Lighthouses and Dog Kennels,

Doghouse is the name applied to a
ouse made for dog to live in out of
oors; dog kennel to house or box
uilt for dogs quarters indoors. The
oghouse is likely to be for big dog;
be kennel, in private houses, for lit
be dog. There are few Lighthouses used
% the city, and in proportion to the
humber Of pet dogs not great many
Kennels, but still the number of kennels
IN the aggregate is considerable.
Doghouses are made with sloping
Foof to shed rain. No such necessity ex-
SITS in the case Of the kennel, and ken
bels are always made with fiat top.
Things may be placed on top of them.
The kennel is practically an oblong box
made of yellow or white pine or of
[whitewood, and customarily painted
white and without ornamentation. The
kennel has a grated opening in the top
for purposes of ventilation, with cover
% put over to prevent draft. Former
ny the doors of such kennels were made
|pf wire cloth; now they are all made
with bars of a very small sized gas pip.

Lowering Of the Great Lakes.

W. s. HARDWOOD writes of "The Great
Lakes" in st. Nicholas. Mr.. Harwood
says:
Biologists point out the fact that this
chain of LES has not always been as
it now is; that there was time when
all the lakes were blended into one,
having probably the Mississippi river
for Its outlet to the gulf on tho south.
One geologist says:
Every day sees something taken from
the rocky barrier of Niagara, and geo.
logically speaking at no very remote
time our great lakes will have shared
the fate Of those which once existed in
the great far west. Already they have
been reduced to less than one-half their
former area, and the water level has
been depressed 800 feet or more. The
process is pretty sure to 60 on until they
are completely emptied The cities that
stand upon their banks will ere that
time have grown colossal in size, then
gray with age, then fall into deca-
dence and their sites be long forgot

accommodating III tIleso ldho UdsluS Will

sites and old river mouths these sedi-
ments will be full of relics that will H.
lustrate and explain the mingled come
dy and tragedy of life:
In certain sense these lakes form
one mighty river, draining a region of
over 525, 900 square miles and finding
an outlet for their overlooking water
through the swift st. Mary's river at
the east end of Superior; through HUI

Erie and Niagara and Ontario and the
ST. Lawrence, Oh to the vast ocean be-

1t is interesting to note that the bot

the lakes, is about 400 feet below the
surface of the sea at New York harbor.

A few years ago the forum of Traian
was used as depositing place for cats
which were not wanted, but as 1T does
not present the same facilities Of retreat
and hiding as the forum Of Augustus
street boys and others took every OPP
portunity Of stoning the unfortunate
animals, FINALLY the authorities, after
many complaints, refused to allow any
more cats to be thrown there, and in or
der to get rid Of those already living in
the forum presented enc to each sentry
box on the walls of the city. They all,
however, speedily disappeared from
their new homes, some returning TO the
foot Of Trajans column, where they
were either killed by the street boys or
transferred to the forum of Augustus,
while others, it was whispered, were
sold by the sentries for a few centlmes
to enterprising young medical students
in search Of SUBJECTS for dissection. -

he persisted in stirring up such an un-

ut was close here" said the opium
planter "that they caught tiger cred
tied with having done to death 200 na-
tives. Only last week while out for
walk l saw tiger leisurely pass across
the road. Are you likely to be attacked?
Well, I don know. You may and may
not, but I rather think bicycle would

OF course we said 1t would be rather
nice to see tiger, that it would pro-
vide an appreciated adventurous FLIP.
But, as matter of fact, we regretted
having talked determinedly about the
absolute necessity of getting away with
the moonrise. We tried to shake our
hosts convictions that it was at night
tigers were on the prowl. But ho would
not accommodate us.
Maybe, we conjectured, the animals
keep close to the roadway, watching for
victims. So as our Rovers went spin
ming along In the mellow moonlight
eyes were strained ahead for any prowl-
ing object. Once there was a quick
steadying down of pace. There was
some beast running along in the shade.
1t wasn't big enough for a camel, it
was too big for a dog, so it must be a
tiger. Never word was said. Each
pretended not to notice anything. Still
there was all affinity of funk. "Now, l
wonder what brute that is?" one of us
at last asked in pretended don't care
voice. ooh, nothing particular-hyena
or something" was the reply. All the
while the animal was behaving i'll a
distinctly mysterious way. We could
see its dark form in the gloom. 1t was
travelling ahead at a leisurely Face, oc-
casionally rustling tho branches. We
settled down to dead crawl in its
wake. Suddenly the brute strayed upon
patch Of moonlight. 1t was poor lit
tie insignificant donkey. Travel.
