THE LITE HISTORY OF 4 LAKE.
Professor Gresory,s Interesting Lecture

The storm of last evening was too
 much for many of the people who usu-
 ally attend the Sheffield hali lectures.
 Those who did go were well repaid The
 professor was at his best The subject seemed strange to many, but all We're
 more than pleased at the conclusion of the lecture. A lake has a life history as distinct and easily traceable as any life may be. The difference between it and ordinary life is that the life of q lake is strongest in its infancy and de- creases steadily through youth, middle and old age. Rivers are the worst enc mics of lakes and where one flows into and out of a lake is sure to be its un- doing, and this the professor fully proved, Illustrations wrere given step by step The effect of the glacial period on the lake system of Namenca was discussed and pictured. The great lakes and Niagara river with it's self imposed task of draining Lake Erie were cleverly shown, but the lecturer said all the great lakes would go out of existence through the Chicago river and Niagara cheated of it's prey.
 Lake Saltonstall in our own water supply system was spoken of as a most remarkable lake, being nearly two hun dred feet deep and almost at tide water level beautiful lake. He showed, too, how the Great Dismal Swamp, once a great lake. was becoming by the &C., tion of natural laws dry ground, and in a few years comparatively the great lake Drummond at one time then will have died a natural death. In Switzerland where orig inally there were one hundred and forty-nine lakes seventy three had per ished by natures laws, and ia time

ORDERED
To Restore the Child to Its
Mother.

Keokuk, Ia, Aug. 2S.-Justice of the
Peace w. H. Van vleet, has decided
the law passed last winter by the To-
wa Legislature at the request of au-
vanced sociologists unconstitutional,
and ordered a baby which was taken
from its mother under the law restored
to her by the charitable society that
took it. Despite his decision the So
ciety refused to give up the child, and
the secretary is in jail, while his
friends are seeking his release through
habeas corpus proceedings.
The case is the first one brought un-
der the new Iowa law, regarding
friendless children, which gives any
properly incorporated society the right
of neglect, abuse or immortality. 1t was
brought by E. r. Polk, secretary Of
the Associated Charities, for the pos.
session of Frank Keller, the 11-months
old child of Mrs. Vina Keller. The
child was taken from Mrs. Keller by
two prominent society and club wo-
men of this city, and the mother says
it was taken without her permission
and during her absence.
The child was found by two women
prominent in charity work. 1t was
wasted and emaciated from a severe
form of indigestion. They aver that
it was amid filthy surroundings and
not properly cared for.
The case excited interest all over the
state and among sociologists. The law
is entirely new in American jurispru.
dence relating to the family.
