DErTH OF THE GREAT LAKEs.-There is
mystery about the American lakes. Lake
Erie is only sixty or seventy feet deep but
Lake Ontario, which is soc feet deep, is
$50 feet deep below the tide level of the
ocean, or as low as most parts of the Gulf
of st. Lawrance and the bottom of Lakes
Huron, Michigan and Superior, although
the surface is much higher, are all from
their vast depth on a level with the bottom
of Ontario; now as the Detroit River
after allowing all the probable portion
carried off by evaporation, does not appear
by any means equal to the quantity of
water which the three upper lakes receive,
it has been corjectured that d subterrauean
river may run from Lake Superior by the
Huron. TO Lake Ontario. This conjecture
is not impossible, and accounts for the
singular fact chat herring and salmon are
caught in all the lakes communicating with
the st. Lawrence, but no- others. As the
Falls of Niagara must have always existed,
it would puzzle the naturalist to say how
these fish got into the upper lake without
some subterranean river besides, any peri
odical examinations of the river wonld fur
nish a not improbable solution of the mys-
terious fux and reflux of the lakes.
THE WONDERS OF A FLEA.-When a
flea is made to appear as large an
elephant we can see all the wonderful
parts of its formation, and are astonished
to find that It has a coat of armor much
more complete than ever warrior wore, and
composed of strong polished plates, fitted
over each other, each plate covered like a
tortoise SHE'LL and where they meet hun
dre6s of strong qnills project, like those on
the back Of a porcupine and hedge hog.
There is the arched neck, the bright eye,
the transparent cases, the piercers to pune
ture the skin, a sucker to draw away the
blood. six long ,jointed legs, four of which
are folded on the breast, all ready at any
moment to be thrown out with tremendous
force for that jump which bothers one
when they want TO catch him, and at the
end of each leg hooked claws, to enable
him to cling to whatever he alights upon.
A flea can jump hundred times its own
length which is the same as if man
jumped six hundred feet; and he can draw
a load two hundred times his own weight.
