This lake lies at a lower level than the others, being only 230feet above the sea. It is, however, about 500 feet in depth. The whole area of these lakes is over 90, 000 miles, and the area of landdrained by them, 335, 515 miles. The presence of this great body of water modifies the range of thethermometer, lessening the intensity of the cold in winter and of theheat in summer, and gives a temperature more uniform on the Lake coaststhan is found in a corresponding latitude on the Mississippi. T...he difference between the temperature of the air and that of theLakes gives rise to a variety of optical illusions, known as _mirage. _Mountains are seen with inverted cones; headlands project from the shorewhere none exist; islands clothed with verdure, or girt with cliffs, rise up from the bosom of the lake, remain awhile, and disappear. Hardly a day passes, during the summer, without a more or less strikingexhibition of this kind. The same phenomena of rapidly varyingrefraction may often be witnessed at sunset, when the sun, sinking intothe lake, undergoes a most striking series of changes.
