Recent Change In Niagara.

One who returns to Niagara af.
ter q long absence notes the mark
ed changes taking place Ia the face
of the cataract. My first visit here
was made in the year 1884. thirty
seven years ago. Then the broad
expanse Of Table Rock was the
platform on which successive thou
sands stood. Many orept softly to
the verge and looked into the
abyss. Others more cautiously lay
on their faces and gazed at the
crystal current as 1t broke into
Jewels and fell in to the stream
from the awful height. Now the
broad platform has fallen and the
work OF undermining Is going still
further on. In forty more years the
present standpoint will be In
the depths below But more
remarkable is the change in the
Horseshoe Fall itself. Then it was
perfect segment of circle, so
nearly like the heel of horseshoe
as to suggest the fitness of its
name. Now vast masses of rock
have been dislodged in the middle
OF the curve, making q sharp and
wide diversion of the current, so
that the torrent pours into mid
way guilt from which the mist rises
constantly. This dees not dimin-
1sh, but perhaps enhances the In
terest of the cataract. 1t breaks
tie circuit, destroys the perfect
symmetry Of the curve. It proves
that the recession of the fall is 90,
ing on with far greater force than
Mr.. Lyell and his brethren In ge-
oI0gy calculated when they cup
posed they had estimated the ages
by the progress backward on the
verge Of Niagara. If In half the
lifetime of u modern man such
changes have occurred, what may
not have been wrought by these
mighty forces of nature In 5000
vsars?-Rev. Lraenus Prime.
