DEEPENING LAKE ERIE
Ppooest 20 Dam Niagara RiveP a
Meet the DimiautAon Of
Water.

The commerce Of the great lakes Is 30
yast that the lake waterway has be-
come almost as important rs the path
across the Atlantic, In the lake navi-
cation season Of 1899, more than $780,
300 bushels of. grain, nearly 7oon,o0o
barrels of -four, 100000 tons of iron
and 1000 ,O0O, 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 oil the
lakes, and the fac, is apparent that it's
level is lower than it was formerly.
The possibility Of its falling sti.l more,
IS a result of the diversion Of some OF
the water of Lake Michigan through
the great drainage canal from Chicago
to the basin of the Mississippi, leads to
an apprehension that sooner or later
the effect win be harmful.
Now a project has been devised, and
a bill introduced in congress to carry II
into effect, &c meet the elimination of
the water Of Lake Erie by constructing
dam in the Niagara flE or near Buffalo,
and raising the level OF Lake Erie by
about three i.st. Such dam would
deepen the water of the Detroit and ST.
Clair rivers, aid would render more Sc
cure and easy the navigation of this
great waterway along which SO impor-
tant a part of the food supply Of the
natiops Is borne.
. But to raise The level OF Lake Erie
means to food lands along its shores.
1t means to food certain Canadian
lands. as well as Americans; and this
would necessitate International ar
rangement and costly compensation.
For this reason, as we'll MS for the rea-
son that great pubic enterprises al
ways move slowly, the conversion of
Lake Erie into vast mill-pond will
probably be deferred for long period.

SHIP UNKNEAR PORT HURON
Steel Steamer Yuma Cuts in Two
the Barge John Martin.
FOUR PERSONS ARE DROWNED.
Capt. James Lawless of Iorain, Ohio
Among the Dead-A Survivors, Graphic
Story of tho Eescue-Capt. Law.ess
stood as Speli5ound

Port Huron, Mich, Sept. 2t-Tha
steel steamer Yuma at O'Clock p. m.
crashed into the barge John Martin,
in tow of the steamer Maurice p. Grov-
er, and the Martin sunk in thirty sec
onds, carrying down three men ad a
woman. The collision occurred in the
rapids just below the Fontana wreck,
and the channel was completely
blocked, stopping navigation. The
drowned: Capt. James Lawless, Lo-
rain, O.; Mrs. Bacon, cook, of Cleve-
land, o.; William Ross, mate, Toledo;
sailor, name unknown. The Grover
and Martin were bound down loaded
with iron ore and the Yuma was bound
up. Just as the Martin had cleared
the Fontana wreck the Yuma, which
had evidently slowed up, took a sud-
den sheer and struck the Martin
about midships. The steel plow of
the Yuma cut half way through the
Martin. Gabriel Peterson of Cleve-
land and George Kyle of Toledo were
at the wheel when the Yuma struck
the Martin. The crash was heard for
long distance and Kendall's small
boat made for the wreck and picked
Up Kyle and Peterson. The two sur
yivors were landed at the Butler street
dock and taken to the Putnam house
in a half-drowned condition. They
were revived and Kyle then told the
following story:
Il saw boat sheer toward us on the
starboard side. l knew that we were
to be struck, and shouted to Peterson.
We both ran along part of the rail and
climbed up the mizzen mast. We
shouted to the other men. Capt. James
Lawless of Lorain stood as though
spellbound. That was the last we
saw of them. The Martin gave a
plunge and went down, bow first. The
mizzen mast to which Peterson and
l were clinging went over and fell on
top of me in the water We both got
tangled up in the rigging and sunk.
When we came up we were carried I'M
de again. We both grappled pieces
of wreckage and kept afioat. The
cook, Mrs. Bacon, who, think, lived
in Cleveland, was in the cabin and
could not escape drowning
The Yuma picked up Walter Mendel
and Rudolph Lee, other members Of
the Martins crew.
The barge Martin was owned by
Capt. M. A. Bradley of Cleveland.

In the aquarium of the Calcutta ZOO
logical society is monster crab, re-
Gently captured in the Indian ocean,
that is attracting the attention of the
scientists. The huge crustacean was
caught a mile from shore. Its body is
nearly two feet in diameter and it's
claws are more than a yard long. 1t
has enormous eyes that protrude in
such way as to give it very fero-
cious appearance. The habits Of the
creature justify it's looks, for on being
placed in large vessel filled with sea
water and which contained fifty crus-
taceans and other fishes it devoured
the living contents in about two
hours. The most remarkable thing
about the giant crab, however, is that
at night it emits phosphorescent
sparks of milky whiteness which make
bright the entire vessel.

