A STRATUM of SALT UNDER NIAGARA FALLS.
e Merriam, Of Brooklyn. who has exam,
ined the rocks underlying the limestone bed
of the Niagara river, states that he found
saline stratum under them. This stratum
is the foundation Of the great limestone walls
which form the great cataract Of Niagara. A
frail structure It is, and il is in this stratum
that the Niagara has the whole of its bed be-
low the Falls, and being soft, the water
which falls over the Horse Shoe and over the
American, North Of Goat Island, has no diff
ficulty sinking chasms'of vast depth, into
which the broken rock Of the limestone walls
which compose the cataract falls. This stra-
tum extends over large tract Of country,
watered by the great lakes, which seem 10
have subterranean communication with the
volcanoes Of ilecla, in Iceland, and those Of
the Southern part Of the European continent,
as the disturbance caused by the earthquake
,at Lisbon, in l775, caused the agitation Of
The waters of Lake Ontario. He saws that
an immense volume OF gas arises from the
chasm into which Niagara plunges from the
lofty prccipices which form the Horse Shoe
on the American fall, and might with prop
er apparatus be ignited-and when on fire
would greatly exceed in beauty the flames of
the gas ascending from tho deep ravines Of
the salines Of Kanawha, which give a col
umn Of fame of seventy feet in height. His
conclusion. IRON all his observations, is, that
the great falls do not date beyond the uniyer-
sal delcge. Scientific Ameicda.

Wonders OF the Victorian Age.
Our gracious Queen-long may she fill her throne, >
Has been to see Louis Napoleon.
The Majesty of England-bless her heart.
Has cut her mutton with Bonaparte;
And Cousin Germans have survived the view
OF Albert taking luncheon at ST. Cloud
In our young days we little thought to see
Such legs stretched under such mahogany
That British royalty would ever share
At French palace, French imperial fare;
Nor eat as we should have believed at school
The croaking tenant of the marshy pool,
At the Trois Freres we had not feasted then,
As we have since, and hope to do again.
This great event of course could not take place
Without fit prodges for such a case;
The brazen pig-tail of King George the Third
Thrice with horizontal motion stirred,
Then rose on end, and stood so all day long,
Amid the cheers of admiring throDg.
In every lawyers Office Eldon shed
From plaster nose three heavy drops of red
Each statue toe, of Pitt turn'd up the point
Of its proboscis--was that ont of joint
Whilst Charles James Fox's grnn'd from to ear,
And Peel's emitted frequent cries of Hear!''
