of 1925 Lake Michigan has_ been slowly recovering from the effects of the dry years from 1917 to 1925. In- creased rainfall is attributed to the rise in Lake Michigan water during April by the Chicago sanitary dis- trict engineers. Statistics of the gov- ernment lake survey show that Lakes Michigan and Huron rose three-tenths of a foot during that month. Lake Michigan now is about 0.96 of a foot higher than a year ago, and in the latter part of April was only 4.45 feet below the high stage of April, 1886. It was 1.06 feet below the average stage of April for the last ten years, it is declared. Figures cited for the other lakes are taken to show that Lake Superior has risen 1.31 feet in the past year; Lake Erie has gained 0.94 feet, and Lake Ontario 1.05 feet. * * * CHEDULES of the steamship lines running from Chicago to outside points now are on Chicago daylight savings time, which is an hour ahead of central standard time, and all re- ports are being made on Chicago time.. * * * HE proposal of the Goodrich Tran- sit Co. to start operating a second boat between Chicago and Milwaukee, to supplement the services of the CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS, has_ been abandoned for the present. It had been decided to have one of these boats leave Milwaukee for the Chi- cago trip at the same time the other departs from Chicago for Milwaukee, the vessels to cross paths enroute. The Chicago-Milwaukee runs will now be maintained as_ heretofore. * * OAT schedules to Mackinac will be the same as during last sum- mer. Daily services between Chicago, Grand Haven and Muskegon, Mich., were resumed on May 26.
