H. Hackley is known at home and abroad. His
muniicence to Muskegon alone represents an out
lay OF nearly half million. For the past twenty
years he has been constant sufferer from neural

limbs, SO much that 1t has seriously interfercd
with his pleasure in life. For some time past his
friends have noticed that he has seemed to grow
young again and to have recovered the health
which he had in youth.

The crowd increased until Pennsylvania

was excited beyond the point of speech
The object of it's absorbing interest was a

the level with the top of the building
From this spire, reaching to the street
were heavy ropes made fast to an object
for which the crowd struggled to get a
glimpse. The man on the building signaled
and the people held their breath in eager
expectancy. There was creaking of roDes
and a clashing of cog wheels as the ma
chine, rusty from little use, was put into
operation, and then slowly the precious
burden left the ground and began its
ascent. Two minutes passed: it was half
way up. The brave fellows struggled man
fully. and the people waited. Up it went

lake shows great variety of charges re-
suiting principally from the waves, some

The Closed Season.
Speaking Of the closed season on the
lake, the lecturer said it was a curious
tact that navigation opened earlier and
closed later on the northwestern shore and
that the longest season of navigation was
at Port Arthur, at the extreme north of
the lake. He said that the humidity of the
air was SO slight that forest fires were
common in that vicinity in midsummer
Storms are severe on the lake. but not fire.

dangers to navigation. Snow falls near the
center of the lake every month during the
year, even In midsummer. The tempera-
ture IS low III winter and moderate in sum-
Mer. As low as 10 degrees below zero has
been registered in winter on the north
side. The climate is essentially northern,
a.. Is shown by the temperature of the land
and by the vegetation. The soil is scanty,
but very rich. Most of the large animals
have been driven away, but deer bear and
caribou are still found on the north shore
Fish are very abundant, and of an unusu-
ally fine quality. The commerce of the
lake is increasing rapidly, but the number
OF ships Is falling off, due altogether to the
general use of larger craft Passenger
traffic through ST. Mary's river reached its
maximum in 1884. and its falling off since
Is attributed to the completion of a net
