MYSTERY OF THE AMERICAN TAKEs.-Lake
Eric is only GO OF 10 feet deep, bat the bot
tom of Lake Ontario. which is 500 feet deem
is go feet below the tide level of the ocean,
or ms low as most parts of the Gulf of st.
Lawrence. and the bottoms of Lake Huron.
Michigan and Superior, although their surface
is SO much higher, are all, from their vast
depth, on level with the bottom of Lake
Ontario.
Now, as the discharge through the river
Detroit, after allowing for the full probable Dor
ton carried off by evaporation, does rot an
pear by any means cqlal to the quantity of
water which the three upper great lakes re.
ceivc, it has been conf CIR d that subter-
ranran river may run from Lake Superior
to Lake Ontario. This conjecture is bv no
means improbable, and accounts for the s,np
ular fact that salmo" and herring are caught
IN all the Lakes communicating with the ST.
Lawrence, but in no others. As the Falls
of Niagara must have always existed it would
puzzle the Naturali>ts to say how these fish
got INTO the liver; moreover any periodical
obstruction of the river would furnish n not
improbable solution Of the mysterious lux
and rotlux Of the lakes.
Upon this the editor Of the Scientific Amer.
lean remarks:
" Are So mon and herring found in the
lakes and rivers above the Falls of Magyar. :?

There Is subterraneons communication be.

deposited in his room-contrary of course to

" Well, what explanation can you make?"
"Why, the fact is. sir, that my ply stefan

FARMERS PLANT APPLE ORCHARDS -
II any farmer who has had for twenty years
a good orchard of grated apple trees proper,
~ selected for market and in tolcrably favor
able portions Of the country, has kept an ac-
count of the annual acreage product of his
trees for that time, he will find they have
nettcd him fifty dollars per acre year. This
remark applies to such orchards as have no
care, Those which have received good cult
yation have done better
Why then cultivate whole farms at hard
labor, Tor net proceed Of five dollars per
acre! Why not plant orchards They
won't bear in an age" That is because
then, they receive no care. Give them tic
same chance that crop Of potatoes receives,
land which would not cost tenth of the
labor expended yearly on the potatoes and
they will send out shoots two three feet long
but lfncglcc,ed and weed grown and grass
bound, they will grow only two or three IN
chcs IN one instance twelve time as fast as
in the other. No wonder, then, while the
thrifty orchardist with his thrifty orchard,
has fine young trees with recommending crops
in five years, the slip-shod culivator does
not attain the same in fifty years, at tho
above estimated rates Of growth. These rates
are stated from the result of actual expert
mcnt, and not from hap hazard estimates
Plant orchards, then. of the best varieties.
Occasionally, it is true, there may be destitute

overstock the common market. Bat the
above yearly average may be attained at least.
