How the Lakes Die.
From the Springfield Republican.


Professor Geogory, Of Yale, recently
gave particularly interesting lecture on
s'The Life History of a Lake. Professor
Geogory, in the course Of his talk, spoke
of the way Lakes are filled on one side and
drained on the other by rivers, and called
attention to the rapidity with which these
lakes are filled up by the bringing down of
sediment of various Sorts Rivers running
into lakes are quite dark, but those lead
ing away are clear, showing that much
has been left behind. The Mississippi
carries yearly to the Gulf over l3, 600, 600
tons of matter. 1t would take but day s
portion of this burden to convert any one
of the many ordinary lakes into broad
meadow lands.
Some idea of the rapidity with which
lakes die under this process is shown
in the fact that 70 out of the 149 lakes
in the Swiss region have disappeared since
1873. Lakes die by either being filled up
or drained off. The draining off results
when river has worn 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 engineer. 1t is cutting back toward
Lake Erie at the rate foyer feet year,
and in time would kill the lake. Unfor-
tunately, however, the lake is destined
to be drained through Chicago. Lake
Tahoe, beautiful lake in the Sierra Nevada
Mountains, is also one of these destined
in time to be killed as result of the drain
ing 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 peat bog
The speaker called attention the Dismal
Swamp in Florida, which was once vast
lake, but is now great area of bog and
swamp, with only little lake in one part.
So rank is the growth of this peat in that
hot land that the surface of the lake is A
feet higher than the level of the surround
ing boys, showing that it has been literally
forced up into the air.
Lakes, swamps, boys and then garden
lands represent the stage in the process of
dying. Filling, draining and encroach
ment of vegetation represent 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
Geogory closed his lecture with an inter
esting account of the way the lakes have
disappeared in the regions in the western
part of the United States, where only desert
land is now found.

In Black and White.
From the Atlanta Journal.

One of Atlanta most prominent bank
ers has young son who has already de-
veloped surprising faculty for business.
His father gave him IS, and instead Of
spending it he handed it back to his father
to deposit for him in order that he might
draw the interest.
A few days later, however, the youngster
saw something he wanted more than he
did the interest, so asked his father to
please return the money.
This the banker refused to do, explain
ING that the son had no note for the
money and unless he could prove in black
and white that the money had been handed
him the S. was his.
The youthful fnancier looked both
puzzled and unhappy, then his countenance
cleared. He called the colored butler.
John, did you see me give father SIS
the other day 2
He was answered in the affirmative
Then he put the same question to his
grandmother
When she, too, said yes, young Ma
chiavelli turned to his father triumphantly:
'sThere, father, l have it in black and
white.
Needless to add, he got the money.

Orange Blossoms and Brides.

The tradition of the orange blossoms
so inseparably linked with the plighting
of happy young hearts is a subject worthy
of the fair ones interest. Like many
another custom associated with the marriage
ceremony, it has come to us through five
centuries According to the lore accom-
panying the custom, the Saracens, those
fierce infdels of the East, in one of their
first incursions into Europe, about the
tenth century, brought it with them as one
of their time honored customs. Doubtless
it had been an accompaniment of their
marriage ceremonies for centuries before.
The beauty of the practice is said to
have strangely appealed to the Crusaders,
or Christian people of Europe, who might,
under the circumstances and the spirit of
the age, have been expected to be 10th to
copy anything, however small, from their
infdet enemies. However, woman sense
of the beautiful seems to have even at
that early date showed its predominant
influence over the ways of man, for it was
taken up by them, and of course eventually
found its way to this country. Whether
the blossoms still form an attending fea-
ture at the nuptial ties in the old country
is not exactly apparent, but from the ex
ample of Germany it would seem that it
has in measure been supplanted in the
affections of at least one great nation.
With the Teutons the myrtle, as a flower,
has until recently held its pre-eminence
over the customs of centuries. In many
of the provinces it is the favorite, SYM
bolizing, as it does, unalterable devotion
and constancy. However, to the Southern
bride the orange blossom always has, and,
perhaps, will continue to carry with it such
a wealth of tender associations and strict
propriety as to supplant for years to come
any rivaling flower as the floral symbol of
of happily united hearts.

stopped Advertising and Died.

Asked about the outlook for the Amer
lean Bicycle company, which went into the
hands of a receiver some time ago, Colonel
A. A. Pope said recently that operations
at the Columbia branch in Hartford will
be resumed in short time. Colonel Pope
added: The cessation of advertising killed
the bicycle business, and the way to revive
it is to resume that same important mat
ter. You can see how | feel in the mat
ter when | tell you that | spent 5000, 600
in one year in that sort of publicity and
that it is my idea for the future to adver-
tise.
