The same system seems to have beenfollowed by the prehistoric discoverers of the waters ofSt. Moritz, to raise their level above the swamps of theupper end of the lake, where the Neues Stahlbad nowstands. They first built an outer caisson of trunks offir trees, fastened atthe joints or cornersin the same way thatthe Swiss dwellers inhigh valleys fasten thetimber frames of theirhuts, by means ofmortises and woodenpegs. It was proba-bly meant as a pro-tection of the orificeof the spring againstlandslides, or ice orsnow.
