Old Beaches of Lake

agara river, were closed? well,
that very thing happened not
long ago, as the geologist rates
time," said Prof. John A. Bow
nocker of the department of ge-
ology of the Ohio State Univer-
sity, ''for the great glacier which
once covered-the 9tRa basin of
Lake Erie receded to the north
east and when its edge stood a.
bout where Buffalo does now, the
ice completely blocked the outlet
of the lake.
Under this condition the wa
ter level of the lake rose and cov-
cred the adjacent lowland. The
area overfowed was small in
northeastern Ohio, but in the
western part of the state the area
was much larger and extended as
far south as Delphos and Van
Vert. Finally the water rose SO
high that it crossed the divide in
northeastern Indiana and flowed
into the Wabash and finally into
the Gulf of Mexico. How long
the lake retained this outlet is
not known, but it was short. u.s.
ing the geologist's time scale.
However, it was long enough for
the waters to form a ridge or
beach along the shore, and it is
by means of this ridge that the
old border Of the lake is known.
Later the lake found a lower
outlet across the Sd duthern part of
Michigan and the waters flowed
into Lake Michigan, Since this
outlet was lower tn hn the old one
near Ft. Wayne, thb water level
Of Lake Erie fell ar ID a new ridge
or beach was formed. Later the |
water of Lake Erie found a still
lower outlet acre dss southern
Michigan and of course the level
of the lake was depfessed and a
new ridge or beach was devel-
Oped.
"These three ridges can be
easily traced across northern
Ohio, and where they are close
together are commonly known as
the north, middle and south ridg-
es. When the pioneers came IN
to that part of Ohio they built
houses and villages on these rldg-
es because they were better
drained. In places they laid out
roads on them for the same rea-
son, and to this day such roads
are commonly known as ridge
roads. In time the villages be-
came towns or cities, and among
the places located on these old
ridges or beaches may be men
toned Van Vert, Delphos, Find
lay, Fostoria, Clyde. Bellevue,
Norwalk, Elyria, Cleveland and
Painesville.
These ridges, as might be ex-
pected, consist largely OF SAND
and fine gravel, ard farmers have
learned that they are well adapt
ed to fruit growing. The splen-
did cherry orchards near Belle
vue are located on the highest of
these ridges"

der the judgment of the people.
What the result will be can only
be known after the November
election. The declaration of prin-
ciples involved in the platform
seems ample and well amplifed
and the nominees of the Repub-
lican convention are men who
will command the considerate
judgment of an enlightened and
patriotic people. These men are
better than the platform and are
a platform of themselves.
St. Louis is the center of at
traction this week and what may
result from that deliberation is
already a foregone conclusion so
far as the head of the ticket is
concerned. It will be Wilson,
and the only thing in doubt is
who will be his running mate.
There seems to be a fe cling a.
mong many that Marshal shall be
kept in place with Wilson-pre-
sent the same men on the ticket
as were presented four years ago.
With these men the slogan of
peace, prosperity and prepared
ness will be heralded. The wise
man has said there is nothing
new under the sun, and this slo-
gan is not a new creature. Our
nation has been feasting on this
alirnent for some time, and the
people have become somewhat
accustomed to diet of the kind as
dished up to appease the craving
of such as are always wanting
something new and untried. It
seems so far as nominees and
platform are concerned that the
whole business is fully determ-
ined, is cut and dried and leaves
nothing to be done except to
meet and adjourn sine die.
After a weeks constant rain
we have had two days without |

may be exempt from rain we

1t was a strange coincidence that
this should be so. Following his ex-
traordinary success as an actor in
Madame Bernhardts company, Lou
TellsEen. by reason Of the great favor
that had been shown him In his tours
Of the United States with the famous
actress, decided to learn the English
language sufficiently well to appear as
q star on the American stage. Thus,
one year after he had made his de-
cision. he had SO completely mastered
English az to realize his ambition. His
debut on the English speaking stage in
New York was brilliant success. His
play was a Spanish drama entitled,
Maria Rosa" Critics and public her
aided him at once as one Of the lead
ing romantic actors.
When Lou-Tellegen went to the
Lasky studios last spring, to appear in
picturizations Of "The Explorer and
"The Unknown" he there met Miss
Farrar. When he heard that Miss Far
rar was to appear in a photoplay YER

his assistance to her and the other
artists. At the age Of eighteen he was
graduated with highest honors from
