HOW LAKES BECOME LAND.
Process of Drying Requires Years,
But is Ever in Progress.

Process of Drying Requires Years,
But is Ever in Progress.
This continent abounds in rich agri-
cultural fields and meadow lands that
but a few years ago were broad ex-
panses of limpid water. How these
lakes have been transformed was re-
Gently explained by Professor Greg
DRY, of Yale.
In the course of a talk to the stu
dents of his class he spoke of the way
lakes are filled on one side and drain
ed on the other by rivers, and called
attention to the rapidity with which
these lakes are filled up by the bring
ing down of sediment of various sorts.
Rivers running into lakes are quite
da-k, but those leading away are clear
showing that much has been left be-
hind.
The Mississippi carries yearly to
the gulf over $4,000, 900 tons of matter.
It would take about a days portion Of
the. burden to convert any n of the
many ordinary lakes into broad mead
ow lands.
Some idea of the rapidity with
which lakes die under this process is
shown in the fact that seventy-three
out of 149 lakes in the Swiss region
have disappeared since 1873. Lakes
die by either being filed up or drain
ed off. The draining off results when
a river has worn a gorge back so deep
that the water all runs out.
The Niagara river is doing it's best
in this draining by cutting as fine a
trench as could be made by an
engineer. It is cutting back toward
Lake Erie at the rate of over four feet
a year, and in time will kill the lake.
Unfortunately, however, the lake is
destined to be drained through Chi
cage Lake Tahoe, a beautiful lake
in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, is al
SO one of those destined in time to be
killed as a result of the draining pro-
cess.
Peat is one of the greatest filters
and works more rapidly than any
other form of deposits. It is estimat-
ed that one-tenth of Ireland is peat
and over one-tenth of the State of In
diana was III a peat bog.
The speaker called attention to the
Dismal Swamp in Florida, which was
once a vast lake, but is now a great
area Of bogs and swamp, with only a
little lake in one part. So rank is
the growth of this peat in that hot
land that the surface of the lake is.
fourteen feet higher than the level of
the surrounding boys, showing that it
has been literally forced up into the
air.
Lakes, swamps, bogs and then gar
den lands represent the stages in the
process of dying. Filling, draining
and en~croachment of vegetation repre-
sent the process that kills the lakes
in warmer climes, while the forces of
the air are agencies in the cooler por-
tons of the country.
Prof. Gregory closed his lecture
with an interesting account of the
way the lakes have disappeared in the
regions of the western part of the Uni
ted States where only desert land is
now found.-Chicago Chronicle.

One reason for the growth Of the
English language is the coming of the
masses into English speaking lands.
Populatiye increase is greatest in those
regions where the protection of English
law and the advantage Of American
democracy have hidden migration. The
results are most remarkable here in
The United States. Recently this was
an Anglo-Saxon nation, comments the
Brooklyn Eagle. The thrush of Slavs,
Scandinavians, Teutons, Celts, Greeks,
Syrlans, and Italians is burying the
original owners OF the land. This has
somewhat affected our laws, vet ar
fected them for the better. in that it
has made them liberal. 1t has affected
customs, yet only to make them more
varied and picturesque. But 1t has not
affected speech. Despairing attempts
are made, from time to time, to make
the teaching, say, Of German, compul-
sorry in our schools, but they always
Gail. The schools are English. like our

Fire Signals,

at . meeting OF Hope Hook and
Ladder Go. No. i, held on July 8,
1901. the town was divided into Fire
Districts and a Code of Signals was
adopted In order to facilitate the loca-
ton of fires in the future. The town
was divided as follows:
District No. ALL that portion Of
Aewn bounded north by Bellevue
street, west by Union street, south
and east by corporation line.
District No. 2-All that portion OF
town bounded by Bellevue street Oh
the south: Union street on the west,
and corporation line on the north and
east.
District No. 3-Theportion Of town
lying west of Union street, and south
of Bellevue street, with the corpora
ton line as the south and west boun-
Diary.
District No. 4-Tle portion of town
bounded on the south by Bellevue,
east by Union, north and west by COY
poration line.
The Signals adopted were short taps
to indicate the district in which the
fire is located, followed by a rapid
alarm, same to be repeated until gon-
erai alarm is given.
To illustrate, should an alarm be
sonnded FOR District No. 5, first three
taps, one, two, thee, followed by rap
i'd alarm, and repeat.

HOW MOUND BUILDERS LIVED.
Interesting Discoveries by an Ohio
ArchaoIogist.

