Agility of Salmon.
Elnbn nnDNNpr0r

The gamey qualities of the salmon
causing him to rate so high with the fly
fisherman are his strength and activity.
One writer says: THE salmon and sword
fish are the fastest swimmers of all forked
tail fishes Another puts his speed at
thirty miles an hour. When ascending
streams he averages from fifteen to TWEEN
to five miles a day, leaping water fails
twelve feet high in his advance. 1t used
to be thought the fish made their big
jumps by bending double and suddenly
strengthening ont, the resistance of the
tail against the water sending him for
ward. But ROW it is known he takes
short, sharp run before his jump. If The
water at the bottom of fall is not deep
enough to permit this he cannot jump,
and leaves the river altogether, as nature
leads them to the head waters always to
spawn. So fish ladders and fish ways
have been constructed in some rivers
otherwise impossible to them.
AS soon as salmon get into fresh water
in the rivers from the sea they have q
frolio, jumping and splashing in all di-
rections. Then again they will roll
lazily around on the surface of the water.
Bat when hooked everything of the ap-
peargnce of laziness vanishes, ard TWEEN
ty-fve pound salmon at the end of a line
will give man battle royal.

Retreat Of Niagara Falls.
SCribner's Magazine.

Although the retreat of the fall is slow,
it will in a very brief time, in the geo
logical sense of that word, lead to certain
momentous consequences. When the
hard layer of Niagara limestone passes
below the bed of the river, the stream wilt
then cut upon rocks OF another cOnstitu-
ton, making for time certain small
falls at higher geological level; but in
the course of ages, much less long than
those which have elapsed since the birth
of this waterfall, the gorge Of the river
will extend up into the basin of Lake
Erie, draining away 4 considerable por-
ton of that fresh water sea.
We shall then, if the continent retains
its present height above the level of the
sea, have another system of cataracts in
the passage between Lake Erie and Lake
Huron, which will also in time be worn
away. Other cataracts will then form at
the exit of Lake Michigan; ard thus the
lower lakes of our great American sys-
te N would be diminished in area, or per-
haps even disappear. At yet later
stage, we may look for diminutioa in the
Gize of Lake Superior. though that basin,
owing to the strong wall which separates
it from tbs lower lakes, is destined 10 en-
dure long after the last named basins
have been diminished or entirely drained
away.
