GREAT PUBLIC INTEREST.
The lowering of the waters has loft bare, standing as they probably .stood 2000.years ago, two slender 'marble columns, the reason for tho presence of wlficli has not yet been ascertained. At another part of the lake a wall about iiOO feet long of heavy massive stone, with another parallel wall slightly lower, has been brought to light. They are supposed to have formed a kind of port for boats.
It is assumed that at this point the Emperor Caligula and his courtiers used to take boats to go on board ships in the middle of the lake.
As the reducing of the water progresses, interest among scientists and the public is increasing. Numerous tourists and excursionists already pay visits to the vicinity of the lake, especially on Sundays, in tlio hope of hearing of some archaeological discovery or witnessing the progress of tho operations.