TiStt0StSSlSSs
DR.. G. W. Mills, curator of the State
Historical and Archaeological Society,
has just completed the exploration OF
a large and important village site of
the Mound Builders near Bonneville,
and has made a number of discoveries
which throw light upon the life and
customs of that ancient people.
These discoveries have tended to
show that the mound builders did not
live together in one indiscriminate
tribal group, as had been commonly
supposed, but that they lived separate
ly in family groups, each with it's own
dwelling and private graveyard.
The other thing which is no longer
to be doubted is that the mound build
ers had a more or less perfectly or
gained system of trade which cover
ed almost the entire continent. In
recent excavations ornaments have
been discovered fashioned from ocean
shells, mica and copper, all foreign
to Ohio.
The village site which DR.. Mills has
just explored has proved to be one of
the richest ever opened by archaeolo-
gists. The skeletons, pottery, orna-
ments and implements found formed
the basis of the archaeological exhib-
it at the Buffalo exhibition.
This year, in completing the work,
DR.. Mills found thirty skeletons packed
in a space of thirty-five square feet.
Others, evidently those of chieftians,
were buried separately, and many of
them besides the usual ornaments had
at the head a bowl Of beautiful pot
terry.
There were one or more spoons of
tortoise shells in each bowl and the
bowls had evidently been filled with
food at the time of the burial. In
n of them a handful Of parched
corn was found.

WHEN THE BIRDS GO NORTH

And grass springs green ON the

And the alder's veins turn crimson
And the birds go north again.
Oh, every heart hath it's sorrow,

THE GAME OF NATIONS.

not be glad to be able to identify every
national flag on sight? This pretty
recess or home game will help you to
acquire this knowledge.
Like.most of the instructive games it
requires some preparation. In all the
large dictionaries and in many ency-
clopedias and gazeteers may be found
all the flags OF the nations, printed in
colors, and they are usually printed
on page all together. Let some one
who has a box of water colors paint
the flags on 6 sheet of white card
board, putting number under each
flag, instead of the name of its coun-
try. Then as many sheets of paper
should be prepared as there are per-
sons to take part in the game, with
numbers down the left-hand margin of
each sheet.
When you are ready to play the
game, give a sheet of paper to each
player, tack the cardboard up in plain
view, and allow, say half an hours
time for the players to write opposite
to the numbers the names of the ma
tons that belong there. No. l, for
example, will be the United States;
No. 2, Great Britain; No. 8, France;
No. 4, Russia; No. 5, Italy; and so on.
When the time limit has expired let
the leader of the game collect the pa
pers and check them off by a key which
he or she has for that purpose, and the
PLAYER that has the most correct num-
bers wins the game. If the game is
played at home prize may be otfere
say a small U. S. flag made of silk.
1t is not necessary that the flags
should be drawn on the cardboard in
a really artistic way, though the more
neatly it be done the better.-Louis-
Vile COurier-J ournal.

fects supervening, and cases arc
quoted in support of this fact. Indeed.
such cases have frequently puzzled
Psychologists, seeing that the disturb
ance of the intellect has in no sense
been commensurate with the injury
to the brain. On the notion Of the
greater Importance of our left brain,
and on the theory that severe injuries
which do not produce utter mental
breakdown really involve the right
lobe, the puzzling constitution of the
brain may be explained in part at
least. But the last word has not yet
been said concerning the brains ways
and work. Injuries of the left half do
not always produce serious effects as
regards the mental life, while we have
had some Psychologists insisting that
we have really two brains, and that
while the left lobe is the Jekyll of the
intellect the right, on occasion at
least, is apt to play the part of Hyde.
A fascinating theory this, but one to
which sober science is not likely to ap-
pend its mprimatur.-London Chron-

Carried Away by q Tiger.

The men who are surveying rail-
road through the North Cedar Hills, in
India, often find it well to fight shy
of man-eating tigers. A few weeks
ago, Mr.. Lodder, the assistant engi-
neer, was going with party of nine
men to work in thick jungle, when
tiger suddenly sprang forward, seized
a man by the throat and made of.
Mr.. Lodder, armed only with a
hatchet, at once gave chase, hoping
to overtake the tiger before it should
kill its victim. Three Of the men fol-
lowed their leader. They ran along
the trail, which was marked by spots
and splashes of blood and by bits Of
clothing. They heard the tiger crash
ing drought the jungle ahead, and
soon coming up with it they ran it so
close that after a dash of mile and
a half it dropped it's victim. The poor
man was not merely dead, but his body
was so badly torn that there was
trouble in gathering the parts of flesh.
