The nl and Fall of the Water Is Caused by llinrnee In Rainfall. The variations In tho levels of tho great Inko have beeu the subject of study for many years p wt, nud various theories havo been advanced to account for thoni. Thirty years ago nil avail ble flnta regarding the 11 actuations wore compiled, showing tho more Irn poiluuLchange in tho lower lakes be tween 183S and 1857, with u fow facts j as to exceptional phnoiiicnn In earlier years. In ltWll tlio United rJtates en gineers began systematic gauge read logs, and tho work is bUII continued The highest kno-vn level occurred In 1838, when Michigan and Huron rose twenty-six Inches nbovo ordinary high btage. end Krio and Ontario eighteen Inches. The lojfpst level was in 1810, when Rrio fell about three and a. half feet below Its usuul plane. Tho fluc tuations, apart from thoso which nre annual utul those caused by tho winds j aro of periodical occurrence, and ore characterized by a remarkable approach to regularity. Sinco tho highest waters of 1838 there havo been alternate periods of descension nnd ascension of , of the levels, either flvo, heven or eight years in Ifiigth, tho seven year period being the most frequent. As wo havo said, various theories havo been advanced to account for these changes. Tho winds, of course, i causo temporary and local fluctuations. I Eric, tho shallowest of the lakes, has been known to havo Its level raised I seven or eight feet at ono end nnd I equnlly depressed at the other by a galo , blowing cost or west for several days. Irregularities nnd variations of atmos- pheric pressuro also cause changes of level, nnd thcra tiro tides on the lakes ' as well as on tho ocean, tho highest i known spring tide rising about threo Inches. Sun spot influences, too, havo been assigned as a cause of tho fluctu ations. It seems, however, to bo well estab lished that tho periodical and general fluctuations nro duo to tho variations in rainfall. Tho curves showing tho secular variations of lako level approx imate so closely to those of rainfall as to show conclusively that the riso and fall of the lakes by periods of years nro dependent on tho cycles of rainy and dry years, which similarly coincide with tho curves showing temperature cycles. A succession of wet years produces exceptionally high water, a succession of dry years oxtromely low water. There h n limit, howcer, to such cumulutivo effects, for when the water is high its outflow is moro rapid than when It is low, and an automatic chock is thus provided. Toronto Mail. A Feather In Ills Cap. Tho phrase, a feather in his cap, sig nifying honor and dlbtinction, nroso from tho custom prevalent among tho ancient Syrians nud perpetuated to this day among tho various savngo or scml civllhed tribes of Asia and America, of adding a new feather to their hcadgonr for every enemy slain. In the days of chivalry tho maldon knight received his casque fealherless j and won his plumes ns ho had won his spurs. In a manuscript written by Ulehnrd Hansard in 1508, and pre served In tho British museum, it is said of the Hungarians that it had been nn ancient custom among thorn that none fchnuld wear n feather but ho who had Killod a Turk, and to such only it was lawful to show tho number of feathers In their caps. In Scotland and Wales it Is htlll ciistommy for the sportsman who kills his Hrst wood duck, to pluck out a feather and stick it in his cap. UTchango. Wh) film Wniitnd to Die.

The lone list of fall and winter pas times which aro Indulged In by the younger pepl nd ih rfZS, teniity contains one which, although no" 2 universally pP'f ."J other sports. In many sections i. tost gSnTng favor as an Interesting outdoor game, and that Is "peggy. There are but very few men of today who cannot well remember the countless number of broom, hoe and rake han dles and wheel spokes mat were ... need In their earlier days for the pur poso of Indulging in this all absorbing gome. . . , Tho game of today differs in but few respects from that of the middle aged man's barefooted and Knickerbocker day. The paraphernalia of the game years ago consisted of a round piece of hard wood about Ave Inches in length and nn inch In diameter, sharpened to a blunt point at both ends, known as peggy," nnd a round stick of about two feet in length and of the same dianieter as the peggy. The game was commenced by "cock ing" tho peggy in a groove in the ground, made by pounding the peggy into tho yielding soil with the btick. Tim contestant lucky enough to ob tain first "licks" strikes tlio upturned point of tho peggy with the stick, caus ing it to ily into the air. Ho then endeavoied to strike the fly ing piece of wood while in motion; whenever it happened to drop, tho 6anie operation was repeated until the player had three "licks." (In the last two, however, he was not allowed to "cock" tho pe&&y but he must rabe It from the ground wherever or in whatever position it might be.) Tho distance was then mentally cal culated or measured carefully by strides, nnd the opponent was given a certain number of leaps to cover the distance in. Should ho fail to do it in tho required number, bo many points (that is, one for each leap) wero credited to the player. Should the leaper, however, All the contract and cover tho distance in the required number of Jumps or leaps, then the player had gained nothing by his "licks," or inning. His opponent would then take his turn with the stick, and so on until either contestant had secured a certain number ot points, varying from 100 to 1,000, tho first one to reacli tho specified number being the winner. In tlio game of today the "peggy" itself is made of a round piece of hard wood and shaped much like a cone. It is not longer ,than 2 1-2 inches and is nearly as wide in diameter. Tlio stick used is round, but flattened at tho striking end, and much resem bles tho head end of an ax handle. Tlio flip, or start, is made from a flat rock or piece of marble. The same rules and requirements govern as In olden times, with the oiceptlon of ineas tiring tho distance instead of leaping. Tlio dlstanco covered by each player is recorded, and the party securing the specified number first, generally 1,000 feet, is declaied the winner. There is considerable science brought Into play In the game, especially in rnlsing the peggy. Tlio ends are so blunt that a greenhorn might pound until ho was tired without raising tho "peggy" an inch oil the plate. Then, again, a player quite often hi striking down fails to oven hit the peggy. Each such failure counts as a "lick," and many times ono contestant takes an inning and does not even stir tho little joker. Ono advantage in the game is that as many as desire can play, although not frequenUy moro than two or three play in tho same contest. Boston Globe. When Leather Was Money. Leathor was vory early used as a cur rency, the Romans employing It for tills purpose before either gold, silver or brass cauio into common use. His tory is full of references showing that leather was used by the ancients as a sort of circulating medium of exchange. It Is said on good authority that so Into as during tho reign of Louis XII of Franco the country became so Im poverished, nnd as a consequence money was bo scarce, that little pieces of leather, with a small silver nail driven through each, wero In general tibo as money. Somo fow specimens of this leather money tire still in existence, but ore only to be found In tho pos session of numismatists, by whom they are highly prized. New York Adver tiser.
