the ancient valley or series OF valleys
was divided into basins by barriers of
rock and of glacial deposits thrown
across it. There is evidence that the
land toward the northeast was elevated
more rapidly than elsewhere, and this
fact is considered to account for the
broad barrier of rock which cuts off
the lake basins from the Atlantic, and
through which the st. Lawrence river
now drains off the surplus water of
those great inland fresh-water seas
which have been formed in the old val
legs behind the vast dams that nature
constructed

ORIGIN OF THE GREAT LAKES.
How GsSlOgists Account for Their For
nation.

How GoolOgiSts Account for Their For
The question how the chain of great
lakes between the United States and
Canada originated is one that has long
occupied the minds of biologists. One
theory that has been widely circulated
asserts that the basins of the lakes were
excavsted by glacial action during the
age Of ice.
Another theory, more recently set
forth with great fullness, holds that the
lake basins were originally valleys hol-
lowed out by the action of water ages
ago when our continent had an eleva-
ton three thousand feet higher than it
has to-day. A great river appears to
have flowed at that time through the
depression now occupied by the lakes.
Later, when the glaciers came, an ex-
tensive sinking of the land occurred,
which was followed, after the disap-
pearance of the ice, by an elevation
again, but not to the height occupied
before.
During these changes of level, and
especially when the reelevation of the
land occurred, according 70 the theory,

occasionally" said a retired burglar
the other day, as related by the Yankee
Blade, "a man transfers to himself in a
single night the accumulations of an
other mans lifetime, but these instances
are very rare, and nothing could be fur
ther from the truth than the idea that
burglary is quick and easy road to
wealth. The fact is that the great ma
jority of burglars make but scant
living, and to make even that they must
encounter many difficulties and dangers.
The burglars reward, whatever it may
be, is never commensurate to the risk
he takes.

patton than burglary. Indeed, when
you come to consider the inconvenient
hours and the general worry and uncer-
tainty of that business the wonder is
that anybody should go into it; if man
is at all inclined to be sensitive he
should certainly keep out of it.
II remember long time ago going
late one night into room in which
there was one man sleeping. His
clothes were on chair near the head of
the bed. I was bending over those

the hall when the man suddenly woke
up. Without an instant's hesitation he
threw his arms around me. was young

At period after the Moorish inva,
sion, when the Christian and Moslem
population became so mixed that it was
hard to say which were Moors and
which Spaniards, the pious Spaniards
hit upon the mustache as means of
Identification. They permitted the hair
on the upper lip to grow, and also a
tuft on the under lip, an outline of the
cross being thus formed. Thus, say the
Parisians, the mustache becomes a
symbol of liberty, equality and frater-
nifty.

Falcons as Military Messengers

A Russian army officer has made
some very successful experiments in the
training of falcons to carry dispatches,
and general attention has been called
to the possibilities of the use of this
bird for messenger purposes in time of
war. The falcons SO trained carried
messages from one garrison to another
with very gratifying success. If the
use of these birds is found to be really
generally practicable they will have
many points of superiority over pigeons
for messenger purposes. They are
much stronger, and some of those so
far tried carried weight of four Rus
sian pounds without hindrance to
speed A not unimportant considera-
ton is that they are not likely to suffer
from attacks Of other birds.

rooster off with a club. A physician was
summonded, who pi ionounced the child's
