LAKE ERIE MAY FIND
ANOTHER OUTLET
Niagara River Is Due to Be Dry i,
$500 Years


& NIAGARA FALLS. N. Y, Sept. 16.--
The Geographic congress
met here today The principal speak
er was Grove Karl Gilbert, of
Brooklyn. spoke on the formation
of NiagaraFalls and the gorge. The
American falls, he says, have receded
much more slowly because there is no
great depth Of water at the base Of
the fall. A picture taken of the Horse
shoe fall in 1927 was shown. There
has been remarkable recession in
seventy five years. At the end of the
-laciaI reriod. he said. the land was
tilted as result of the retreat of the
ice. If this fitting continues Lake
Erie will in the course of time find
another outlet and the Niagara river
will be dry. This change would be
wrought in possibly $500 years.

GRASS DIET PALS.
New York Disciple Is Tempted
and Falls From Grace

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-Senor San
tos, Cuban grass eater of Brooklyn,
who follows Nebuchadnezzar for his
stomach's sake, has a disciple. True,
his disciple was a backsnder, but he is
in the fold again.
Frank B. Taylor, who runs a deli
catessen store in Brooklyn, is the first
to follow Senor Santos. He says it
cured him and will cure others. Tay-
lor, who is a Maine Yankee, and along
in years, has been troubled with indi-
gestion. He tried everything for it,
even DOCTORS he says. The doctors
gave him up. And then came the dis
covery that Santos, who lives two
blocks away, had been cured by native
blue grass.
Taylor emptied a salad bowl, went
to the park and gathered a peck of
grass tops. He cut out his regular
food and chewed grass all day long,
All about him were tempting potato
salads, ripe frankfurters and Virginia
hams. They tempted him not; he
closed his nostrils.
A week passed. Taylor felt as strong
as an elephant-too strong, for a
tempting desire for flesh came upon
him. 1t took all his New England
conscience and Maine backbone to re-
sist the slices of Westphalia ham ana
bologna which he set daily il the
showcase On the fourteenth day of
Taylor's new life his daughter was
out and he was alone in the shop, and
the potato salad gave out. He had
been letting his daughter mix the SAL
al. believing it best to remove tempta-
ton wholly from his path But that
salad had to be mixed.
Anyhow" unused Taylor, at won't

ing an appetite for good victuals is a

will just smell it,
That, as his tutor would have told
Rollo, was the first fatal step. He got
out boiled potatoes. Such nice,
creamy, firm potatoes they were it
gave him a pleasurable sensation lust
to cut into them.
1t does beat all how his old stomach
keeps a-grippin' a man, said Taylor.
But I've found a better way" He
chopped in onions and parsley, and
they certainly smelled good. He mix
ed the salad dressing. Fortifying his
mind thus, he dumped the potatoes in
a salad bowl and poured out the rich,
creamy, tempting dressing and mixed

that dressing just right? How am I
going to know if don't taste it?''
"Of course, how can you tell? One
little taste viii do no harm," whispered
the voice of the tempter. And then,
with mad, despairing sigh, the dis
ciple of Santos and pure living fell.
When Miss Taylor came back to the
shop she shrieked at the awful sight
she beheld. There her father was sit
ting on the floor. Beside him was the

LEAP FROM WINDOWS
TO ESCAPE { FLAMES
ST. Paul Sash and Door Fac
tory Is Destroyed by
Fire

The factory of the ST. Paul Sash,
Door and Lumber company, S15 Rice
street, was destroyed yesterday after
noon by fire which originated in a mys-
terious manner in the basement. The
loss caused by the blaze is estimated
at $123, 600, only $1,000 of which is COW
cred by insurance.
The fire was discovered shortly be-
fore 4 o'clock and spread with great
rapidity, the dust, shavings and lum-
Der in the factory burning like tinde1.
Several workmen on the second and
third floors. cut off from escape by the
flames and smoke, were obliged to
jump for their lives. No one was in
jured.
Workmen Discover Blaze
The fire was discovered by two work
men, Felix Wicke and John Kusick.
They attempted to check the blaze with
apparatus in the factory. but were
compelled to retire within two minutes,
the flames, which first issued from a
narrow hole in the floor, Speeding every
instant
The fire department was summoned
by telephone, and when the first en-
gine arrived second call was sent in.
Though the flames were breaking from
the roof and windows on every side
when the fight began, the firemen had
the fire under control within half an
hour. Streams were played from all
sides and at o'clock the fire was well
stopped. The heavy brick walls of the
factory building remained standing
when the roof and floors fell and pre-
vented the fire from spreading.
The factory building was 100 by $50
feet, and separated by ffteen-foot
driveway is new pressed brick struc-
ture used as warehouse and office. AS
result of the work of the fremen the
latter building was not damaged,
though it is connected with the factory
by two gangways.
Sparks Drop on Houses
When the fire was at its height
sparks carried through the air alighted
on neighboring dwelling houses. and
several small fires were started on the
with ladders prevented damage. The
geyser was called and in a few in
stances incfpient fires were extinguish-
ed by it. The residence of Mrs. Kate
Powell, 76 .Tilton street, the roof of
which was slightly burned, suffered
most from sparks.
The lumber company is a stock con-
cern, of which J. Bjornstad is presi-
dent, and his son, B. Rjornstad, secre-
tary and treasurer The elder Bjorn-
stad, who has conducted factory for
many years, has suffered serious losses
twice before by fire. His factory was
destroyed in 1894, and the building
which was burned yesterday was erect
ed to take the place of the frame struc-
ture leveled to the ground at that time.
The loss to the building is estimated
at $4,000, and the stock, which was
totally destroyed, was valued at $75,-
900. Machinery which was destroyed
was Installed at cost of $1,000, and
the tools of seventy five men who were
employed at the factory are estimated
to have been worth $1,000.
The company carried only $500 in
surance, of which $4,000 was on the
building which escaped the fire.

They Manage to Keep Very Busy
without Doing Very Much.

How is it that birds and beasts man
cumbing to ennui. or, at least. without
being bored nearly to death? Animals.
as a rule. do not loaf. 1t is not thus
that they solve the problem. Loafing is
an art which but few living creatures
understand. Lizards. crocodiies and
chaprassis are the greatest authorities
on the subject. Animals have acquired
the knack of making much ado about
nothing; they have learned TO be very
busy without doing anything. This ac-
complishment obviously differs from
that of loafing. 1t is one which ami
mails have brought to perfection and
of which many human beings, chiefly
women. are very able opponents. There
is overhead a wasp busily exploring
the holes in the trunk of a tree. Why
he does this he probably does not know;
he has no time to stop and think. He
is quite content to explore away as
though his life depended upon it. Five
times within the last six minutes he
has infinitely inspected every portion
of the same hole. All his labor is use
less. in a sense; without it. however,
the wasp would in all probability die
of ennui. The wasp is not an isolated
case. Most animals are experts at fritz
tering ava time; they spend much
of their lives in actively doing nothing.
Watch a canary in a cage He hops
backward and forward between two
perches as though he was paid by the
distance for doing so. Look at a butter
fly. 1t leads an aimless existence. New
ertheless it is always busy. A bee
probably visits twenty times as many
flowers in the day as a butterfly: for
all that the butterfly is always on the
move.
When speaking of the swift, | notice
how long it took to find the materials
for its nest, how it went afar off to
seek that which was at its feet. This.
although the result of stupidity. is
doubtless a blessing to the bird. Nest
building affords great pleasure to the
bird-the more prOtracted the amuse-
ment the better for the architect. The
squirrel labors from early morn till
late eve laying up a store of nuts.
When one storehouse is full, the indus
trious animal opens another and then
proceeds to forget the existence of the
first. Lastly. animals spend no incon-
siderable portion of the day in play.
Nearly all the higher animals indulge
in play; some go so far as to play reg
ular games.-Times of India.
