VERMONT DRFORESTAT
How it Exerts IA Harmful Influence on
Traffic ON the Like.

Not for many years has the water been so
low IN the lake as it is now. 1t is nearly at
the foot of the government gauge ON the
Central wharf and has receded far from its
customary margins on the lake shore Many
landing places at the docks and number
OF slips where boats are accustomed to lac,
are rendered dangerous and useless by
the shrinkage of the lake, and it is not
unlikely that some dredging will have to
be done before long. The lowering of the
lake Is attributed TO the light rains for Il
considerable period back, and il is Il no
tlceable fact, to those VINO are in such a
position to take note of such things, that
each year the recession of the water seems
To DE farther and farther than in the pre-
Nlous season, and that year by year points
along shore that were uneNpOsed, have
become continually more plainly visible
Tie explanation OF these phenomena lies,
without doubt, in the ruthless and crimi-
mai uetoreatatlOu on the mountains both
OF this state and in New York, thereby
diminishing the volume of the feeding
streams. Any one who lives near n brook
or river. noW-a-d DAYS, can almost perceive
a daily dlmnutiOn in the volume of water,
ana many streams that, "A few years ago
were Of respectable size, are now com

business was necessarily lost this year
Channels will have to be dredged very
likely, if the water continues in the future
To grow shallow. The same difficulty is
complained of, though to less degree,
by the boats whose trips lie up the lake.

In IA .Itl.Ni.U' I'D &tw York on Mon

ter to Turkey, who is now in this country
and will probably not return to Turkey,
said The grandest educational iustitu-

lege have been the master minds in the

Prince Alexander attained prominence.
How this question may be settled without
involving Europe in a gigantic war is
Il difficult problem to solve. If Russia is
allowed to establish her influence in Bal
garia and Roumelin the independence of
Turkey is at an end. The first move of
