fercnt hon that upon the ocean, not
only because Of the lakes being fresh
water ana the absence Of tides. al
though there is a slight tidal influence
in Lake Superior. but because Of the
decreased depth Of water after n dry
summer, in which respect the lakes re-
senble rivers This summer has not
been a particularly dry one. yet Lake
Superior was the only one OF the Great
Lakes which did not fall during the
month Of August. During the month &c
rose two and a quarter inches and has
now practically the same level as It had
during the corresponding month Of each
OF the last three years, but it IS never
theless a foot lower than II was IN 1876
al the same period OF the year. During
August Lakes Michigan and Huron fell
r little more than an inch and they are
likely to fall two inches this month
At the present time they are both more

that a man buys and orders sent home
as a rule. About all we can hope to do
is some advertising and missionary

grades of tires at the shows gives men
who really want &c know chance to
make comparisons, which otherwise are
difficult, and this is the best thing for
any exclusive class Of goods such as
Fisk tires. Going from one stand to an
