Facts About Niagara.
From Prof. Cummings article in the Popular ecienc<
Monthly for September.

THE FLOW OF WATER OVER NIAGARA.
Another element in the problem of
Niagara's age Is the flow of water. To
construct scale from the present and
apply it to the past, we should know
that the amount Of water in past ages
have been essentially the same as now.
About 800 cubic miles of water
nearly half the fresh water on the globe
are in the upper lakes, and 18, OOO, 900
cubic feet Of this plunge over Niagara
Falls every minute, all tho water of the
lakes making the circuit of the falls,
the st. Lawrence, the ocean vapor.
rain and lakes again, in one hundred
and hfty.two years. Through the ILL.,
nois canal about 5000 cubic feet of wa
ter are taken every minute from Lake
Michigan to the Illinois river; through
the Weiland canal $4,000 cubic feet
flow every minute from Lake Erie into
Lake Ontario, and through the Erie
canal 10000 cubic feet passes every
minute from the same lake into the
Hudson. Thus, So, 900 cubic feet of
water, which Nature would give to
Niagara, are diverted every minute bv
artificial channels. some into the Mexi-
can Gull, and some into the Bay of
New York. Add this to 100000. it
is as a drop in the bucket, and would
make no appreciable difference in the
character of the falls or their rate of
recession.
AGE Of NIAGARA FALLS,
By all this We see that the Niagara
itself has made the rapids, and that. as
it cuts it's way downward, its forsaken
banks have assumed the character of
terraces. And we sec by the low banks
and absence of old banks above the
rapids, that even the highest of these
ancient banks did not contain a greater
river than this which flows through the
narrow gorge to-day. Weassume, then,
from ali the monuments the river has
left of it's own history, that the present
rate of recession would be fair meas
ure of the past, except at the Whirl-
pool and Ferry Landing. Six inches a
year, measured on the channel, would
place the Fails at Lewiston "a, 600 years
ago. We have no means of kno wing
how long the quartzose sandstone,
which forms the lowest part of the
bank at the Whirlpool, would have ar-
rested the cataract. This stratum is
25 feet thick, and, as its southwark
dip is 20 feet mile, the Falls would
have to cut back through this rock
more than half mile. The halt may
have been many Thousand years. Add
another period tor the halt at the land.
ing, and the age of the channel, from
Lewiston to the Horseshoe, may not
fill below 200, 900 years. Unquestion-
ably the channel has been excavated
since the close of the glacial epoch,
which science has well-nigh demonstrate

The New York Times, the journal that
first published the Doolittle-Conatty
letters, challenges Doolittle to deny the
charges, and offers to submit the proof of
the authenticity Of the letters to any com
mittee that the accused himself may ap-
prove. But there is no need for this,
Doolittle does not deny that he wrote
them. The letter written by Doolittle,
copied by Conatty, and then forwarded
to Doolittle, contains these words:
"And now, my dear sir, allow me to say

AN OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT.

LOUISVILLE, Sept. 2.-Col. Duncan was
the subject of an outrageous assault at
about l o'clock to-day, in the rotunda of
the Gait House. He was seated conyers-
ing with some gentlemen whom he sup
posed his friends, when Gen. Custer, the
blonde Of the army, remarked to him
Colonel, have heard you were going to
sell out to the highest bidder. l suppose
Grant was able to give you better price
than Greeley" Col. Duncan replied :
"Gen. Custer, ! do not allow such remarks
about me- Whoever says offered to sell
out is liar" Upon this, DR.. Jim Keller,
an exec federate surgeon, and now an
ardent Greeley man, jumped up and said
Il am responsible for part of that state
ment land you must retract that lie." Col.
Duncan replied that it was a lie. and he
would not retract. At this Keller struck
at him, but the blow was warded off. Say.
eral blows passed between them, but
they were as docile as Mace and Coburn:
in doing each other little or no injury.
Several friends finally stepped in and
separated the combatants. At this point
Col. B. Wooley, another ex-confederate
Greeleyite, stepped up, and placing his
hand on a revolver in his rear pants peck
ct, said to Col. Duncan: "You are a
white faced son of b-h. You shan't
hurt Keller" Col. Duncln c-oly replied
that he did not wish to hurt him. Soon
after Keller and Wooley were driven off
in a carriage, and Col. Duncan remained
in quiet possession of the battle-ground.
This is a correct account of this unpleas
ant little episode The Greeley papers
have already begun to prevent the fact, for
the purpose of making capital. Keller
was the aggressor, as all who witnessed
the affair asserted. Five minutes after
the occurrence, Duncan was conversing as
coolly as ever and showed no sign of the
affray.

The victory claimed by the Liberals
over the Clerical party in the recent cleo
tions at Rome Is really great one. Evel
since the occupation of the city the Pope
had been proclaiming that the great ma
jority of the Roman population wa'
against the usurper. The plebiscite, it i:
true, showed the reverse; but the plebis
cite was worth nothing, said the Clericals
because the genuine Romans were not al
lowed to vote. Europe will now Judge
whether our assertions were true. All
the Clericals, all the true friends of the
Pope will vote, and this will! be real
! plebiscitc. And all the friends of the
Pope have voted, and the result has dem
onstrated that those declarations were
unfoundcd. The greatest efforts were
made by the Clericals to carry The day
but without success. Notwithstanding
the e1citement>which prevailed. the cleo
tions were conducted in a most orderly
manner, but when the result was known,
the enthusiasm of the people knew no
bounds-EG.
