The Great Lakes.

Mr.. George Nav, F. L. s., discussing
in the Geological Magazine the origin of
the great lakes, states, among other
facts, that the bottom of Lake Ontario
is 365 feet below the sea-level and 900
feet below its own outlet into the St.
Lawrence; of Erie, 462 feet above the
same; of Huron, 115 feet above; of
Lake Superior, So feet below the sea-
level; and concludes that the idea of
the excavation of Ontario to depth of
600 feet by glacier action is wholly I'M
tensble, and that the theory of glacial
excavation for the chain of large lakes
must be set aside, in which, SAYS the
American journal of Science, he is plainly
right. Mr.. Nav claims that the lake
depressions are of post-glacial origin.
