A Dry Niagara

It seems almost incredible that nc
one time in its history the greatest
and most wonderful waterfall in the
world actually ran dry. Nevertheless
it is an established fact that this oc-
cured on March 20, 1884, and for q
Few hours scarcely any water passed
over Niagara falls.
To thoroughly appreciate this as
tonishing phenomenon it should be
remembered that the estimated aver
age amount of water passing over
these falls is 500, 500 tons per minute.
The winter of that year had been
an exceptionally severe one, and ice
Of unusual thicknest had formed on
Lake Erie. The warm spring rains
loosened this CONCEALED mass. and
on the day in question q brisk east
wind drove the ice far up into the
lake. About sunset the wind sudden
" veered around and blew q heavy
gale from the west. This naturally
turned the ice in it's course, and bring
ing it down to the mouth of Niagara
river piled it up in solid, impene-
trable wall.
So closely was it packed and so
great was it's force that in a short
time the outlet to the lake was CON-
pletely choked up, and little or no
water could possible escape. In a
very short space of time the water
below this frozen barrier passed over
the falls, ana the next morning the
people residing in the next neighbour
hood were treated to O most extra
ordinary spectacle.
Theroaring, tumbling rapids above
the tails were almost obliterated, and
nothing but the cold black rocks
were visible in all directions. The
news quickly spread and crowds of
spectators focked to view the scene,
the banks on each side of the river
being lined with people during the
whole day. At last there came a
break in the ice, it was released from
it's restraint, the bent up walls Of
waters rushed downward and Nj
agara was itselfagain. Golden Days.
