urged her husband to get revolver
and keep it under his pillow. Just TO

by her own son, and Przybysz took her
in charge. He and his mother-in-law

The report of the United States lake
survey engineers OF the mean depth
of the great lakes for the month Of
October shows that Lake Superior has
gone down in one year almost half a
foot; Lakes Michigan and Huron
about a little over one-tenth of a foot,
and the two latter lakes have gained
but a very small fraction over the
depth of 1895. when the water was
very low over these lakes. Lake Erie
has also gone down almost half n foot
In a year, but has gained over half a
foot from the low stage Of 1895
The figures show that the lake levels
arc slowly but surely falling. The
Chicago drainage canal Is said to be
partly responsible for the conditions Of
the lake levels, and an investigation
OF this may be made.
