' Great Lakes, THE. Chain of five 

 fresh-water lakes in N. America. 

 Situated between Canada and the 

 U.S.A., they belong to the basin of 

 the St. Lawrence river, by which 

 they are drained to the Atlantic 

 Ocean. In order of size they are 

 Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, 

 and Ontario, and their entire water 

 expanse is about 94,100 sq. m. 



The surface of I/ike Superior is 

 600 ft. above sea level, and between 

 that lake and Erie there is a de- 

 pression of 28 ft., but between Lake 

 Erie and Lake Ontario there occurs 

 a fall of about 320 ft., chiefly due 

 to the precipitation of the Niagara 

 river over a limestone ledge, 

 which forms the Niagara Falls. The 

 channel serving Lake St. Clair 

 has been increased from its 

 original depth of 9i ft. to 20 ft., 

 and the Detroit river has been 

 dredged to a depth of 22 ft. The 

 Sault Ste. -Marie Canal connects 

 Lakes Huron and Superior. Lakes 

 Erie and Ontario are joined by the 

 Welland Canal, which admits the 

 passage of vessels drawing 14 ft., 

 but a" canal in course of building 

 admit vessels of 25 ft. draught.
