DEPTH OF THE GREAT LAKES. - There is
a mystery about the American lakes.
Lake Erie is only sixty or seventy feet
deep; but Lake Ontario, which is 500
feet deep, is $50 feet deep below the
tide level Of the ocean, or az low as
most parts Of the Gulf OF st. Lawrence,
and the bottom of Lakes Huron, Michi-
gan and Superior, although the surface
is much higher, are all, from their vast
depth, on level with the bottom of
Ontario. Now, as the Detroit River,
after allowing all the probable portion
carried off by evaporation, does not ap-
pear by any means equal to the quanti-
ty of water which the three upper lakes
receive, it has been coniectured that
subterranean river may run from Lake
Superior, by the Huron, to Lake QHta-
rio. This conjecture is not impossible,
and accounts for the singular fact that
herring and salmon are caught in all
the lakes communicating with the st.
but no others. As the Falls
of Niagara must have always existed, it
@o0ld puzzle ssls aasurnsiat 10 sag how
these fish got into the upper lake with
out some subterranean river; besides,
any periodical examinations of the river
would furnish not improbable ISOLATION
of the mysterious fux and refux OF the
lakes.
