Low Water in the Great Lakes Because
No Water il Taken From Them.

No W IttI i lUhfn f'Af Nv
OTTOWA. July M.-Professor Virgins,
ID an interview yesterday, on the causes
OF the drought and low water In the
lakes and rivers says:
lone cause Is that the rivers that drain
them are constantly wearing the earih
away and gaining a deeper bed. But the
chief cause is the constant decrease in
rainfall on the Southern half OF the
continent. Ia times of drought. such as
We have now in Ontario. vast iakes and
flowing rivers. though exposed for months
10 a burning sun. convey no moisture 20
the atmosphere and the fields. even 20
the waters edge, are scOrched as II by
fire.
There is no electricity in the air. and
without it humidity will not rise. Twenty
five years ago this great East-moving cur
rent was charged with electricity, from
the time il left the mouth OF the Missis-
sippi until q reached the mouth OF the
St Lawrence. Now the telegraph and
telephone wires that form a network
across us path over the Western states
carry off its electric energy. and not only
Is the vapOr IL contains precipitated on
these regions. but IL H. unable 20 reload
itself with vapor on reaching the Great
Lakes"
The Professor says thdt IN 1881 ne Nl3ll-
cd those parts OF Ontario where the
drought was so disastrous during that
year. and subsequently, reported 10 the
Dominion Government that the telegraph
wires were the cause. and pointed out
that when Western Ontario would become
ruined by drought. the Ottawa Valley
would enjoy copious showers from cleo
trio clouds that would come over the
northern hills and forests beyond the
wire belt. and would flow down on the
northwest current
THE truth Of my words" he added,
may be seen in the fact that this year
the crops In the ottawa Valley are abund-
ant. while the farms OF Western Ontario
are as dry as the ashes Of Nesuvius."
