Recent Changes in Niagara.

Biologists assert that ages have
elapsed since the cataract of Niagara be-
gan to retreat towards its present position
But the following facts show that they
have not made allowance for the rapid
ity with which the waters wear away their
rocky dam. Says the Rev. DR.. Prime of
the New York Observer:
One who returns to Niagara after a
long absence notes the marked changes
taking place in the face of the cataract.
My first visit here was made in the year
1874, thirty-seven years ago,
Then the broad expanse of Table Rock
was the platform on which successive
thousands stood. Many crept softly to
the verge and looked into the abyss.
Others more cautiously lay on their
faces and gazed at the crystal current as
it broke into jewels and fell in a stream
from the awful height.
Now the broad platform has fallen,
and the work of undermining is going
still further on. In forty years more
the present stand point will be in the
depths below.
But more remarkable. IS the change of
the shape of the Horseshoe Fall itself.
Then it was perfect segment of cir

sion Of the current, so that the torrent
pours into midway gulf from which
the mist rises constantly. 81
This does not diminish, but perhaps en-
hances, the interest of the cataract. It
breaks the circuit, destroys the perfect
symmetry of the curve
it proves that the recession of the
fall is going on with far greater force
than Mr.. Lyen and his brethren in se-
ology, calculated when they suppos, d
they had estimated the ages by the prog
ress upstream Of the verge of Niagara.
If in half the lifetime of modern man
such changes have occurred, what may
not have been wrought by these mighty
forces of nature in {, 1000 years?

Burial of Suicides.

Novelists of the blood-and- thunder
school have lost a point through the
passage ofthe British House of Com
mons of a very sensible bill engineered
by Viscount Burlington, the member for
Tiverton, which forbids the burial of
suicides at the crossing of four roads
with stake driven through the body,
according to an old custom. Under the
new statute the bodies of suicides are
allowed to be buried in consecrated
ground, but at night, and no service is
to be read over the remains. 1T may not
be generally known says the New York
World, "that the new penal code of the
state, which takes effect December l,
makes everyrinefect attempt at sui

whether the new provision will tend to

no doubts are entertained as to the manner
