The Age of Niagara Fails.

The age OF Niagara Falls has been un-
der the consideration of scientists for
many years Mr.. Bakewell, an eminent
English geologist, gave personal attention
to the problem 81 early as 1880, and, from
everything he ceuld learn at that time,
estimated that the falls had receded
about 100 feet In the forty years preeed
Ing He required 20 the problem again in
1s40, and 1851 and 1856, and was each
hoe confirmed Ia the belief that the
apex Of the horseshoe fall was recedipg
on an average, three feet year. On
the other hand, Sir Charles Lyell, upon
his first visit in 1sE., conceived that at
the almost the rate could not be more than
one foot year, which would give us 35,-
0o0 years as the minimum time. But it
appears the result of the recent survey is
to confirm the estim ate of Mr.. Blackwell,
thus bringing the period down to about

The odor of pure perspiration is not nn-

waste matter from the blood-do not duly
perform their function, their work Is at

odoris generally given to the perspiration.
Even in these cases, the odor Is produced
mainly after the perspiration has been ao-
sorbed by the clothing.
This last fact is generally true of the bad
odor which is associated with the exces-
sive perspration of the feet of some peo-
pie Dr. George Thin, of England, mas
been investigating the matter, and has

To prevent the odor from getting INTO
