GREAT LAKES VESSELS
LAID UP FOR WINTER
Revenue Cutters Withdrawal Marks
Closing of Season-Some
Navigation.

The closed season on the great lakes
has begun. Indicated by the calling out of
commission of the revenue cutter Morrow.
with station at Detroit. The revenue
cutter Mackinac, stationed at Saulte Ste
Marie; the revenue cutter Tuscarora, at
Milwaukee, and the revenue launch Pa
troll, at Chicago, comprising the balance
of the revenue cutter service fleet on the
great lakes, have already gone out of
commission. and are laid up for the win
ter.
The closed season on the great lakes
means practically the suspension of all
water communication during that period
varying in duration according to the Sc
verify of the season. Navigation is car
ried on. in a small way, at great peril
from the extensive fields of ice that form
along the shores of the great lakes, some
times freezing the whole lake area solid
to a depth of thirty inches
The Sault Ste Marie canal freezes up to
a depth Of thirty inches. Only constant
procession of heavy water craft could
keep channel open In the weather con-
ditions that prevail. The ice forms sew
eral inches thick in just few minutes,
preventing any possibility of breaking
through in a short interval.
Shore Channel Used.
But there is some attempt to keep up
communication by water between ports
on the same lake and on the same Shore
When winds are favorable the shore ice
is moved toward the center of the lake,
leaving a waterway between its edges
and the land. This channel is used under
favorable circumstances, sometimes at
great risk of change of wind and a con-
sequent seizure in the grip of the ice.
by intrepid lake seamen and masters.
Many winter tragedies have occurred
through this effort to keep up navigation
under almost prohibitive conditions.
There are several ship lines, running
freight steamers and passenger ferries
between neighboring cities on the lakes
that attempt to maintain a year-round
service. None of them attempt to make
daily trips, except, perhaps, the railroad
ferries, carrying cars from one point to
another not far distant. There is some
such effort to keep up communication be-
tween Milwaukee and Detroit.
Storm conditions are worse on Lake
Erie and Lake Superior than on the other
great lakes. The prevailing winds, east
and west, find wide sweep over these
lakes, whose greatest reach is parallel
to these points of the compass. On Lakes
Huron and Michigan, the greatest force
from northeast and northwest.

American Cathedral Building
By Frederic J. Haskin.

This is the beginning of the American
cathedral age. Older countries. with GEN.
turtles of established church history, have
symbolized their religious faith by the
erection of beautiful buildings which
both church and state. In this new
country the churches themselves had first
to be established before the erection of
monuments to mark their prosperity.
Consequently it has only been within the
past half century that the building of
cathedrals in the United States has re
ceived any notable consideration.
The most ambitious effort of American
cathedral building yet undertaken is the
erection of the Cathedral of st. John the
Divine. in New York city. for which new
plans were submitted last month. The
first plans for this cathedral were made
in 1891. After the completion of less than
half Of the structure a change was made
I'm the architectural control and new plans
were asked for. These have not yet been
approved, but the set submitted includes
some departures from the English Gothic
type at first agreed upon. The modern
tant Episcopal Church of the United
States as an established institution en-
tirely independent of the Anglican ideals.
1t Is felt by many that the greatest Prot
estant cathedral in this country. while
following some conventional outlines,
should also embody the spirit of modern
Americanism rather than merely imi-
tating the types Of the old world.

Students from the rural districts are bet

the cities. according to Prof. David
Rothrock of Indiana University, who to-
day gave out data concerning go stu
dents enrolled in the mathematics de-
partment during the fall terms of
school,
> The students were grouped according TO
parentage into three classes, those whose
fathers are farmers, those whose fathers
are professional and those whose fathers
are engaged in commercial pursuits. The
first named class composed only % per
cent of the $50 students. the second class
13 per cent and the third 5S per cent. The
students from the farm made an average

compared with 745 for the second class
and 35.6 for the third class.

Chapel was added afterward and dedi-
Gated in 1903 as a part of the celebration
of the fiftieth anniversary. st. Patrick s
Cathedral is especially noted for its mag
nificent stained glass windows, which
have been pronounced as the finest col
lection found in any one church in the
world, for the modern stained glass now
rivals that of antiquity.
The third cathedral in New York city
is St Nicholas of the Russian Catholic
Church. 1t is a simple design having
large rounded domes on each of its five
steeples a distinctly Russian feature.
This cathedral is especially popular to
visitors outside of the Russian faith who
go to enjoy the music rendered by its
male choir.
The first Episcopal cathedral in this
country was All Saints in Albany. Its
corner stone was laid in 1S4S. 1t is of
modified Gothic type. Though simple in
comparison with the magnifcence of st.
John the Divine, it is noteworthy for its
historical association. 1t has some fine
old carvings and memorial windows
which contain such names as SCHUYLER
1888; Gansevoort, 1860; Van Rensselaer,
1880, and Pruyn, 1860. The plans for the
Protestant Episcopal cathedral in St
structure is not yet completed The rere-
dos of its altar were only unveiled and
consecrated last Christmas by Bishop
futile, presiding bishop of the United
States. This cathedral is the most inn
portant ecclesiastical building in St
Louis from an architectural standpoint.

auently this edifice alone represents a
contribution of SO per capita for the
entire church. About half of this sum
has now been secured. In the mean

so that in all probability at least

adapted to modern ecclesiastical ideals.
Architects are now recognizing the
need Of a distinctly national spirit in
the composition of great American
churches. At least one important archf-
tectural firm of the country now boldly
announces itself as cathedral archi-
tects.' Their work consists entirely in
designing fine church structures This
new branch of the profession will
strive to develop a typical American
ecclesia stical style in architecture,
which will represent the vast progress
of the Christian Church in this country.
The earlier American churches were
of the meeting house type. TheNe was
no money to spend in rich carvings
and costly ornamentation. AS the
wealth of the nation increased the en-
richfnent of it's ecclesiastical buildings
followed. The cathedral Is an institu-
ton apart from the parish church. 1t
is the official seat of the bishop of the
diocese. No definite requirements as
to architecture are essential in a
building used for cathedral purposes.
Any church selected by the bishop may
serve with the consent of its priest In
charge. The building of cathedral
proper marks an era of prosperity IN
the diocese in which 1t is located. 1t
is supported by special funds chiefly
secured from voluntary contributions.
