GREAT LAKE MENACE,
fro BE cONrINUED.Y

Harvard Professor Says Chicago Must Raise Level or Be Submerged.
 Professor William R. Davis of the geological department of Harvard uni versity has been studying the geology of the great lake region, especially about Niagara falls, says Cambridge dispatch to the Chicago Record Herald. He has reached the conclusion that if the present tendencies continue in time most of Chicago will be submerged un- less, he adds as proviso. the people of Chicago continue rapidly enough to raise the city above the Lake Michigan level.
 Professor Davis began the other day with a description of the gorge hewed out by the Niagara cataract and then gave an account of the early character of the great lakes region, of the success sive advances and retreats of the lau- rentide ice sheets and of the gradual evolution of the great lakes in their present form and with their present system of drainage. Originally the lakes drained into the Mississippi through what is now the Illinois river, but with the gradual physiographic changes the northern outlet became lower than that at Chicago, and the water flowed out first through one channel and then through another, finally finding it's way over the retreat ing escapement between Erie and On tario, through which it has cut the Niagara gorge.
 Estimating that the cataract has talk en about 10000 years to cut back to its present location, although this estimate is uncertain owing to the varying vol ume of the river, with certain changes in the drainage system, he said the con- clusion might be reached that within a relatively short time the falls will make their way to Lake Erie, when that body of water will be drained out. and the falls will disappear. About this process, however, there are serious doubts. Observations within the last sixty years have shown that the coun- try north of the great lakes is slowly rising.
 Before Niagara has cut back to Lake Erie this rise may have progressed so far that the St. Lawrence outlet will again become higher than that at Chi cago. Then the immense volume of wa ter now pouring over Niagara will be turned back upon Chicago, and, the speaker added St. Louis may then get ascendency of the Illinois metropolis.

stream, DrIstllng and rorm1dable, the tons of logs, grinding savagely to- gether, swept forward.
 The six men and Bryan MoIoney, who, it will be remembered, were on top, worked until the last moment. When the logs began to cave under them so rapidly that even the expert river men found difficulty in staying on top'' the foreman set the example of hunting safety.
 "She pulls boysv' he yelled.
 Then in a manner wonderful to be- hold, through the smother of foam and spray, through the crash and yell of timbers, through the leap of destruc- t1on, the drivers zigzagged calmly and surely to the shore
 All but Jimmy Powers He poised tense and eager on the crumbling face of the jam. Almost immediately he saw what he wanted and without pause sprang boldly and confidently ten feet straight downward, to alight with accuracy on single log floating free in the current. And then in the very glory and chaos of the jam itself he was swept down stream.
 After moment the constant accel- eration in speed checked, then com menced perceptibly to slacken. At once the rest of the crew began to ride down stream. Each struck the caIks of his river boots strongly into log and on such unstable vehicles foated miles with the current From time to time, as Bryan Moloney indicated, one of them went ashore. There, usually at bend of the stream where the likelihood of tanning was great, they took their stands. When necessary they ran out over the face of the river to separate a congestion likely to cause trouble. The rest of the time they smoked their pipes.
 All night long the logs slipped down the moonlit current, silently, swiftly, yet without haste. From the whole length of the river rang the hollow boom, boom, boom, of timbers striking one against the other.
 The drive was on.

