The Growth of the Beard.
CPhiladelphla Timesl


1.-The beard hardly grows at all when
you are asleep" said the barber.

in the operating chair.
'Oh. by experiment You see, al
ways used to shave myself in the morn
ing. the first thing after getting up:
but 1 hated TO do it. because IT was so
apt to make me late for breakfast. So,
one night, shaved myself at II o'clock,
and went straight 10 bed and to
sleep Do you know, my face was al
most CLEAN when I got up? You would
have sworn, unless you had examineI
me closely, that 1 was fresh from tEe
razor. And ever since then I have
shaved before going to bed. and have
been given credit for shaving I'm the
morning. The growth of the beard,
you see. is practically imperceptible
during the eight or nine hours of your
sleep
But If you should stay awake those
eight or nine hours the growth would
be as fast as usual. One night. after
I had shaved. ] had to stay up with
/ my sick daughter, and I almost needed

I beard grows. in my opinion, three times

HOW THE LAKES DIE.
Interesting Life History of Inland
Water Bodies.
J (springfield RepubIiean.l

tOpTiIiSiiSiN FNSPODilSsu-y
Professor Gregory of Yale recently
gave a particularly interesting lecture
on "The Life History of a Lake
Professor Gregory, in the course of his
talk, spoke of the way lakes are filed
on one side and drained on the other
by rivers, and called attention to the
rapidity with which these lakes are
filled by the bringing down Of sedi-
ment of various sorts Rivers running
into lakes are quite dark. but those
leading away are clear. showing that
much has been left behind, the Mis-
sissippi carries yearly to the gulf over
13. 900. 900 tons of matter. 1t 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 rapidity with which
lakes die under this process is shown
in the fact that seventy-three 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 a gorge back so deep that the wa
ter all runs out The Niagara river is
doing its best in this draining by cut
ting as fine a trench as could be MADE
by an engineer. 1t is cutting back to-
ward Lake Erie at the rate of four feet
a year. and in time would kill the lake.
Lake Tahoe, a beautiful lake in the
Sierra Nevada mountains, is also one
! of those destined in time to be killed
as z result of the draining process
| Peat is one of the greatestsillers and
works more rapidly than any other
! form of deposits. It 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 vast lake
but is now 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 thar

forced up into the air.
Lakes, swamps. boys and then gar
den lands represent the stages in the
process Of dying. Filling. draining and
encroachment of vegetables represents
the process that kills the lakes in
warmer climes, while the forces of the
air are agencies in the cooler portions
OF the country. Professor Gregory
closed his lecture with an interesting
account of the way the lakes have dis
appeared in the regions in the western
part OF the United States, where only
desert land is now found.
