who succeeded Rear Admiral Brown
son as chief OF bureau OF navigation,
has had wide experience in various
branches OF naval work. He is a native
OF Massachusetts and graduate OF the

years he was attached to the coast sur
vey and performed work OF great

The old saying AS savage rs a rat"
must be changed A Chicago boy
caught large rat and kept him IN a
cage for a month and tried many ex-
periments on him. One os the things
he did was 20 let loose large grass
hopper IN the same cage. and the rat
was 50 frightened by the insect that be
crouched IN corner and whined and
shiyered with fear. When n sparrow
was introduced TO the cage, the rat ran

II is strange how estimates differ as
TO the age OF the Niagara falls Geol-
ogists have studied the question for
years. but they do not agree In their
conclusions. The old notion was that
changes in the level OF the land around
the great lakes produced the Niagara
river about $4,000 years ago. Later
investigation reduced this estimate TO
1900 years, a wonderful difference.
Then famous geologist made II 35..
600 years. which In turn was reduced
TO 1900 years. The most recent estl.
mate Is that OF Or. Spencer. who
thinks that the river Is about 81
600 years old and the falls $1,000 years
old. At one time, thousands OF years
ago. the height OF the falls was about
400 feet

Cripple Creek Gold Output.

Cripple Creek, Colo.-The total ton
mage shipped from the Cripple Creek
district during August amounted to
G6,SSG tons, with gross bullion value
of S1,330,774. These figures show an
increase in tonnage over the month of
July of 1924 tons. and a decrease in
bullion value of $14,257. In view of
the fact that the heavy rains have in
terfered to considerable extent with
hauling and that the allied lines have
been unable to supply the full demand
for cars. this record is considered re-
markable.
The coming month will see two more
mills of large capacity in full opera
ton. The new spur to be built to
open the northern section of the dis
trict will probably be finished this
month. The district is now shipping
its largest daily tonnage to the valley
mills and smelters, an average of al
most seventy broad gauge cars leaving
the camp every day. The figures Of
tonnage and gross bullion values as
given out by the various mills and
smelterS are as follows:
