stands. Professor Gilbert Is disposed ia
take this view:
The northern and eastern shores OF all
the lakes are rising, or else the southern
and western shores are failing. Pos
sibly both phenomena are occurring. In
Lakes Erie and Ontario the general
level Is slowly rising, and this is most
noticeable in Port Dalhousie and Haln-
ilton, where it amounts to- six inches
a century. At Toledo and Sandusky
the average rise is eight or nine inches
century, All over Lake Huron the
water is falling, most conspicuously at
the north and northeast At Mackinac
the rate is six inches. and at the mouth
Of the French Rtver ten inches CEN
tury. At Duluth the water Is rising
six inches, at Milwaukee five or six
inches and at Chicago nine or ten
Inches. Inasmuch as Duluth is built
upon steep hdllsides. she can creep up
out of the water whenever she is re-
Qutred to do SO. But. as Chicago is
built on low ground, 1t is difficult to
forecast her fate. The marine; insur-
ance companies would hardly like to
take amy risks on her.
The ground that divides the drainage
system of the Illinois River (and conse-
Quently the Mississippi) from Lake
Michigan is cut by the former stream
to a depth that leaves difference be-
tween the channel and the lake of only
eight feet II no new barrier were
erected, and If Lake Michigan rose at
perfectly uniform rate at Chicago, it
would be about 1000 years before the
lake would flow over the existing nat
ural dam into the Mississippi. But, ow-
ing to differences in rainfall, similar in
eQuaMties in evaporation, the direction
of wind and other causes, the lake is
much higher at one time than another.
Professor Gilbert says:
PROFESSOR GILBERTS PREDIC-
TIONS.
Evidently the first water to over
flow will be that of some high stage of
the lake, and the discharge may at first
be intermittent. Such high water dis
charge will occur in 500 or 600 years.
After 1,500 years there will
be no interruption. In about 1000 years
the Illinois and Niagara Rivers will
carry equal portions of the surplus wa
ter of the Great Lakes. In $500 years
the discharge of the Niagara will be- in
termittent, falling at low stages of the
lake (Erie), and in $500 years there
will be no Niagara. The basin Of Lake
Erie will be tributary to Lake Huron,
the current being reversed in the De-
troit and ST. Clair channels.
THE most numerous economic bear
ings of this geographic change pertain
to engineering works. especially for the
preservation of harbors and regulation
of water levels. But the notifications
thus produced are SO slow. as compared
with the growing demands of commerce
for depth of water. that they have
small Importance. 1t is a matter OF
greater moment that cities and towns
built on lowlands about Lakes Ontario,
Erie, Michigan and Superior will SOON
er or latter feel the encroachment Of the
advancing water. 1t is peculiarly un-
fortunate that Chicago the largest
city on the lakes. stands ON a sinking
plain that is now but little above the
high water level of Lake Michigan

PEACE CONGRESS.
The Situation as Regards the Ar
bitration Question.

xAe SITUATION as ktcSaf0S the AT.
bitration Question.
THE HAGUE June 17-It is i'm
portant that the present situation re-
garding the Board of Arbitration ques-
ton be clearly understood The work
Of the peace conference has been sus-
pended on this point, and probably will
not be resumed for some days. On
semi -of11cial authority it is said the
situation is practically this:
The German Government was op
posed on principle to an organized ar
bitration court, and it is found that
these views existed long prior to the
conference, and that instructions to
that effect were given to the German
delegates. The convention obtained in
Berlin that other Powers, notably
France, would instruct their delegates
similarly. As the conference proceeded
the spirit of conciliation advanced, and
the desire to accomplish important per-
manemt results was manifested. With
this grew up schemes for an organized
Arbitration Board, notably the British
proposals, to- which nearly all the men,
bers rallied with the authoritative sup
port Of their respective Governments
This at once left the German delegates
in peculiar condition, for which they
were not prepared.
The difficulty was not at The Hague,
but at Berlin. In order to relieve the
situation, Count Won Munster, head Of
the German delegation. after a long
conference with his colleagues at
Schereningen, decided to dispate DR..
Zorn and Baron Won Stengel to inform
the Emperor personally Of the condf-
ton of affairs.
In the meantime, efforts had been
made to find means of conciliation by
the means of a. limited board estab-
lisfed at The Hague under the or
dinary representatives of the Powers,
which was proposed by Andrew D.
White, head of the, American delega-
tion This plan DIR. Zorn and Baron Won
Stengel have been commissioned to
plead for to Emperor William. The
question of the moment, therefore, is
what his majesty will reply.
The most important fact Is that the
German delegation from Berlin were
accompanied by Frederick Hollis, Sec
retary Of the American delegation, who
was able to explain fully the .Amerf-
can plan. Il sff.lie
