a longtime gave up all hopes ,of finding
his way out. Ho sat down to await

The Fall of tlfe Lakes.
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. In the ct•eek ' lies a slab

of thy- eaarthquax.lee, turned bottom up-
wards in the Tall, and nerve on the under.
Aurfase,_the old grooves made _ by the.
flowing of the water over it, indicated

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'

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-

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 ! The same author tells' us
that another skeleton was ' found near.

disco\ ered a trick tomb 30. feet long,
12 feet wide, and 8 feet high, on which
was a gray stone With the . words

When the tomb *as opened they found
a human skeleton entire 25.E feet long,
10 feet -wide across the shoulder s, 'and
i5 feet: de fp from the breast to the back.
His teeth was about the size of an ox's
foot, and: his shin -bone measured 4 feet
