 Professor BIAke-Lake COhu1lla Is
 the Name Given by Professor Blake
 to the Ancient Lake by His Right as
 DiscOverer.
 The letter given below is not only of na- tional interest but one of special interest to our towns people. It relates to the vast new inland sea recently form ed in the great Colorado des- ert, the reports concerning which won derful transformation have excited world wide attention and about which so much has been published of late in all parts of the United States, and in the English and other European journals of note. The subject is of special interest to New Haven and matter of local pride, as one of our townsmen, Professor William P. Blake, was the discover of and first described this great Colorado desert and what he then predicted concerning it has come to pass. Away back in 1858 he led United States exploring expedition through this then unknown region, more weird and dreadful than the then also unknown ''Death Valley" This wonderful desert has been described as "the hottest place in the world," hotter by far than Death Val ley and even more pict uresque. The Colorado desert was the original tornado del Muerto, or valley of death of the Mexi- cans. This extraordinary region is soon to be more fully explored by the United States government
 In this months Scribner's J. W. Powell o1 ] the U. s. geological survey, has an article or ''The New Lake in the Desert" in which he describes how the great basins of the world were formed as revealed by geology and speaks of the possibilities of reclaim ing the great Colorado desert, tasl which he thinks mans ingenuity and eff forts may accomplish and which he thinks will certainly be attempted. In closing h. | says: "But if all difficulties, physical anc chemical, can be overcome. the reward l is great, for in that climate every farm Il
 garden. It is the land of the date palm the Egypt of America"
 To Professor Blake of this city belong the honor of the discovery of this vast | mysterious desert, and ,as stated above, the | fact which he, away back in '53 in his re | port to the United States government, pre- | dicted as in the course of events likely t.
 occur, has been accomplished desert or, rather, large area therein, has again
 after vast number of years, become al inland sea.

Of for Niagara Tomorrow.

The Niagara four days visit, under per sonal supervision of Manager Peck, is con- plete in all it's arrangements and the Housatonic Niagara express will start to- morrow, October 13, for one of the most charming tours that can be laid out for a person with limited time at their disposal. The superb scenery all along the Housa- ton Valley and through New York state is worth the trip and the feelings on arrival at the world-famed Niagara Falls will be those of astonishment and delight. People should realize the fact that if necessary on account of limited means, the trip may be taken complete for fifteen dollars, and the coupon ticket book issued for that amount allows the visitor free access to the princi pal places of observation, also provides for fourteen-mile carriage drive and several side trips and excursions. The train leaves the Derby depot here at 7:3O, drawing room car to be attached at Botsford Junc- tion. Tickets for greater convenience of patrons should be at once procured by those not provided at 702 Chapel street.
