Abstract
Lake Superior, the largest lake in the world, discharges into Lake Iuron through the St. Marys River, about 60 miles long, with a fall of about 22 feet, the greater part of the fall being found at the St. Marys Rapids. Lakes Huron and Michigan are connected by the Strait of Mackinac, the channel being of such ample dimensions that these two lakes have practically the same surface elevation. Lake Huron discharges into Lake Erie through the St. Clair and Detroit Rivers and the enlargement known as Lake St. Clair, the fall in the 87 miles of this outlet being about 8 feet. Lake Erie is connected with Lake Ontario by the Niagara River, the fall of 326 feet being largely concentrated at Niagara Falls. In the St. Lawrence River, draining the entire system, the fall is 244 feet to the sea.
