STORY OF THE GREAT LAKES,
A Fruitful Source of Material for
the Writers of History
and Fiction.

There a much Of thrilling interest,
much OF romance, much Of daring sur
rounding the shores OF these lakes,
much in study Of the carly periods OF
their history, for the historian or the
novelist. A long time ago-so long IT
seems like ancient history to us-the
f3rst white man, probably about the
middle Of the sixteenth century, saw
these lakes. II Is not SO easy to fix a
date for this event, but we know that as
early ns 1880 TO 1910 the French priests,
the voyagers and the coureurs de bols,
the trnppers and ndventurers OF. the day,
visited the eastern lake region on the
north. They came with two messages:
one bore tidings Of the commerce, and
proved that the French nation was alive
10 the value Of the new country; the
other told the story Of the Christian re-
ligion. II were well, perhaps, to men
ton another message more or less
baleiul one-brought by the adventur-
crs; for there were adventures among
these early discovcrers--men who had
no other motive than to seek the strange
md the exciting, and to spend their
days In the nlluring and profitless occu-
patton OF seeing how many hairbreadth
escapes they could enjoy, In how many
scenes Of pillage and robbery they could
take part.
Those who have written so gracefully
and elegantly Of the early history Of the
regions surrounding the northern por'
tions Of the great lakes have but begun
10 tell the tales which win be told with
more and more freedom Of invention ~
the writer's Of the future come to ap-
preciate more and more what splendid

THERE is a strong likelihood that
etheric telegraphy will be made cheap
and useful ere long II the invention
of Harry Price, London youth of IS,
is successful. Scientists predict success
for it. As is already known Marconi's
system is impracticable without pole
100 to 1000 feet high, according to the
distance required to be covered ut each
end. Young Price has invented an ap-
paratus which requires only an 1s-inch
pole at each end, and has been eminent
ly successful with experiments over
three and four miles.
