"The works of the ancient lake-dwellers of Switzerland."-D. Wilson: Prehistoric Man, i. 119. lake-dwelling, s. & a.

A. As substantive:

The

Anthrop. (pl.): The Pfahlbauten of German, the habitations lacustrines of French writers. earliest account of similar dwellings is to be found in Herodotus (Terps. v. 14), who describes a Thracian tribe living, in 520 B. C., in a small mountainlake of what is now Roumelia. The custom of constructing these habitations has come down to the present day. The fishermen of Lake Prasias, near Salonica, still inhabit wooden cottages built over the water, as the Thracian tribes did, and in the East Indies the practice of building lake-settlements is very common.

1. The lake-dwellings proper of Switzerland came to light during the winter months of 1853-4, when the water of the lakes fell much below its ordinary level. Dr. Keller, who first described these lakedwellings, says that the main platform was made of round timbers, rarely of split boards, covered with a bed of mud; the walls and sides were in great measure of interlaced branches, the interstices filled with moss, and daubed with clay. In his opinion, all the evidence goes to show they were rectangular in shape. It is probable that the huts were thatched, and the parts used as dormitories strewn with straw or hay. M. Troyon (Sur les Habitations Lacustrines) thinks they were round, as were the huts of many nations on the shore. It has into rooms, or whether they contained a single chamber. Keller (Lake-dwellings of Switzerland (ed. Lee), p. 3) distinguishes three modes of construction:

Bot.: Hare's-tail grass, a genus of Graminaceae, tribe Aveneæ. Lagurus ovatus is a soft, hairy, annual, tufted grass, with short, flat leaves, a short ligule and long awns. Found in Guernsey, and naturalized near Saffron Walden. It is more common in Southern Europe and in parts of Asia.

Anthrop.: The same as LAKE-SETTLEMENT (q. v.). lake-weed, s.

Bot.: Polygonum hydropiper. lake-worship, s.

Comp. Religions: A particular kind of waterworship noticed by Sir John Lubbock (Prehistoric Times (1869), p. 269) to refute a theory that the gold ornaments dredged up from the sites of lake-dwellings were offerings to the gods. That certain lakes were held sacred by ancient nations is indisputable. Tacitus, describing the worship of Herthus (or Hertha), gives cogent reasons (Ger xi.) why more particulars were not obtainable in his day:

Servi ministrant, quos statim idem lacus haurit. Arcanus hinc terror, sanctaque ignorantia, quid sit id, quod tantum perituri vident."

The following authorities may also be consulted: Cic., in Verr., v. 72, de Nat. Deor., iii. 20, 30; Mart., i. 50, ix. 59; Ovid., Met. v. 405, 406.

Paint.: The generic name of a variety of transparent red and other pigments of great beauty, prepared for the most part by precipitating colored tinctures of dyeing drugs upon alumina and other earths, &c. The lakes are hence a numerous class of pigments, both with respect to the variety of their appellations and the substances from which they are prepared. The coloring matter of common lake is Brazil wood, which affords a very fugitive color. Superior red lakes are prepared from cochineal, lac, and kermes; but the best of all are those prepared from the root of the Rubia tinctoria or Madder-plant.

la-ma (2), s. [LLAMA.]

La-ma-Işm, s. [Eng. lama; -ism.]

Compar. Religions: A system partly religious, partly political-the Church and State Establishment of Thibet-standing in the same relation to Buddhism proper as Roman Catholicism stands to primitive Christianity. It has also been defined as a form of Buddhism, modified by Saivism and in A. D. 622 by Srong Tsan Kampo, who founded Shamanism." Buddhism was introduced into Thibet the present capital, now known as Lhasa. His zeal was now shared by his two queens, one named Bribsoon, a princess from Nepaul, the other Wen Ching, a princess from China, who are said to have founded La Branq and Ra Mochay, the most famous religious houses in Thibet. From the death of this king down to about 850 is called the "First Intro duction of Religion.' More than a century of civil war followed, and in 971 there took place the "Second Introduction of Religion " into Thibet. For more than 300 years Buddhism grew in power and wealth, and Kublai Khan embraced the doctrine of the Lamas. Under his successors the dignity of abbot at Sakya became hereditary, the abbots breaking the rule of celibacy. In 1590, Tsongkapa, the Thibetan monastic reformer, appeared in Lhasa, and at his death, in 1419, he left three immense monasteries with 30,000 monks. The two things on which he insisted were, (1) the observance of celibacy, and (2) simplicity in dress. About the middle of the fifteenth century, the Emperor of China acknowledged the leaders-the Dalai Lama and the Pantshen Lama-as titular overlords of the Church and tributary rulers of Thibet. They were abbots of the monasteries at Gedun Dubpa near Lhasa, and Krashis Lunpo in Further Thibet, and their successors still exercise the same rights. Both are looked upon as incarnations-living in heaven, and appearing on earth in an apparitional body. When one dies he is supposed to become incarnate in some male child born about that time. There is a hierarchy corresponding in a marked degree to that of the Roman Church, and Huc & Gabet describe the principal act of religious worship as wonderfully like a high-mass. The political authority of the Dalai Lama is confined to Thibet but he is head of the Buddhist Church throughout Mongolia and China. (Rhys Davids, in Encyc. Brit.)

la-ma-ist, s. [Eng. lama; -ist.] One who professes lamaism (g. v.).
