Ata recent meeting of the Chicago Academy of Sciences, Dr. Andrews made' some remarks concerning the beach lines of Lake Michigan and,' Hur- ton. Tiesaid - There is no doubt but that Lakes. htichiga,n an Huron formerly' stood higher than theY do now. The water ran` over the present- site of Chicaage,. exte ding down the Ees Plaiines River,` Tom] g as outlet in that direction, that can be plainly traced now; • The old beach lines show distinctly the ancient shore, .showing that: the ancient lake. was somewhat larger than novo, and dif ferently.:shaped-from the present one. There are ;,L --c,- two ancient beaches south -of Lake Huron, showing that lake or- .iginally covered' the whole country Routh. of it,so that it formed one Lake with Lake St. Glair . and Lake Erie. A.ii these ancient beaches were Ira •e- u,kle by shore lines.. Dvidently the whole Country hats.,undergone a change 'of laateItin its ciiferent parts since that time i because the original beach line must have been level at first; hat now the ancient beach on the *Wisconsin shares of Lake Michigan is 50 feet -be - lo* 'the surface of the. xwaa.tei, while on the Michigan shore it is only 2U' feet above the water, snowing that t ' the- Wli cousin shore has been ' raised 'as -eom axed with the Michigan shore.. The old beaches around Lake .Huron litre 1 150- feet above,_the water. This -dia. ge from- tlxe higher to the lowEr level` occurredsuddenly, because there are o sand beaches below the princi- pal level, until the present level is readhed., There is some proof that this change 'f level 'was accompanied. with violent earthquake action because in the valley of the Bes Plaines' River there 'iscreek obscmyable in the rock 20 feet in width.

The Emperor Max -inns (very much of a man) was 9 feet high, and was in the habit'of using his wife's bracelet for a thumb ring. His shoe was a foot longer than that of any other man, and his strength, so great tnat he could draw a carriage which two oxen could not move. He generallyate forty pounds' weight of flesh and drank six gallons of wine every day.

This giant was over 10 feet high. But these are`bigui'ies compared with him of 'whom' Kircher writes (though this is yvhat a. Yankee philosopti er _ would de- nominaa.te.>a whopper).. The skeleton of this giant was dug out of a stone sepal: cher near Rome in the reign of the Ernperor Henry II., and which, by an inscription- attached to, it, was known to be that of Pallas, who Was slain by T.umnn-ts and was higher than the walls of the city !
