At the Ohio State university a test
was made during the fall of last year.
the result Of which was as follows: An
ordinary wagon, with new three-inch
tire, was loaded with 4,4S0 pounds, the
dynamometer being used to measure
the draft. On hard dirt road the draft
was 254 pounds; on grass field 1t was
46S pounds; on newly plowed land 1t
was I'll pounds. The draft power of a
horse of 1000 pounds is $50 pounds, and
therefore two horses could draw the
load easily on grass sod. With mar
row tire, half as much is full load for
a two-horse team, showing a marked
advantage for the wide tires. in addi-
ton to which they become rollers, and
smooth and level the road, and so make
II better the more it is used, instead of
cutting 1t into ruts, as is well known
the narrow tires do on soft roads.

immigration is, without doubt, on the
increase, though the total for the call
endar year will be smaller than it has
been in the years when the current of
the population movement hitherward
was at its height. For the month of
September the number of immigrants
was over 11,600 in excess OF that for
September, 1894, while for the nine
months the total was nearly $1,000 in
excess Of that for the corresponding
period of last year. II the proportion
Of increase which has so far obtained
should continue during the year, the
augmentation for the twelve months
would be somewhere in the neighbor-
hood Of 1900. The increase in the
volume Of immigration would seem to
be a reflection of the improvement of
material conditions in the United States
which has been going ON for a year or
more.

A good deal of mystery pertains to
the water level Of the great lakes be-
twesl the United States and Canada.
They constitute altogether an enormous
fresh water ocean embracing 77,450
square miles. This Is an immense res
eryoir, and 1t does not seem likely that
the withdrawal Of 10000 cubic feet per
minute by the proposed Chicago drain
age canal would materially affect 1t.
In rain of six inches which recently
fell over these lakes. the amount Of
water added to them was 1,079 SAC, 176,-
900 cubic feet. 1t would take seven
years for the Chicago canal to with
draw this amount of water. There are.
however, periodical rises and falls in
all the lakes which have never been ac-
counted for. An old boatman on the st.
Lawrence river says that these rises
and falls OF the river occur In periods
OF seven years, the water steadily rising
seven years, and then falling as stead
lily for the same length Of time. At pres
ent the st. Lawrence is at its lowest
ebb. Next year 1t will begin to rise, and
by 1902 1t will be as high as 1t ever is
