And if you have not, then you could not tell—
For you could not understand.

One of the most beautiful lakes in the world is Lake Tahoe. It is six thousand feet above sea-level, and the mountains around it rise four thousand feet higher. ∗ ∗ ∗ The first thing one would notice, perhaps, is the wonderful clearness of the lake water. As one stands on the wharf the steamer Tahoe seems to be hanging in the clear green depths with her keel and propellers in plain sight. The fish dart under her and all about as in some large aquarium. ∗ ∗ ∗ Every stick or stone shows on the bottom as one sails along where the water is sixty or seventy feet deep.
