The Lecturers Blundcr.

One of the institutions of New York
that are praised by all the public with
out reserve is the course Of free lee
lures in the public schools. These Ice
lures are given before splendid audi
ences and, as rule, by persons of
vcracity and intelligence. Occasion
ally, however, in order to get a lecture
on rare subject great risks are run.
Recently a lecture was given by a
person who had been on an excursion
to the North cape. Among other Won
derful things he saw there was the
eclipse of the sun. He gasped for
breath as he told of the wcirdly grand
sight. He told of the streamcrs of fire
that blaZed from the obscured orb to
all quarters of the heavens. But his
frenzy carried him too far for public
school audience, for lie declared that
among the stars made visible in the
midst of day he saw the planets cir
cling in their courses. He even called
the planets that he saw by name. but
he made a fatal mistake. He said he
saw Neptune.
This statement called for round OF
sarcastic applause that he mistook for
commentator, for he smiled in hap
Dy way as it echoed through the halls.
Evidently he did not know that Nep-
tune is invisible except with the most
powerful tclescope.-New York Mail

A Good Speaker.

tainly captured his audience last
night and held them prisoners for
nearly one hour and half. His sub
iect was, "SiX months with Uncle
Sam" which is a favorite one just al
present with all Americans.
Mr.. Browne is thoroughly acqualn-
ted with his subject. He is fluent
speaker, has a strong voice we'll modu-
lated, and his delivery is that OF an
artist. When talking he used the
language so duently that he carried
his audience along with him, espec'
ia,lv when he was on the firing line in
the battle of El Caney, and his ex-
n]anation of his engagement at San
Juan Hill and the balance OF the San
tiago campaign.
Mr. Brownies description OF the
sufferings of the soldiers was pathetic
in the extreme, with sudden change
to the comical side when he explains
his reason for speaking so often OF
Gen. Shafter.
Mr. Browne is now considering a
rood offer to lecture through the

DEPTHS OF THE LAKES.
What Would Happen If Their Sur-
faces Were Suddenly lowered
to the Sea Level.

If the chain of great lakes which
bound the northern limits Of a portion
of the United States could be brought
to the level of the sea two of the chains
would be practically wiped off the facc
of the earth. Lake Michigan would be
come two lakes much smaller than the
present majestic body of water which
lies off Chicago. Chicagoans could
travel on what is now the bottom Of
the lake as far north as IA point mid
way between the shores of Milwaukee
and Grand Haven without getting
their feet wet.
No system of lakes presents as wide
variations of extreme depth as the big
fresh water system. Beginning with
Superior and following the chain east
ward, they vary from 1856 feet to but
2l0. They are respectively Coz feet
above the sea level for Superior, 1S1
each for Michigan and Huron. 513 for
Erie and but 247 for Ontario. Su
perior is far the deepest, with Michigan
second. Ontario is close on its heels,
being within few feet of Huron, while
Erie is so shallow that its greatest
depth is 36 feet less than the mdlake
depth of Michigan between Chicago
and st. Joseph. Erie can claim but 2lQ
feet extreme depth.
As good an object lesson of what the
lakes have to offer is the course be-
tween Chicago and st. Joseph. Mich.
The coast is measured from the lights
of the two harbors. Beginning from
this side the government pier, already
quite way out, has depth of some
SO feet. The lake shoals on this side so
that the extreme depth of the spoon
is a trihe beyond the middle Of the 81
mile course. Itdrops rapidly, however,
from 16 in the river to 24G cut in the
Jake. But on the other side. within
couple of miles of the shore. the depth
drops from "a feet to 166 with frightful
rapidty. BY the time the second song

The Henry CIay's Pilot Dead.

Louisville, June 15.--John Thomas
Taylor, aged II years, one of the oldest
river pilots in the country. is dead here
of heart disease. During the war Taylor
was at the wheel of the gunboat Henry
Clay. which took part in the siege of
Nicksburg. The Henry Clay was the
last gunboat to pass before the city, and
the ConfederatcS concentrated their fire
upon it and literally blew it out of the
water. Taylor stood at his post until the
boat was totally wrecked, and then
plunged into the river and tloated down
the Mississippi on Il cotton bale.
