A FishY Fish Story.

Jake" Stalhaber, a well known
character of South Scranton, whose
numerous episodes from being held up
by thugs to falling off the Cedar ave-
nue. bridge, have won for him fame,
is again the hero of a story-a fish
story.
on Monday morning, according to
his own story, he went fishing at
Mountain lake and caught a pickerel
twenty inches long, weighing two
pounds.
On Tuesday morning he started for
the same place, still according to his
own story, and caught a pickerel
twenty-four inches long, weighing
two pounds and half.
on Wednesday morning. bright and
early, he was again at his favorite
fishing stop and came home with a
pickerel twenty-six inches long and
weighing three pounds, still according
to his own story.
The third catch was too much for
him. BY the ratio at which the length
and the weight of the fish kept in
creasing from day to day. Jake" fig
ured that by Saturday it was odds
whether he'u land the fish or the fish
get him, and he wasn't going to run
the risk, so the fourth day he stayed
at home.

LEVELS OF BIG LAKES
CANNOT BE LOWERED
Prof. Moore Says That the Chicago
Drainage Canal Has No Effect
Upon Lake Michigan.

Chicago, Aug 26.-Wilis Moore, chief
is of the opinion that the opening of
the Chicago drainage canal has had
no effect upon the level of the lakes.
That view was expressed by him after
he had completed the circuit of the
great lakes with the congressional
committee on rivers and harbors. He
has been in Chicago two days, and
was with Professor Cox. OF the Au-
ditOrium tower, much of the time.
Congressman Burton, chairman of
the house committee on rivers and
harbors, made the statement when he
landed In Chicago that the level of
the lakes had fallen from three inches
to a foot and half He did not nee
essarily attribute this shrinkaGe to
the effect of the Chicago drainage
canal. Chief Moore said:
"I am not prepared to state off,
cially what the effect of the Chicago
drainage canal upon the lakes has
been. Nevertheless 1t Is my belief that
the canal has had no effect upon the
level of the lakes above Niagara. II
there is an effect 1t will be found In
a diminishment of the amount OF
water going over Niagara Falls. No
harbor will have to be deepened on
account of the canal. An apparent al
teration of level will be due to other
causes, l am convinced, than the drain
of the canal. will go further and say
that even If the Niagara river were
damned. so that the four lakes had
no outflow, do not believe their level
would he reallV affected
"The lakes, l believe, are self-regu-
lating. The body of water which the
lakes contain could not be supplied by
the great water sheds draining into
them. What great river or system OF
supply drains into the lakes? Think
how contracted their area of watershed
is. No, the lakes are fed through the
geological strata. Water from very
far-off regions comes to the lakes
Water that falls on opposite slopes
percolating through the surface earth
is carried back by the strata and en-
ters the lakes When the pressure /!
removed more water bubbles up from
these strata, and when the pressure
is increased the inflow is proportion
ately checked. Consequently l be-
lieve the water supply of the lake!
is automatic, and that their level Il
not determined either by the increased
or diminished outflow from their sur
| face"
