ed most serious influence upon the rapidity
with which Il was found possible To transmit
words through the full extent of the wire
Constant experiments, joined with practical
skill n working the wire daily, have enabled
Mr.. W hitehoUSe to overcome SO much of this
resIst'uce that five words per minute can now
be sent through the 22OO miles Of cable az
present at heyham, and it is fully expected
that before the time comes for its second sub
mergement eight words will be Transmitted
with ease and certainty. To many Of our
readers unacquainted with the practical work
ing OF submarine lines, only words per min
ute may appear to be but poor result, after
AL, though we can assure them that, If ever
attained, 1t is such an improvement in the
rate OF transmissions as not many venturcd To

such result seems to show, with great clear
ness, that, although $50 words per hour
through this line, if it is successfully laid
down, might doubtless amply remunerate the
company, it would still be almost as far as
ever from accommodating the business mes
sages between Europe and the New World.
1t, therefore, this line is submerged this sum

there seems no reason why, if one can be laid

with table giving the dimensions of ninety
three lakes IN Minnesota, comprising the lar
ger number OF those most known. Thousands
oil others OF smaller extent are distributed over
the surface OF the country, and a great many
oil mile or two In length have been omitted
for want of a name. The largest lakes.in the
State, according to this table, are Red Lake,
IN Pembina county, thirty miles long by 90
wide; Big Stone Lake, thirty miles long by
three wide; Mile Lac, twenty miles long and
fifteen wide; Lac Traverse, twenty five miles
long by three wide. Most of the list. howsv-

Interesting Decision.-A legal decision was
made on Friday last in the St. Louis Land
Court, which, if sustained, it is thought will
affect greater amount of property than anv
legal decision heretofore made. In the case
OF Adams VS.. the city of St. Louis, his honor
Judge Lord instructed the jury that if tho
land contested was a sand bar in the Miss;s-
sippi when Mississippi became a State. tho
land IS now part of the State, and the plair
tift's title derived by purchase from the Uni
ted States Is therefore null. Whence it wouId
follow that all sales made by the United
States of lands formed since the existence of
the adjacent States are void. The princinle
Is even applied by the Judge to all lands
overtiowea at high water since the inception
OF the proximate States. All lands reclaimed
from the rivers would then belong to the
States-y gth the limitation named. But such
lands have hitherto been regularly entered in
the United States Land Office, and the pre-
sent holders of them are titled as proprietors
from that othce. Should the above ruling be
affirmed by the Supreme Court of the United
State, it would destroy the titles by which are
now held the sugar lands of Louisiana. the
bottom lauds of Missouri, Ohio and Illinois.
and the dried swamp lands of these and 9th.

MYSTERY or THE AMERICAN LAKEss-bake Erie
only so or 20 feet deep but the bottom of Lake On
tario which is 592 feet deep $50 feet below the tide
level of the ocean, or as low as most parts of the
Gulf of ST. Lawrence aud the bottoms Of Lakes HUI
ron, Michigan and Superior although their surface
Is SO much higher, all, from their vast depth on
a level with the bottom of Lake Ontario.
Now, as the discharge through the river Detroit,
after allowing for the full probable portion carried off
by evaporatonI does not appear by any means equal
to the quantity of water which the three upper great
lakes receive, it has been conectnred that subter-
ranean river may run from Lake Superior to Huron
and to Ontario This conjecture is by no means i'm.
probable, aud accounts for the singular fact that
salmon and herring are caught in all the lakes com.
muncating with the ST. Lawrence, but in no others.
AS the Falls Of Niagara must have always existed it
would puzzle the natualists to say how these fish
got into the upper lakes without some such subter
raueau river; moreover, any periodical obstruction
Of the river would furnish not improbable solution
Of the mysterious fIux and rehux of the lakes.
Upon this the editor Of the Scientific American
remarks:
Are salmon aud herring found in the lakes and
rivers above the Falls of Niagara? If So it affords
strong grounds for supposng there is subterranean
communication between Ontario and the upper lakes;
Il not we can see no grounds for such conclusion.
