HOW THE LAKES DIE.
Interesting Life History of Inland
Water Bodies.
Springfield Republican.


Professor Gregory, Of Yale recently gave
a particularly interesting lecture on The
Life History of a Lake Professor Greg
DRY, in the course of the talk, spoke Of the
way lakes axe filled on one side and drained
on the other by rivers, and called attention
10 the rapidly with which these lakes are
filled by the bringing down of sediment of
various sorts. Rivers running into lakes
are quite dark, but those leading away are
clear. showing that much has been left be-
hind The Missouri carries yearly to the
gulf over 1900, 900 tons of matter. II would
take but a days portion of this burden to
convert any one of the many ordinary lakes
into broad meadow lands.
Some idea of the rapldty with which
lakes die under this process is shown in the
fact that seventy-three out Of the 149 lakes
I'm the Swiss region have disappeared since
1873. lakes die by either being filled up or
drained off. The draining of results when
a river has worn a gorge back so deep that
the water all runs out. The Niagara river
is doing its best in this draining by cutting
as fine trench as could be made by an en-
gineer. 1t is cutting back toward Lake
Erie at the rate of over four feet year,
and in time would kill the lake. Unfortu-
nately, however, the lake is destined to be
drained through Chicago Lake Tahoe, a
beautiful lake in the Sierra Nevada noun
tains, is also one OF those destined in time
TO be killed as result Of the draining
process.
Peat is one Of the greatest filters and
works more rapidly than any other form Of
deposits. 1t is estimated that one-tenth Of
Ireland Is peat. and over one-fOurth of the
state of Indiana was once a peat bog. The
speaker called attention to the Dismal
swamp of Florida. which was once a vast
lake. but is now a great area of boys 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 bOgS, showing that it he's been
literally forced up into the air
Lakes, swamps, boys and then garden
lands represent the stages in the process of
dying. Filling, draining and encroachment
Of vegetation represents the process that
kills the lakes in warmer chimes, while the
forces of the air are agencies in the cooler
portions of the country. Professor Gregory
closed his lecture with an interesting ac-
count of the way the lakes have disap-
peared in the regions in the Western part
OF the United States, where only desert
land is now found.

WILLIAM CARTER KILLED
Sad Accident at Washburn in Which
William Carter Meets With
Fatal Injuries.
Caught and Crushed Between the Pro-
Peller Shaft of the Steamer
Washburn Sunday.
Lingers During the Day and Dies at
Six 'clock.-Other Local
News Matters.

William Carter, formerly a resident
of this city, was fatally injured at
WashDurn Sunday morning, and died
at 6 O'Clock the same evening. News
of the accident was received in the city
Sunday, and special train was sent
tc Washburn in the afternoon to bring
the injured man to the hospital in this
city for medical aid The train did not
arrive, however, until half an hour
after Mr.. Carter's death.
Mr.. Carter was mate OF the steamer
Washburn, which was to leave Sun
day for Mannhaven. The boat had
left the harbor and swung out into the
stream, when the fudder fouled, and
Mr.. Carter was sent back to see what
was wrong. He found log entangled
with the rudder, and crawled under the
propeller shaft to remove it. While in
this position. the current caught and
moved the wheel, and the propeller
shaft came down, crushing Carter be-
tween the shaft and a heavy timber
which ran back to the wheel. He was
crushed about the waist, so severely
that there was a hemorrhage of blood
from the nose and mouth, consequent
upon severe internal injuries. He was
extricated from his position and taken
back to Washburn. He remained con-
scious and apparently did not suffer
much during the day. In the afternoon
he fell asleep, and sank from that into
| death.
The deceased young man was we'll
known in this city, having formerly
worked here in partnership with ".
H. JAEGER. He removed to Waslburn
several years ago, and has pFospered
there. He was known on the boat as
an efficient young man and was popu-
lar with all classes. His death was
learned with general regret, both in
Washburn and this city. He leaves a
wife and a young son. The funeral
will be held at Washburn.
