Why does the water In tbe great
lakes that lie between a large portion
of the United States and Canada rise
and fall In periods which average sev
en yean? This natural phenomenon
has been a puzzle since the days when
France held sway in Canada 21 »J years
ago.
In an unpublished diary of an Eng
lish traveler who voyaged up the St.
Lawrence rtver to Niagara. Ontario,
in tbe summer of 1785. is the follow
ing reference to this mystery of tbe
waters: “A remarkable circumstance
was told me by Mr. Pan see, our con
ductor, who had been constantly en
gaged In this navigation for nearly
twenty years, and which he advised
me Is a matter of fact both from his
own observation and that of the old
est Inhabitant.
Each year the St.
Ijtwrence river settles or falls a little
until rhe seventh year, when It Is visi
ble that It has sunk between three
•rd four feet, and then for the next
seven years It continues to rise in the
same proportion. The river Is at this
time at Its greatest elevation (July L
T85). I took pains to gain some In
formation of this uncommon phenom
enon. I find that the lakes have the
same appearance.”
Careful government records were be
gun about the year 1830 and since then
It has been found that the periods be
tween high and low water are some
times as low as four years and some
times as high as nine years, although
they average seven years. This year
the water is again at its lowest in
the lakes and river, and freight car
riers are having trouble In various
harbors.—Christian Science Monitor.

arating each syllable with reversed
pomp. “Si-mul-ta-ne-ous-ly,” he kept

Tbe death in London of General
Gorgas removes one to whom had be-n
given tbe unofficial but deserved title
of “the world's ptysician.” says the
New York Times. His epoch making
work tn Cuba and at Panama gave
him fame in all civilised lands as a
master of sanitation and of scientific
method. Hfs genius in finally tracing
the yellow fever germ to Its true car
rier and in devising and developing
the sure means of extirpating It
broaght about tn bis lifetime the ful
fillment of bls own prophecy that
cases of yellow fevA would become
a medical rarity. It was Inevitable
that after bis amazing and complete
success tn Cuba and at the Canal zone
bis skilled services should be sought
by other governments.
In Guayaquil be demonstrated again
his ability to rout yellow fever in one
of its historic lairs, and In South Af
rica he brought his knowledge and
devotion into play. No one in hts
time approached him In the number
of victories which be won over trop
ical diseases. It was a dream of
General Gorgas that the tropics might
be made safe for the development of
white civilization, and he did an Im
mense deal to hasten its realization.
The wide recognition which came to
him while living and which Is feeling
ly renewed now that he Is gone, was
less of hfs scientific attainments, great
as they were, than of his achievements
as a soldier of humanity.

MANDOLIN IN SECOND PLACE
Italians In New York Now Exhibit a
Decided Preference for the
Phonograph.
Many an odd note creeps Into the
American process of the melting pot;
often there Is a queer mlxrore of th*
modern with the old-established na
tional customs. Probably nowhere in
Brooklyn is there a better Illustration
of this than In the big Italian colony
lying In tbe region between Browns-
vllle and east New York.
There nightly you hear the Italian's
love for music loudly expressed. not
through tbe tinkling mandolin or gui
tar of Napiee, but through the ultra
modern phonograph. Tbe mom beams
down brightly, and perhaps damsels
as fair as those of sunny Italy peep
through shuttered windows, but tbe
serenade below is one by proxy.
Caruso and McCormack. Martinelli and
Slezak. Galli-Curci and Farrar vie with
each other In vocal flights through
horns of brass and fiber.
Naturally the beloved mandolin, oft
en brought with the btmdte of clothe»
from far-off Sicily or the Neapolitan
hinterland, is cherished stBl. but the
native tunes and airs are confined
largely to the barber shops or the
sadly-altered wine cellars.—Brooklyn

Had a Record.
The only way it would move was
down stream with the current. The
owner had worked on it all afternoon.
In the evening another bout came up.
"Having a bit of trouble?” came
the question from tbe new arrival.
“Yes." replied the owner and went
on working with the engine.
“So you own this boat? What did
yon have to give for her?" asked tbe
new arrival.
"Thirty-five dollars,” replied the
owner.
“That's not a bad price, but that
boat has been around Ravenswood a
number of years and I've known tt
to sell for $25," said the new arrival.
“Bnt yesterday It made a new record:
it was sold for 113.”—Indianapolis

STRANGE WINDS OF CHANCE
French Artist and English Novelist
Mixed Up in Romance of the
Marquesan Islande.
In one of tbe New York art gal-
' leries there Is now on view a primitive
ly-fashioned dr«r decorated with the
figure of a Tahitian belle. This door
has been brought from the far-away
lands of the southern Pacific.
And “thereby hangs a taie"—a tale
that leads to one of the far Marques
an islands where Paul Gaugin “madly
painted his very life's blood Into a
series of astounding canvases, prac
tically living on narcotics at tbe end
because he felt that be must, at any
cost, give bls message to tbe world."
W Somerset Maugham, In bls endleas
search for the endless sucreaslcci ef
plots for his novels and plays, dng up
tbe story of Paul Gaugin’« trail hot
foot from Paris to Tahiti, and even
carried off a door from Ms cabin.
Thus was written "The Meun sod Six
pence."
Gangin died In his adopted borne,
his passing noted only by a few ar
tists. Then the playwright's visit to
the Island, then the book—and Imme
diately there Is a general gathering
of artists, writers, photographers, etc,
on their way to Tahiti.
Mr. Arens has made an article of
unusual Interest in tracing the pe
culiar course of this rather extraor-
dlnary Uterary volume.—Harper’s Ba-
zar.
Two Different View».
“Well.” cried Mrs. Henpeck, 'our
son is engaged to be married. We will
write to the dear lad and congratu
late him.”
Mr. Henpeck agreed (he dare not
do otherwise), and his wife picked up
her pen.
“My darling boy.” read the son.
Your father
“what glorious news!
and I rejoice In your happiness. It
has long been our greatest wish that
you should marry some good woman.
A good woman Is heaven's most prec
ious gift to man. She brings out all
the best In him and helps him to sup
press all that Is evil.”
Then there was a postscript In a
different handwriting:
“Your mother has gone for a stamp.
Keep single, yoc young noodle.”

In every nook and corner of the

give 50 centavos or centime«. And
Americans are not only generous, but

Charlemagne Relic to Relme.
The Reims treasure, so severely Im
periled during the German bombard
ment, has been enAched by a precious
jewel of the ninth, or maybe the eighth
century, a generous gift of the Em
press Eugenie, says Le Monfteur de la
Bijouterie in an article by the “Jew
elers Circular." The matter In ques
tion is tbe reliquary of Charlemagne,
a round capsule of gold encircled with
precious stones, in the middle of
which, made out of two hollowed out
sapphires, a piece of the trva cross Is
Inclosed.
It was found on the neck of the
great emperor and the clergy of Alx-la-
Chapelle (where Charlemagne died and
was bnried in 814) gave it in 1804 to
Napoleon I. What is less well known
is that Napoleon HI. preserved this
magic talisman, which assured, he said,
the empire to Its holder, in his bed

of his bed.

The picture was covered with such
a thick coat of old varnish that Eng
lish dealers wore afraid to risk the
chance of cleaning. Many good Judges
were convinced that It was a genuine
Rembrandt. an<l one of these declared
that It was "not only by Rembrandt,
but one of his masterpiece«.” The pic
ture was bought for 4.800 guineas
