DOOM OF NIAGARA FALLS.
Prot. Gilbert Thinks Great Lakes VIII
Turn Outlet South.

Prof. G.. K. Gilbert, of the Geologi-
cal Survey, despite the fact that the
lake levels have been unusually high
this year, adheres to his belief that
sooner or later-probabIy 5000 yeaIs
hence-the Great Lakes will change
their outlet from Niagara to the Missis-
sippi river through the Illinois river.
1.-The slow changes of mean water
level" says Professor Gilbert. "are
concealed from ordinary observation
by the more rapid and impressive
changes due to the variations of vol
ume, hut they are worthy of considera
tion IN the planning of engineering
works of permanent character. and
there is at least one place where their
influence is of moment to large COM
munity. Chicago is built on smooth
plain, little above the high water level
of Lake Michigan. Every decade the
mean level of the water is an inch
higher, and the margin of safety is SO
narrow that inches are valuable. Al
ready the older part of the city has
lifted itself several feet to secure bet
ter drainage, and the time will surely
come when other measures protection
are imperatively demanded.
Looking to the more distant future,
we may estimate the date at which the
geographic revolution prophesied by
spencer will occur. Near Chicago is
an old channel made by the outlet of
a glacial lake. The bed of the channel
at the summit of the pass is about
eight feet above the mean level of Lake
Michigan and five feet above the high
est level. In 500 or 600 years (assum-
ing the estimated rate of tilting) high
stages of the lake will reach the pass,
and the artificial discharge by canal
will be supplemented by an intermit-
tent natural discharge. In 1000 years
the discharge will occur at ordinary
lake stages, and after 1,50O years it
will be continuous. In about 1000
years the discharge from Lake Mich
igan-H Huron Erie, which will then have
substantially the same level. will be
equally divided between the western
outlet at Chicago and the eastern at
Buffalo. In $500 years the Niagara
river will have become an intermittent
stream, and in 5000 years all it's waters
will have been diverted to the Chicago
Outlet-the Illinois river, the Missis-
sippi river and the Gulf of MexicO,'

Commonly, the first symptom of a "cold I"
is chilly feeling, accompanied by sneez-
ing, or tickling in the throat. The most
frequent of external causes are draughts,
wet or cold feet, or going from hot rooms
suddenly into cold ones. More frequently
there is an inner cause-name1y the stagna-
ton of the blood caused by constipation or
biliousness. Almost the first symptom is
the feeling of cold in the feet and increased
discharge from the nose.
No one ever takes cold unless consti-
pated, or exhausted, and having what we
call mal-nutrition, which is attended with
impoverished blood and exhaustion ofnerve
force Tonics consisting of large portions
of alcohol, iron or cod liver oil do not bring
the desired changes in the blood, because
they do not enter the system and are not
absorbed into the blood, with the exception
of the alcohol, which shrivels up the red
blood corpuscles when it does come in
contact with them. We recommend the
botanical extract of DR.. Pierce because it
contains no alcohol, and offers reasonable
and scientific method of treating the blood,
by improving the nutritive functions of the
patient The uGolden Medical Discovery :"
accomplishes this, by first restoring the
erfeebled digestive organs so that food,
the natural tissue builder, will be digested
and assimilated.
Accept no substitute for DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. There is moth
ing rjust as good" for diseases of the
stomach.

PASSING OF THE
CRISP BANK NOTE
Soft Money Made by the Government
Hereafter Is TO be veIvety.

The DAYS of the crisp bank note are
numbered. Instead of being crisp the
money which the government bureau
of engraving and printing will hereaf-
ter turn out will be soft and velvety'
if important experiments which are
now being conducted in the presence
of treasury officers for the purpose OF
demonstrating the advantages OF novel
chemical treatment for paper prove
satisfactory.
The result of the adoption OF the new
secret process will be to revolutlonlze
portion of the work connected with
the printing of paper money OF the
United States.
ANTtsEPTIC AND PRESERvATIvE.
Under the new process it will take
just sixty days less time to manufac
ture bank note than under the pres
ent method. The chemical solution
not only renders the paper soft and
velvety, but it also makes it non shrink
able.
BY applying it to Japanese napkin
that article becomes as soft and plta-
BILE as tissue of silk. The chemical
preparation acts as an antiseptic and
preservative. When applied to old
documents it seems to knit the fiber to-
gether and prevent further decay.
Under the present process OF print
ing paper money the paper has to be
thoroughly soaked in water. While it
is in this soaked condition one side OF
the paper is'printed. The sheet is then
placed in steam room aud kept under
a high temperature for thirty days. the
time necessary for ink to dry. The
sheet is again soaked as in the first
instance and the reverse side OF the
bill printed. The thirty day drying
process then has to be repeated.
OLD PROCESS RIOTS FIBER.
In cases where third impression on
the bill is necessary, which is required
when the printing is done in two CO.
ors, the wettiDg and drying process
has to be repeated for third time and
another month is thus consumed in it's
produ ction. Besides the delay of this
process the wetting and drying rot the
fiber of the paper, and although it is
''starched" to give it the crisp appear
ance, the starch soon wears out and
the bill become limp and worn.
In printing bills on paper that has
been treated by the new process no
wetting is necessary. The ink loses
none of its luster when applied to the
paper as under the old process and is
thoroughly dry within forty-eight hours
after the printing is done.-Exchange.

THIRSTlNG FOR REVENGE.
Russian Authorities Recovering From
Recent Depression,


st. Petersburg, April 19.-The au-
:horities here are recovering from the
depression which followed the last
weeks disaster. They seem imbued
with new and feverish energy. The
greatest activity prevails. The public
is more aroused than at: any time since
the war began and now is thirsting for
revenge. Crowds gather on the streets.
The Russ extra bulletin boards are
constantly surrounded although little
fresh news is posted.
The admiralty still lacks definite
data as to the cause of the Petropav-
lovsk catastrophe, although the talk
of boiler explosion and submarine
boat continues. The public shows in
disposition to accept Admiral Togo's
version that mines were responsible.
e. Members of the naval staff frankly
admit that they do not know the cause
of the disaster, but some of them al
ready are inclined to admit the proba-
bility that the enemy's avowal is true.
Perhaps the mystery will be like
that of your Maine," said member
of the naval staff to the correspondent
Of the Associated Press. "It will take
an examination of the hull 10 deter
mine whether the explosion was inter-
nal or external"

Japanese cruiser was sunk, adding
that the cause is unknown.
