Age OF NIAGARA FALLs.-A recent visit ia
the Falls of Niagara has enabled Mr.. T.
Belt to suggest some notifications il the
views usually entertained with respect to
the time occupied in the excavation of the
gorge. His argument is published in the
April number Of the Quarterly Journal Of
Science. 1t is generally supposed that the
entire gorge from Queenstown to the Falls,
distance of seven miles, has been exca-
waited by the present river since the Glacial
period. Sir Charles Lyell estimated that
the river is cutting its way back at the rate
OF about one foot per annum, but Mr.. Belt
believes that the retrocession does not pro-
coed at more than one tenth of this rate.
he maintains, too, that the gorge from the
whirlpool to the falls was cut out in pre-
glacial times, and that the present river has
excavated only that portion of the gorge
which is worn out in the softer beds be
tween the whirlpool and Queenstown; it's
work above that point having been confined
to clearing out the bed Of the old pre-gla-
cial river in the harder rocks. Mr.. Belt
believes that the facts connected with Mag
ara lend support to his views which refer
the occurrence of the Glacial epoch to q
more recent period than that usually as
sumed.

Light a Mechanical Force.

A very remarkable discovery has JUS
been announced by Prof. Crookes befor,
the English Royal Society. This discovery
is that light has mechanical force.
1t has always been assumed, and DR.. Bal.
fonr Stewart and other authorities have af.
frmed that light, apart from heat, has no
mechanical force whatever. This old the.
DRY is overthrow by Mr.. Crookes, who for
some years past has been making experi-
m ents, and has at last constructed an inpe-
NOUS apparatus by which he shows the
power OF luminous rays to drive round anu
round little vane when the heat rays are
excluded. being thoroughly sifted out BY
means of scream Of alum With an air.
pump MIR. Cookies first exhausts q tube with
bulb at its end, and in the bulb he mounts
upon delicate pivot little vane of glass
or straw. This vane is made in the form
Of the letter X, and on each of its four
arms Is mounted disc of pith blackened
on one side. As soon as the machine ia
ready 1t is exposed to the sunshine when
Its discs Immediately begin to revolve
around their common axis Just as the plan
cts revolve about the sun in the orrerv
What is the motive force in this beautiful
experiment? 1t is not heat. For. as before
observed, the heat rays are sifted out by the
alum screen without stopping the rotation
Of the machine. The atmosphere and ito
changes have nothing to do with producing
the motion. Professor Osborne REYNOLDS
some time ago suggested that the discs re
volved because there was latent moisture
in them which, being cvaporated in the ex-
pertinent gave a resilient impulse to the
little orrery. To refute this theory, and At
the same time to show that the sole motive
force engaged in driving the orrery was the
luminous rays Of the sun, Mr.. Crookes ex-
hibited machine made wholly Of platinum
which had been heated to redness while
under continuous and absolute exhaustion.
The discs being made of PLATINUM in tesd
of pith, as before, revolved as obediently Is
the discs of pith; inasmuch as they could
contain no appreciable amount Of latent
moisture, the theory Of Professor Reynolds
was, Of course, exploded The final result
Is that light is now acknowledged for the
first time as one Of the mechanical forces.
and such eminent men as Professors Stokes
and Huxley, DR.. Carpenter, Mr. Norman
Lockyer and others, agree that the.demon-
stration was perfect.
Scientists believe that in this fact thew
have found the physical basis Of gravitation,
but the discovery is 50 recent that the sig
nfcance Of the light-force is not yet assigned
nor comprehended.

Familiar spirit, that so graciously
Dost take whatever Fortune may befall,
Trusting thy fragile form to the arms Of all,
And never counting it lndignity
70 Le caressed upon the humbest knee
Thou, having yet no words, aloud dost call
Upon our hearts the fever and the gall
OF our dark bosoms are repressed in thee.
From selfish fears and lawless wishes free,
Thou hast no painful feeling of thy week

From shafts malign and Pride's base agony,
Protected by the pillows of thy meekness.
Thou hast thy little loves which do not grieve
thee,
Unquiet make thee, or unhappy leave thee.

Absorption OF Water by Growing Grain.

NJ. Marie-Davy has been making some
exact measurements of the quantity of wa
ter consumed by grain during its growth.
He found that corn in pots, filed with earth
and watered daily, consumed ], 796 grammes
Of water daily to produce one gramme Of
grain. According to this, yield Of thirty
hectelitres (eighty bushels) of corn per
hectare two fifths of an acre. ould take
up quantity Of water which, along with
the water evaporated, forms q greater total
than the amount of the average rainfall of
Paris Thus the yield of the land is limited
by the amount of water supplied to the
fields. NJ. Marie-Davy, however, points
out that the quantity Of water necessary to
produce given harvest is by no means alb
solute, but depends on the amount of use

can be charged. To q certain extent water
