LAKE LEVEL is SAFE.

The Drainage ChanaeI wan Change 1t but
Very Little.
CHICAGO June 11.-Thomas II. Johns
ton, assistant chief engineer of the drain
age board and in charge Of the hydraulic
work OF the channel, has completed the
report of the board, to be forwarded to
the secretary of war; in relation to the
probable lowering of the Lowell of Lake
Michigan by the construction of the sani-
tary district channel. While the report
is extremely technical in the main, Mr..
Johnston, in his final conclusions, makes
it plain that the danger of the lakes level
being seriously changed or even ma
terially affected by the drainage channel
Is Buffalo bugaboo. demonstable by the
elaborate calculations which he has made.
Mr.. Johnston is an engineer of high
standing and note, an authority on n.y.
draulics, and his investigation of tho
question has been thorough.
He finds that when Lake Michigan's
level is at its highest normal point ana
the drainage channel is taking from the
lake its maximum capacity of 800, 600
cubic feet of water per minute or TO- 0J q
second, the reduction of the level will be
between five and six inches. AT its ave-
rage level year in and year out the reduc.
ton Of the level will not exceed three and
one-half inches. When the lake level is
at a low point and the channel is taking
but 100000 cubic feet minute-the min
imum capacity-the reduction will be but
a fraction over one inch. In either case
the change will not be sufficient either to
affect navigation in any of the lake ports
or to disturb the volume of water pass.

Dreadful
Malaria.

There are numerous diseases having
their origin in the blood, but which on
the surface do not appear to be blood
disease. Such is Malaria, which is a
poison breathed into the lungs, and thus
taken into the blood and circulated, inn
buing the entire system with its morbid
effects. Those who have suffered from
this dreaded disease know what a life
less condition ensues and how the vitality
is wasted away so that death is often
caused by some simple malady, because
of the low ebb to which life is reduced
by this poverty of blood. This condi-
ton of the blood often gives rise to
boils, carbuncles, Assesses and ulcers,
and not infrequently causes catarrh,
bronchitis, and even consumption.
