which bore "Bxoalibur," points its warning .finger and again is drawn back into the Cimmerian depths. One writer has estimated that at least 10,000,000 tons of the mixture have •been churned..iiio asphalt by gas , during..tlie ages in Pitch Lake, which is know:r as Devil's Cauldron among the natt es' About 4,000,000 tons have. already been removed, end by 1920.the .surface rI the lake had fallen fifteen feet bolov"its former level.