FOR HOMESEEKERS.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railway will sell regular Homeseekers'
Excursion tickets to all points in South
Dakota, at one fare plus 81 for the
round trip, on September Is and Oc-
tober 2, 1900. This will enable parties
to visit the Corn Belt Exposition to be
held in Mitchell. S. D., September rs
to October 4, 1900, inclusive. This ex-
position is held to demonstrate the
great agricultural resources, wealth
and possibilities Of this thriving state.
The exposition is held in gorgeously
decorated corn palace which for beauty
can hardly be excelled anywhere by a
building OF temporary nature. There
are thousands of acres Of cheap lands
left in South Dakota that will, under
the present conditions in that state,
rapidly increase in price, and the hold
ing of this corn palace with its many
attractions. that both amuse and in
struct, should be an opportunity that
all land and investment seekers
should embrace.
For further information apply to any
ticket agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee

WOMEN IN GERMANY.
They Have Many Opportunities of Adj
yaDcement In the Professions

They Have Many Opportunities of Adj
vancement In the Professions.
The regulations of the German gov
eminent as to woman's place in the
learned professions are exceedingly
liberal. For some time past they have
not been technically barred from the
aight of being doctors, dentists, etc,
but the chances of training were so
limited that only very few women
could avail themselves Of the privi-
leges thus afforded. The establish
ment of "gymnasia" for girls in many
Of the larger German cities, notably
Berlin, Leipsic, Hanover, ,Konigsberg,
Stuttgart and others has given to
girls the preparation which they re-
CURED in order to enter upon the uni
versity training which is needed to
qualify for any learned profession.
The universities admit women if not
as full students, at least to the LEG
lures. The position of dentist requires
two years university training only, as
against five years for medicine, which:
easily explains the preponderance OF
fully qualified dentists over doctors.
In the whole of Germany there are, it
is said, only nine female doctors, six
of whom practice in Berlin, one in
Frankfort, one in Leipsic and one in
Munich.

TO pARKEN WINDOWS.
a Simple Device by Which This May
BE Accomplished.

Here is a discovery: A thin, black
india silk handkerchief tied over the
eyes is the best remedy for the annoy
ance of the early morning glare ia
which in their bedrooms most persons
are now subjected. This is an army
trick, commonly practiced on the
plains and in camp by those desiring
to sleep after dawn, but never before
divulged to the effete easterner. Some
officers scorn this expedient, others like
it, and the army woman resorts to it
always. 1t often happens, however,
that she does not possess black silk
handkerchief. in which case she pins
black stocking over her eyes instead.
And frequently her husband is not
above begging the other stocking.
This solves the problem of shutting out
the light in most simple and effectual
way. But the army woman says there
is no reason why every woman living
in proximity to shops should not have
a black India silk handkerchief
Blinds and awnings, in addition to
window shades, are all very we'll to
uoi hCu q Ioou IL tHcy are Ou Il uOuSoI
but frequently they are not, more par.
ticularly in the country, where they
are most needed. Then. even in the
event of having these Iuxuries in hot
weather many persons object to using
them because of the amount of air
these things shut out from a room.
Every one knows in the migration from
town to country how annoying the
early morning light is to the city-bred,
particularly the women who do not
have to rise at the first crow Of the
cock in order to catch a train to bust
ness. Those people who are summer
ing in hotels and clearinghouse COM
monty occupy rooms with whitewashed
or very light papered walls, and this
reflects the strong light, which by 4
o'clock these summer mornings begins
to turn the sleeper into wakeful
restless creature, who. If he or she
have blinds, gets up and closes them,
but is forced for lack of air to at least
leave the shutters open. whereby too
much light enters. And frequently
there is so little air that to bar out
any Of it, even by drawn blinds with
open shutters, is out of the question.

Sweet Singer of Dublin.

An interesting. and almost histori-
cal, figure passed away in Dublin on
July IL. Mrs. Edward Jeal was one
of the most gifted of very accom-
plished band of amateur singers, which
made Dublin music famous in the 40's
and SOS. She was the niece of the
celebrated Lady Morgan, the reputed
original of Becky Sharp. Her voice
was almost unique, for she cultivated
it into tenor, which, although small
in quantity, was singularly sympa-
tnetic in quality. Her vocalization Of
Italian music. more especially that of
Rossini, was exceptionally finished.
For years she was conspicuous in Dub
lin circles for her brilliant wit and
artistic temperament. She was al
most, If not quite. centenarian.

DEWEY ON H0BSON'S CLAIMS.

Three Ships Least Injured and Under
Repairs Before Hobson Saw Thsna.
New York, Sept. 22-Admiral Dewey
denies that he claimed any undue cred
1t for the victory at Manila bay. He
says he hardly thinks Lieut.. Hobson
meant anything unkind in his state
ment that the Spaniards sunk the ships
themselves.
The admiral says the three ships
referred to by Lieut.. Hobson, the Isla
de Cuba. Isla de LuZon and Don Juan
de Austria, were found to be least
injured Of all the ten ships that were
sunk. These. he said. were the ones
which Naval Constructor Caps decid-
ed, after an inspection by divers, were
worth saving.
They were raised and temporary re-
pairs made. They proceeded under
their own steam to Hongkong, the adj
miral said, where they remained for
some time undergoing repairs before
Lieut.. Hobson ever saw them.
