Tho Age Of Niagara Falls.

1t is strange how estimates differ as
to the g 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 $1,000 years ago Later
investigation reduced this estimate to
1900 years, a wonderful difference.
Then a famous geologist made 1t 35,-
600 years. which in turn was reduced
to 1900 years. The most recent esti-
mate is that Of DR.. Spencer. who
thinks that the river IL about 49,
600 years old and the falls $1,000 years
Old. At n time, Thousands Of years
ago. the height Of the falls WAS about
20 feet.

OR. QuAYLE ON FAUST
The Methodist Divine Gave an Inter.
est Presentation of Goethe's
Faust Tuesday Night.

Dt. William a.. QUayle, Of Chicago,
was the fifth attraction on the lee
tune aud concert course, appearing
in the Gale theatre Tuesday evening
to a fairly good audience, which
was made smaller by tue unpleasant
evening. DIR. Nicholson introduced
the speaker in a very pleasant nam
ner. and Dr.. Quayle announced that
lie would speak Oh "Faust." TIE
speaker handled the genius of
Geothe's creation In a very specific
manner, and showed its little use to
the world either as a drama or as a
book. His excoriation of his Satanic
Majesty and the temptations that
we're laid to ensnare the men and
women OF the world was a strong

extracts from the play as illustrative.

wrong direction. He pictured the
intrigues OF the devil as a very con-
siderate warning to mankind In
general to avoid the traps that were
so warily laid. The lecture was
IN .sterful In its emphasis of the
eternal moralities.

A Wheel Game.

This game may be played by any
number. though only four at a time can
take part. the others acting as audi
ence until their turns come.
The four occupy four corners Of a
o or space marked out on Il lawn.
As large q space as possible should be
chosen. Each player is provided With
q wheel OF a hoop. At a given signal
all the players start at once to trundle
their wheels. No wheel must be drop
ped, or If it is that player ceases to be
a contestant. The trundling begins at
the right. and each corner must be Wis
tied. and SO on to the starting point
Of each player. He who reaches home
first is the prize winner, or, after all
have tried, he who gets home in the
shortest time wins the prize. The hur-
~ and excitement of the four wheels
visiting at the same time cause much
merriment.

Must Be CHANGED.

The old saying. "As savage as a rat
must be changed. A Chicago boy
caught a large rat and kept him in a
cage for a month and tried many ex.
periments on him. One of the things
he did was to let loose a large grass
hopper in the same cage, and the rat
was so frightened by the insect that he
crouched In a corner and whined and
shivered with fear. When a sparrow
was introduced to the cage, the rat ran
round and round until he fell down
from exhaustion.
