cape in Norway; others, more pa
about the wonders of the western
hemisphere, are sailing northward to
distant Alaska.
In fact, Americans are finding that
their own land offers many attractions
to the sightseer which were over
looked by summer travellers of a dec
ade ago. This new spirit has led to
the discovery of the great lakes.
Everybody has known in a general
way that the inland chain of water
ways formed a great commercial
highway. Newspaper readers are
aware that the traffic through the
500 canal is greatly in excess of that
which passes through the ditch which
DeLesseps dug across the isthmus of
Suez, although at the 500 business is
done only eight months of the year.
But it remained for our English cous-
ms to discover the charm which the
great lakes have for the lover of
nature and the person in search of
invigorating and health-giving vaca-
ton experiences. Consultation of
literary indexes shows that many
more English writers have seen fit to
describe their travels, especially on
lakes Huron and Superior, thar have
Americans. For many years English
men travelling in the Dominion of
Canada have as regular part of
their trip taken some one of the little
British steamers that ply from
Georgian Bay among the islands of
the northern shore of Huron through
the 500 and along the northern coast
of Superior, stopping at little trading
villages, once the posts of the Hud-
son Bay company. Now an increas-
ing army of Americans Is following
this advance guard of Englishmen.
Lake Superior never fails to
possess the Imagination of those who
make the trip across it. The traveller
who has boarded steamer at Buff
falo, Cleveland or Detroit leaves
pretty-almost pastoral-scenery be-
hind as he passes out of Lake st.
Clair and Detroit's famous American
Venice, the flats, where summer
homes in thousands have been built
on low, tangled islands. Lake HUI
ron serves as an intermediate APP
proach. Ii is large and stormy but
its waters are bright green as are
those of all the lakes except Superior
AS the tourist leaves the canals at
the 500 he is embarked on the largest
of the worlds bodies of fresh water
From its outlet to Duluth, where the
st. Louis river tumbles into the
waters at the head of the lake. Il is
$50 miles long. 100 miles broad. with
coast line of $500 miles an an area
of $4,000 square miles-more than
equal TO that of New Hampshire. Yer

Isenger steamers which now ply upon
its surface, ruffie waters which are so
deep that the bottom of the lake is
about 400 neet below the level OF New
York harbor. Seamen win tell you
that there are places where the dark

, about ten per cent of the vessels on
the lakes are British.
With The discovery of the lakes
themselves has come the discovery
OF nearby localities. Many tourists
take side trip to the Pictured Rocks
in Schoolcraft county, Michigan,
about 100 miles east from the 500,
where the winter northwest winds
flashing the waves have wrought the
sandstone cliffs into strange and fan
tastic forms. These always excite
the wonderment of the stranger, al
though to the native they are of lit
tie consequence. Sure, they are high
and rough and stained and rather
curious" said man who had lived
| near them most of his life to a trav-
eler not long ago: "still they amt
nothing but rock, after all. Strange
why folks come all the way from
| New York to see them"
Then, too, there are opportunities
| for the sportsman to the north of
Lake Superior in one of the widest
| hill countries of the continent, with
reaches of mountain and valley thick
ly overgrown with spruce trees, with
lakes and trout streams innumerable,
and with very occasionally a little
hamlet or even single farmstead in
some exceptionally fertile spot. A
| recent traveller in the region to the
north of Lake Superior speaks of find
/ ing so miles from habitation liter
airy Englishman who occasionally gets
| to the nearest railroad station and

Times to which he is a regular sub
scriber Large cities are springing
upon the edge of this wilderness.
Thus the city of Duluth, which ex-
tends for 26 miles along the sharply
rising shore at the western extremity
of Lake Superior, is so near the forest
that bears actually invade its suburbs.
and moose have been seen wandering
in its streets.
The lake region has had its share
of romance and the twentieth-century
traveller is following pathways over
which centuries ago the Indians pad
died their war canoes. Later came
the missionaries and the voyageurs
and long after appeared the rude
sailing craft which marked the begin
ming of the modern commerce which
has since grown to such enormous
proportions. Some of the stories
told of lake history relate to more re-
cent events. Thus the Englishmen
who write of their travels in Ameri-
ca generally tell, sometimes with la
|, mentation, the story of Silver Island,
a little one-acre rock near the north
ern shore of Lake Superior. 1t was
once owned by Montreal company
which declined to spend $4,000 in

bit OF rocky land contained valuable
silver ore. The Canadians sold out

blue water is unfathomable; "The
bottom as fell out, Sir" said an Eng
lish sailor, when the plummel failed
to strike anything. The authorities
say, however, that the lake is no
where much more than 1000 feet deep,
which, as its surface Is 627 feet above
sea level, means that if the inland sea
could be drawn directly into the ocean
there would still be a lake nearly
400 feet deep in the center.
Travel on the lakes has much of
the charm to the lover of the sea
which is afforded by a voyage upon
the ocean. Vessels run far from land.
There is life in the breeze and at
times the waves roll high enough to
show what the lake can be when it's
anger Is aroused. But during the
summer season severe storms are of
rare occurrence and fear of seasick-
ness need not disturb travellers here.
While voyaging on these summer
seas, the sightseer finds abundant
evidence that the captains of industry
long ago discovered the value of the
lakes. Great ore and grain carriers
are constantly passing, and most of
these craft fly Uncle Sans flag, a
condition in marked contrast to that
which exists on the ocean. Only

Lest thy heart should awake,
And listen, and hear,
And two hearts should wait where
