Fokien

THE Lakes of the Chineſes are like their Mountains, full of Rarities. There is a Lake in the Province Fokien, which converteth Iron into Copper ; the water veing very green, we preſume it is full of Nitros ſpirits, and ſo diſcoloured with Coperas, which operates in the converſion of this metal.

Another Lake called Chung in the Province of Fokien, hath a greater wonder ; for they report, that in a fair Houſe there erected, as often as rain or a tempeſt is approaching, there is a ſound heard like the ringing of a Bell.
