If the crops depended only on moisture ev- aporated from the lands including thei lakes and rivers, they would be as scanty as in deserts. However, in the middle of a continent, millions of bushels of grain are grown by means of waters from the oceans a thousand miles away. Practically all of the world’s corn depends on summer rains from oceans 500 to 1,500 miles away. This is not surprising for two reasons —The evaporaion from the land is less than from the same area of water, as is evident from the dampness of a sea breeze as compared with the dryness of a land breeze. The area of the oceans is two and a half times that of the lands, and two hundred times that of ’ ” a all the lakes, rivers, swamps and other bodies of water on the land. If all the lakes in the world shoutd be evaporated they would supply only one-fifteenth of the rain that falls each year on the lands. As regulators of temperature, even the largest lakes are of little import- \ance compared with oceans. Yet the easern shores of Lake Michigan and Lake Erie are great regions for grapes and other fruits because the northwest winds from them prevent early frosts. Also in the spring the lakes retain the low temperature of winter longer and thus prevent the fruit rees from blos- soming too early and being nipped by the frost. In the same way Chicago is a much more healthful and more vigorous city because in summer the hottest days are often relieved by lake breezes which blow like a sea breeze in the after- noons. Even a small lake or a broad river has a slight cooling effect on the wind in summer, and a warming ef- fect in the autumn, when the water does not grow cold so fast as the land. Water Supply Needed. As people become more civilized, the need of a large water supply steadily increases. It is needed for three main uses, domestic, municipal and indus- trial. The domestic uses begin with drinking, which demand a half gallon or less per person each day on an aver- age. Cooking requires a larger amount, while washing and bathing demand many gallons per day. To this must be added the water drunk by domestic animals, and that which is used for watering plants, gardens and lawns. The municipal uses include all that is needed for fire protection, public fountains and drinking places, street sprinkling, and the flushing of sewers. This amount varies from nothing in small villages to many gallons per person in large cities. In the same way the amount of water used for industrial purposes varies from nothing up to a quantity much larger than for domestic and municipal purposes combined. It includes the water used for engine boil- ers for condensing steam, and for many special industrial purposes. For all these purposes together, an ordinary town requires from 50 to 150 gallons per person daily. Usually the supply is obtained so easily, by simply turning a faucet, that people do not realize how important it is. They feel the importance, however, when there PERMANENT WAVING.
