Depths of the Great Lakes.

If the chain of great lakes which bound
the northern limits of portion of the
United States could be brought to the
level OF the sea two Of the chains would
be practically wiped off the face of the
earth. Lake Michigan would become
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 point midway 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 1886 feet to but
210. They are respectively COZ feet
above the sea level for Superior, 5S1 each
for Michigan and Huron 573 for Erie
and but 247 tor Ontario. Superior is far
the deepest, with Michigan second. On
tarlo is close on its heels, being within
few feet OF Huron, while Erie is so shall
low that its greatest depth is thirty.six
feet less than the midlake depth OF Michi-
gan between Chicago and st. Joseph.
Erie can claim but 210 feet extreme
depth
AS good an object lesson of what the
lakes have to offer is the course between
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 thirty.six
feet. The lake shoals on this side so that
the extreme depth of the spoon is a triAe
beyond the middle of the ffty.seven mile
course. 1t drops rapidly, however, from
sixteen in the river to 246 out in thelake.
But, on the other side, within a couple of
miles of the shore, the depth drops from
twenty-four feet to 166 with frightfu
rapidity. BY the time the second song is
sung leaving st. Joseph the singer is over
some forty fathoms of water.
Superior, if reduced to the sea level
would be robbed of two. thirds of its di.
mansions. The extreme depth is well
east of the middle line. Michigan has
her greatest depth, 1,00Ofee up, toward
the straits. Huron is less than 800.
while Erie is very shallow. Ontario has
a depth OF 735 feet. owing to the Falls of
Niagara. If all were brought to sea level,

The New Depot.

After about two months of repairs on
the st. Johnsbury depot the building was
opened to the public on Monday night
and since then many have beer pleased
to note the improvements on the struc-
ture. The changes were fully outlined in
the paper some months ago and the
interior arrangement has been greatly
improved. The main room is handsome
ly sheathed and lighted by electricity
and there is now homelike appearance
about the depot which has never been
there before. The express office has been
moved to the building just below the
| depot and the room vacated by the
express company will be used by the
baggage department, which will be twice
as large as before. When the repairs on
the baggage room are completed all
trunks will be received and discharged
from large door on the west side of the
depot, an improvement that will be
Sreatly appreciated by the travelling
public.
When the repairs on the building are
completed extensive changes will be
made On the tracks. The entire system
will be changed and more side tracks
laid to take care of the increasing freight
business at st. Johnsbury. The two
passenger tracks next to the depot will
be raised and in place of the platform
around the depot there will be concre tie.
A covered platform will also be built
between the two tracks and as much
money expended on the track facilities at
this place as has been spent on the
repairs at the depot,

evening. Methods of fish culture were
illustrated and interesting habits of
beaver, deer and other wild animals
were shown. The steriopticon was
managed by A. H. Densmore who has
done some very clever work in photo.
graphy both OF fish and game. The lee
ture is especially interesting and vaIua.

CHARLES W. FAIRRANKa

Republican leaders in Indiana say
there is a growing sentiment for him
elsewhere and that, unless something
unexpected happens, the prominent men
of number of states will rally to his
support when the time comes for him
to make an announcement, 1t is gen.
orally understood that the course of
Senator Fairbanks has been pleasing
to the president, Senator Hanna and
others, they say, and the leaders in this
state feel that it will not be difficult TO
Impress the crowds at Philadelphia that
Senator Fairbanks is the right man for
the party to nominate for president next
time. 1t is probable that Senator Fair
banks will be made chairman Of the In
diana delegation at Philadelphia. There
will probably be 1000 Indianans at the
convention.

Feathers on Hats.

The plumage of the sparrow, crow
hawk. gull, crow backbird, common
blackbird, crane, raven and kingisher,
may be worn.
The plumage of the quail, partridge,
pheasant, wild duck, pigeon, meadow
lark, grouse, woodcock, oriole, robin,
bluebird and woodpecker, may not be
worn.
Without any parade, without even so
much as a friendly warning, Governor
Roosevelt signed the Hollock bill at
Albany the other day, says the New
York Journal.
The new law makes it misdemeanor
to sell or possess for sale the plumage OF
wild birds and songsters. 1t strikes a
nearly fatal blow at the present head.
gear of the fashionable woman and
spreads dismay among the mlliners. 1t
is debatable if the new law does not even
prevent women from appearing on the
streets ornamented by the feathers of
protected birds without Drawing arrest,
The enactment OF the bill into law is
a great victory for the Audubon society.
the members of which have worked long
and earnestly to secure it's passage. Ac-
cording to reports, the lobbying tor the
bill has been greatly in excess of the effort
made in opposing it, for the miliners and
merchants who handle feather goods
seemingly rested in the belief that this
attempt to protect the game birds and
songsters would prove as futile as other
similar endeavors that had preceded it.
But the measure, fathered by Assem-
blyman Hallock of Suffolk county, is
now law, and a serious condition con-
fronts society and society's hat makers.
Under the law no wild birds other than
those for which there is an open season
can be taken or possessed at any time,
dead or alive, and no part of their plu-
mage, skin or body can be sold or kept
for sale.
An up town milliner in New York said
recently in discussing the Halock law
"A gamekeeper could enter the premises
of milIiner and impose fine on the
dealer of $50 for each part of wild bird
found, no matter how procured. If
carried out literally, this law will be very
hurttul to us and our customers"
The Audubon society, which works in
conjunction with the Museum OF Natural
History, will probably celebrate the
passage of the bill in some appropriate
manner, and resolutions thanking Gov
ernor Roosevelt and the author of the
law will be passed.

COUNTY POLITICS.

The Political Pot is Boiling over
the County COBventiOn.-Dr. Stiles
Withdraws from the FieId.-Date of
ST. JOhnsbuFy Caucus.
Sheffield is the first town in the county
to be heard from and at the caucus last
Saturday the republicans elected three
delegates who illsupport Alex. Dunnett
at the coming county convention. Most
of the other towns in the county will
hold their caucus next Saturday after
noon or evening and by Monday morn
ing it will generally be known how the
drift of the county is running. The date
of the st. Johnsbury caucus has been
fixed for next Monday evening. 1t will
be held at the Armory at 100 and it is
safe to predict that it will be the largest
attended caucus in the history of St.
Johnsbury politics.
As announced in last weeks paper the
friends of Gen. Grout will present a list
Of delegates who will support Alex. Dun
nett for county senator and the friends
of Judge Ross will have delegates who
will support county senator favorable
to their side 1t is generally understood
that they will support Rev. DR.. Edward
T. Fairbanks, one of St. Johnsbury's
leading citizens and man eminently
fitted for public life.
The following letter has been received
from DR.. T. r. Stiles
To Caledonia county voters:
Having decided to withdraw from the
contest as candidate for county senator
| take this method OF announcing my de-
csion and Of thanking, at the same time,
the voters for their kind expression of
their support. My health will not per-
nit me to take the active part in the
which the situation demands and |
have therefore decided to withdraw.

CANDIDATE FOR VICE PRESIDENCY.
Fairbanks OF Indiana Already In the Field For
the Nomination In 1904

Indianapolis, May 22.-Indiana Repub-
hcan leaders and delegates to the ma
lonal convention will go to Philadelphia
with the intention of starting a boom
Tor Senator Fairbanks for president in
a9O4. They have talked the ma tier over
among themselves and have concluded
that the time is ripe to begin. Since
Congressman Lands, in a speech before
the state convention, announced that
indiana would propose the name of
senator Fairbanks for president in 1904,
1t is been regarded as almost a certainty
that Senator Fairbanks will be a candi-
date for the nomination.
