DEEPENING LAKE ERIE.
PYoeoSt to Dam Niagara River to Meet the Diminution of
 Water.

The commerce of the great lakes is so vast that the lake waterway has be- come almost as important as the path across the Atlantic. In the lake navi- gation season of 1899, more than S,0O0,- 900 bushels of grain, nearly 100000 barrels of flour, 13,0O0, 900 tons of iron and 1000, 900 feet of lumber passed through the Sault Sainte Marie canal, bound toward the east and Europe.
 Practically all this traffic, and an additional amount from Lakes Mich igan and Huron, pass through Lake Erie. Erie is the shallowest of all the lakes, and the fact is apparent that its level is lower than it was formerly. The possibility of it's falling still more, as a result of the diversion of some of the water of Lake Michigan through to the basin of the Mississippi, leads to an apprehension that sooner or later the effect will be harmful.
 Now project has been devised, and bill introduced in congress to carry it into effect, to meet the diminution of the water of Lake Erie by constructing a dam in the Niagara river near Buffalo, and raising the level of Lake Erie by about three feet. Such dam would deepen the water of the Detroit and St. Clair rivers, and would render more se- cure and easy the navigation of this great waterway along which so impor- tant part of the food supply of the nations is borne.
 But to raise the level of Lake Erie means to flood lands along its shores. It means to flood certain Canadian lands, as we'll as Americans; and this would necessitate international ar- rangement and costly compensation. For this reason, as we'll as for the req son that great public enterprises al- ways move slowly, the conversion of Lake Erie into vast mill-pond will probably be deferred for a long period.

New Cures for Lunaey.

"The cures which we have to resort to are in many cases" said the head physi- clan of one of the largest Scottish 1una- tic asylums, 'as curious as our patients whims. One patient had for six years been under the delusion that his head was turned the wrong way physically. We put him iD a chair, tied him secure ly, and then, having blindfolded him, gave him an electric shock. He got up crying with delight, and after that mo- ment he was as sane as you or I. An other declared be was top-heaVy. We weighted his feet with two three-stone weights and left him for day. Wheth- CT the extra weight effected the cure or not don't know, but he to-day holds a very responsible position under the government, and is one of the clearest- headed men know. Another thought that if he went to sleep the world would stop moving. We dosed him with chloroform. When he woke 12 hours later and found everything all right he wept with joy, then turned over and went to sleep again, waking six hours later sane."'N. Y. Journal.

Some disgrnntled, disappointed irrigator writing to Ph@nix says that Apache county has only l030 sheep given in for assessment. Whether he means last year or this year, he is equally mistaken.

This county can point with pride to her stock industry even to the :ax as- sess0F.
