act in the line of removing the differ

German complaint Of discriminat ton
l. apparently this repre- ntat iOn has
made but little impression, for he has
cabled the state department that the
German minister had disclaimed anv

him the prohibition of our cattle was
based solely on sanitary reasons that
could not be neglected; that there
was We terlnary evidence to show that
recent importations of cattle CON
tanned two we'll efined cases of Texas
fever, and therefore the prohibition
could not not be removed OF course
our state department can not go be-

try ing to dlSprOve the diagnosis OF

then settle down to a waiting policy

Only an Incident.

Railroad travel has it's pathetic no less
than its humorous aspects. In slow
train the other day sat a worn looking,
shabbily dressed man with an infant in
his arms. The little one was wrapped in
an old lace shawl, and the ribbon about
its waist and in its cap had evidently been
placed there by unskilled hands. 1t seemed
contented as it fed from its bottle, and
from time to time the man pressed it close
to him and looked in its face with
dimmed, tender eyes. A woman with a
kind face, who sat near made a remarP
about the beauty of the child, and the fa-
ther looked up with pathetic smile.
Yes ma'am, she is pretty. She's like
her mother. That makes it harder to part
from her. Since her mother was takeD
I've tried to raise her myself. But l had
to go to work every day and leave her with
neighbor She didn't get the care she
needed, and L couldn't pay for better, so
I'm taking her to my sister, but ! don't
know how can stand it without her. It's
q lonely thing for a man when he's done
his work to know there's nothing to go
home to.
And then he buried his head on the
babys, and it was long time before he
looked up again.-New York Tribune.

EVOLUTION OF NIAGARA.
The Estimates to the Age of the World
Famous Cataract.

The Estimates to the Age of the World
Famous Cataract.
Professor j. w. Spencer says the first
conjecture as to the age of Niagara falls
was made by Andrew Ellicott in 1890.
Ellicott believed the falls to be 55, 900
years old. About 1941 Lyle estimated
the age of the falls as S5, 900 years. All
of these early estimates were purely con-
lecture, but they were correct in assum-
ing that the gorge had been excavated
by the river Professor Spencer, in out
lining the progress of the falls, says
that little stream draining the Erie
basin once fell about 200 feet above the
brow of the Niagara escarpment. This
stream was not over one-fourth the vol
ume of the recent cataract and conse-
quently excavated the gorge at a much
slower rate than at present
During the early history of the river
the waters of the three upper lakes
emptied through the Huron basin by
way of the Ottawa river The height of
the falls has increased several times.
The first episode, represented by small
river falling 200 feet, lasted about H.,
900 years. Then the height of the falls
was increased to 400 feet and took the
drainage of the upper great lakes. At the
same time there was series of cas-
cades, three in all, the lower gaining on
the upper until finally they were all
united in one great cataract much high
er than that of today
Subsequently the waters were raised
at the head of Lake Ontario, and the
falls approximated to the present condi-
tions after lapse Of 1900 years from
the end of the first episode. The age Of
the present falls is put at 1000 years,
and another 1000 years was probably
occupied by transitional changes of a
very gradual character. 1t is now s, 900
years since Lake Huron emptied into
Lake Erie for the first time. The land
has risen about the outlet of Lake Erie,
and if the present rate of change oontin-
ues in 5, 600 or 6, 900 years the waters Of
the four upper lakes will be turned into
the Mississippi river drainage at Chi
cago. .-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Do Trees Require Sleep?

In the larger cities, where shade trees
are few and scattering, electric lights
seem to have no visible effect upon their
foliage. In the towns and villages,
however, many of which have their elec-
trio light systems, the effect is very no.
ticeable, the leaves appearing as though
they had been subjected to the blight
ing breath Of harmattan. The question
was recently discussed at a meeting of
the eastern aboriculturists, the conciu-
sion being that trees need darkness in
order that they may sleep, and that be-
ing continually kept awake and active
they have been worn out and made
prematurely old by the action of the
light. That this is probably the correct
solution of the mystery of the dropping
leaves may be judged from the fact that
similar trees in the neighborhood of
those affected, though not exposed to
the illumination, still retain their color
and seem bright and strong st. Louis
