New York, Oct 30.-Many technical
points have been raised through the
battles of the Yerkes and Morgan syn

matters in this city, says a London
dispatch to The Tribune The two
American syndicates by attempts to
outmaneuver each other have excited
a feeling Of distrust against foreign
Intervention and investment in Metro

now three electric tubes in operation
IN the metropolis, and three are under
construction but little progress has
been made during the last two years
toward a solution Of the problem Of

Interesting Changes in a North Dakota Lake

i
One Of the interesting problems which
has come under the notice of the hydrog-
raphers of the United States Geological
| Survey is the gradual drying up of Devils
| Lake in North Dakota. Devils Lake or
Lake Minnewauka. as it is called by the
Indians, is the largest body of water in
the State. 1t belongs to the numerous
class of lakes formed by the great glacial
ice sheet on its final retreat toward the
north. Then and for some time after,
when it was fed by the heavy rains fol
lowing the glacial period. it had an outlet
to the south into the Cheyenne River, and
well-marked and empty channel still re-
mains between the lake and the river
Long before settlers first came to the re-
giOn in 1880 the lake had sunk below the
level Of this channel and has since been
without an outlet. Regular observations
for the last 10 years show steady and
almost uninterrupted sinking of the water
Groves of trees, which once stood at the
beach, are now separated from it by broad
strips of sand. and the shallow parts of
the lake notably the long arms and bays,
have been left quite dry
Another important and interesting fea-
ture is the change in the water from fresh
to SALT this has taken place within the
memory of man, and is i'll some particu-
lars producing unfayorable results. Fish
were found in the lake in great abundance
up to about 1888. Since then they have
grown rapidly less, until now, practically
none are caught.
The United States Geological Survey
has recently established bench mark near
the lake. and. under the charge of Prof.
c. Nj. Hall. of the State Agricultural Col
lege. will make careful records of the
fluctuations of the waters and general
study of their decline. The investigation
may throw some light upon the climatic
conditions of the past,

One of the latest developments in the
Memorial University movement was the
passage OF the Naval Reserve Militia Bill
by the Iowa Legislature. This act per-
mits the University to obtain Iowa's share
of the Naval Reserve appropriation, and
insures the successful establishment of
this department Of the institution
The Naval Reserve Station will be es-
tablished at Clear Lake some 10 miles
distant from the University, but connected
by inter-urban trolley line.
The land required will be donated by
the citizens of the village of Clear Lake,
and the Naval Reserve will be one of the
most attractive features Of the institution.
A division of 30 members is now ready
for muster, and have reported to the Ad-
jutant General for that purpose.
