Niagara Palls Rons Dry
For the first time in the history of
the white man on the American Con
tinent, the Niagara channel above
the falls was crossed from the main
land to Luna Island. This feat was
accomplished by three men. Starting
out with hip boots, they . made their
way without difficulty over the ice to
the little stream which wound through
the ice pack,, splashing through
without danger. Usually this is
covered many feet deep with ,a
rushing deadly currant. Thousands
of people witnessed these phenomenal
scenes, and many photographs were
taken. Niagara falls has been cutting
ba^k its channel for thousands of
years, at the average rate of from
one to three feet a year, until a can
yon several miles in length and sev
eral hundred feet deep has been ex
cavated. The geological structure of
the falls is that of thick beds of lime
stone resting horizontally upon soft
shale. The softer strata at the base
are undermined, and block after block
of limestone is cut off from the cliff
over which the cataracts fall. Lyell
estimated the length of time required
for the excavation of the whole Ni
agara ravine at 36,000 years. The to
tal area of the recession of the Amer
ican falls is 32,000 square feet, and
that of the Horseshoe falls 675,400
feet. A feature of interest in the fu
ture history of the Niagara river is
that if the structure of the gorge con
tinues the same from the falls to Lake
Erie, the recession of the falls will
tap the lake and reduce the surfaoe
to the level of the bottom of the ra
vine.—Mining Science.