His actions, his mind, his very soul, vehemently denied the proposition. He clung as ever to his high Puritanic idea Of mans purpose. But down deep in a very tiny, sacred corner of his heart very small voice sometimes made itself heard when other more militant voices were still: "It may be. It may be-"
 The last month of hauling was also one of snow. Each day a little fell By and by the accumulation amounted to much. In the woods where the wind could not get at it it lay deep and soft above the tops of bushes On either side of the logging roads the snow piled so high as to form kind of rampant. When all this water in suspense should begin to flow and to seek it's level in the water courses of the district the logs would have plenty to float them at least,
 So late did the cold weather last that, even wit the added blowing to do, the six camps beat all records. On the banks at Camp One were 9,OOO,OOO feet. The totals of all five amounted to 33,OO0,000. About 10,oOO,OOo of this was on French creek, the remainder on the main bank of the Ossawina- makee. Besides this, the firm up river, Sadler x Smith, had put up some 12,- 000,O00 more, The drive promised to be quite an affair.
 About the 18th of April attention be- came strained. Every day the mount ing sun made heavy attacks on the snow; every night the temperature dropped below the freezing point. The river began to show more air holes, oc- casional open places. About the cen ter the ice looked worn and soggy. Some one saw a flock of geese high in the air. Then came rain.
 One morning. early Long Jim Pine came into the mems camp bearing a huge chunk of tallow. This he held against the hot stove until it's surface had softened, when he began to swab liberal quantities of grease on his spiked river shoes, which he fished out from under his bunk.
 She's comip', boys,'' he said.
 He donned a pair of woolen trousers that had been &honped off at the knee,

 The season was capricious, hanging for days at a time at the brink of thaw, only to stiffen again into severe weather. This was try ing on the nerves, for at each of these false alarms the six camps fell into feverish haste to get the job finished Before the breakup. It was really quite extraordinary how much was accom- Dlished under the nagging spur of weather conditions and the cruel rowel- ing of Thorpe
 The latter had now no thought be- yond his work, and that was the thought of a madman. He had been stern and unyielding enough before, goodness knows, but now he was terri ble. Not for an instant was there resting spell. The veriest chore boy talked, thought, dreamed, of nothing but saw logs. Men whispered vaguely of a record cut. The difficulties of mow. accident, topography, were swept aside like straws. Little time was wasted and no opportunities. It did not matter how smoothly affairs happened to be running for the mo- ment; every advantage, even the small est, was eagerly seized to advance the work. A drop of five degrees during the frequent warm spells brought out the sprinklers even in the dead of night At night the men fell into their hunks like sand bags, and their last conscious thought, if indeed they had any at ail, was of eagerness for the morrow It was madness, but it was the madness these men loved.
 For now to his old religion Thorpe had added a fanaticism, and over the fanaticism was gradually creeping film of doubt. To the conscientious energy which sense of duty supplied was added the tremendous kinetic force of a love turned into other chan nels And in the wild nights while the other men slept Thorpe's half crazed brain was revolving over and over again the words of the sentence he had heard from Hilda's lips, There can be sothiug better than love"

Pennsylvania Teachers Find Primi-
 tive Mode of Travel Too Slow.
 The old way of travelling by stage, which still exists in the western part of Monroe county, Pa, is becoming too slow for some of the pretty school teachers of that section,' says Strouds- burg dispatch. The ''schoolmarms'' are firm believers in exercise and a ten mile tramp over the roads is but "constitutional' to them on nice, crisp day.
 Recently two young women teachers, Miss Mary Shafer and Miss Ella Mills, the latter an instructor in the Brod- headsville primary school, were in Stroudsburg shopping. They started home on the stagecoach, but at Sciota decided to walk to their homes, as the day was cold and riding slow. Brod- headsville and Sciota are six miles apart.
 The stage halted, and the two alight- ed. Setting off at brisk pace, they soon left the wagon in the rear. They made up their minds to beat the outfit into Brodheadsvil1e, doubled their 'ef- forts and reached the village several minutes ahead of the coach.

Most people nowadays hear a lot about the conservation of waste, but looking through the catalogue of traders of various kinds it is astound- ing what number of eccentric com. modfties are utilized for trade pur- poses. The skins of millions of cells are tanned and used as leather for bootlaces; frogskin has become one of the most beautiful and useful articles known to the binders of fancy books and the makers of fans; waIrus wEis- kers provide the most elegant tooth picks known to the modern man of fashion; and beetles of a certain kind are exported by the hundredweight for use on theatrical dresses.
