Great is Lake superior.

Lake Superior is the largest an
deepest, not only Of the great lakes, bu
OF all the bodies Of fresh water on tn
earth. Its total coast line IS /, S72 miles
OF which $50 milos are on the American
side and 992 miles on the Canadian side
The total area including BAYS and island
Is 32, 1866 square miles. The islands hav,
an area OF $50 square miles. aud bays al
area OF l,o4l square miles, leaving a tota
area OF open lake water surface OF So,
465 square miles. The boundary lin.
over the lake between the United State.
and the Dominion Of Canada is zoo mile,
long.
The combined area of the great lakes
OF the St. Lawrence is 5,275 miles, and
third Of this is formed by Lake Super.
ior. The largest island In Lake Superior
Is Isle Royal. or the Regal island. The
Indians have always considered this is.
land as an evil spirit, and even now are
loath to visit it, On account of the
large expenditure upon IL with no ade-
quate return, tie island has also proved
somewhat OF "hoo-doo'' to the white
people. Caribou still remain on this
island and have become quite tame. The
island is described as an isolated and
nearly submerged mountain rising from
1000 to 5000 feet from the bottom Of
the lake. 1t is the only island of the
kind In the lakes, and is only paraleled
by Isolated and volcanic islands OF tho
great oceans.
The water Of Lake Superior is usually
lowest in February and highest in
August. The temperature of the water
is so low that human being exposed to
1t does not long survive. Drowned
bodies sink to the bottom and are rarely
recovered. Storms are severe on the
lakes but not frequent, SHOWS and fogs
being tke chief danger 70 navigation.
Saow falls near the center OF the lake
every month during the year. even in
midsummer. The temperature is low
IN winter and moderate in summer. AS
low as T5 degrees below zsro has been
registered in winter on the north side.
The climate is essentially northerA as is
shown by the temperature of the land
and by the vegetation. The soil is
scanty, but very rich. Most of tho large
animals have bean driven away, but deer,
bear and caribou are still found on the
north shore. Fish are very abundant.
and of an unusually fine quality. The
commerce Of the lake is increasing rapid
., but the number Of ships is falling off,
iue altogether to the general use of
arger craft.-Ex.

1 the rainfall amounted TO less than one
! half Of the normal for the month The
normal rainfall for April. as determine d
| by observations extending through a
! long series OF years. is, for the state,
2.+i inches. The average rainfall In
| the state IN April for five years has been
as follows: 1894, 2.2s inches: 1898, 4. 43
! Inches; 1902 2. Is inches;lS9l, 1.95 inches.

timated by correspondents is as follows,

own Brains Out.
Gus Engstrom, aged about 70 years
committed suicide at the homo of hi
daughter, Mrs A. Carlson, at Skanee
Tuesday afternoon. On the day
10 question there were religious
services in the school house, and
Mrs. Carlson asked him II be
did not want to attend. He re-
piled that he did not as he was not
feeling we'll. The family then started
for the school house, leaving the old
gentleman alone. Upon returning they
did not find him at the house, aud
| Mrs. Carlson went to the barn, but
he was not there. The dog acted
strangely, and would run a short
distance from the barn, thoa return
and whine. and at last Mrs Carlson
started In the direction, when to
her horror, several rods distant and
near large stump, found her father on
the ground dead.
1t appears that he had taken
rifle, fastened it In some manner
to the stump, and with cord at
tached to tho trigger, deliberately
sent ball crashing through his
brain. His head was mangled In a
frightful manner.
An inquest was held Wednesday
afternoon, the verdict Of the jury
being that death was caused by his own
hand.
The funeral occurred Thursday after
noon.
Deceased was a widower, his wife
having died several years ago. We us-
derstand that there are two children
residing az Ishpeming.
