LEVELS OF BIGLAKES
CAM0TBE LOWERED
Prof. Mooro Says That tho Chicago
Drainage Canal Has No Effect
Upon Lako Michigan.
Chicago, Aug. 20 Willis Mooie, chief
of tho United States weather bureau,
Is of the opinion that tho opening of
tho Chicago drainage canal has had
no effect upon the level of tho lakes.
That view was expressed by him after
he had completed the circuit of the
great lakes with the concessional
commlttto on rivers and harbors. He
has been In Chicago two dajs, and
was with Professor Cox, of tho Au
ditorium tower, much of the tlmo.
Congressman Burton, chairman of
the house committee on rivers and
lnrbois, made the statement when ho
landed In Chicago that tho level of
the lakes had fallen from three Inches
to a foot and a half. He did not nec
essarily attribute this shrinkage to
the effect of the Chicago drainage
canal. Chief Moore said:
"I am not prepared to state offi
cially what the effect of the Chicago
drainage canal upon the lakes has
been. Nevertheless It Is my belief thnt
the canal has had no effect upon the
level of tho lakes above Niagara. If
there Is an effect It will be found In
a cllmlnlshment of the amount of
water going over Niagara Talis. No
harbor w 111 have to be deepened on
account of the canal. An apparent al
teration of level will be due to other
causes, I am convinced, than the drain
of tho canal. I will go further and sav
that even If the Niagara river were
dammed, so that the four lakes had
no outflow, I do not believe their level
would be really affected.
"Tho lakes, I believe, are solf-rogu-latlng.
The body of water which the
lakes contain could not be supplied by
the great water sheds draining Into
them. What great river or system or
supply drains Into the lakes? Think
how contracted their area of watershed
Is! No, the lakes nre fed through the
geological strata. Water from very
far-off regions comes to the lakes.
Water that falls on opposite slopes,
percolating through the surface earth,
Is carried back by the strata nnd en
ters the lakes. When the pressure is
removed more wnter bubbles up from
these strata, and when tho pressure
Is Increased the Inllow Is proportion
ately checked. Consequently I be
lieve tho water supply of tho lakes
Is automatic, and that their level Is
not determined either by tho Increased
or diminished outflow from their sur
face." TWO BOYS TRY TO EAT FIRE.
Both Are Terribly Burned and One
of Them May Die.
Oskoch, Wis , Aug. 2C Charles Lev I
see and Orlando Quant lie at their
homes in this city teulbly burned, the
former being In n ciltlcal condition,
the result of tr Ing to eat fire. The
bo3 are each 13 years oid.
Being of inventive turns of mind,
tho jouths decided that they would tjet
up n show for tho benefit of their boy
friends and the flie-eatlng feature
would be the grand finale.
They gathered In a barn last night
and the show started The boys filled
their mouths with cotton soaked In
gasoline and planned to Ignite the
fumes as they Issued from their
mouths nnd then lighted the gas.
There was an awful scene. The cot
ton took fire and the flames spread to
tho boys' clothing. The boys' lives
were saved with the gieatest difficulty.
