II seems almost incredible that at
one time in its history the greatest
and most wonderful waterfall IN the
world actually ran dry. Nevertheless
II is an established fact that this oc-
Cured on March 80, 1913, and for a
few hours scarcely any water passed
over Niagara falls.
To thoroughly appreciate this as
tonishing phenomenon 1t should be
remembered that the estimated aver
age amount of water passing over
these falls is 502, 800 tons per minute.
The winter OF that year had boen
an exceptionally severe one, aud Ice of
unusual thickness had formed on Lake
Erie. The warm spring rains loosened
this CONCEALED mass, and ON the day
In question a brisk east wind drove
the Ice far up into the lake. About
sunset the wind suddenly veered
around and blew a heavy gale from
the west. This naturally turned the

SO closely was II packed and so
great was Its force that in short time
the outlet to the lake was completely
choked up, and little or no water
could possibly escape. In very short
space of time the water below this
frozen barrier passed over tho falls,
aud tho next morning the people ro-
siding In tho neighborhood were treat

The roaring, tumbling rapids above
the falls were almost obliierated, and
nothing but the cold black rocks were
visible In all directions. Tho news

banks on each side of the river being

Senator Sherman's estimate Of the
venality of the masses is the natural
elimination of the disease from which
his party is neutrality-suspicious..
Ii is but another expression of the
celebrated sentiment expressed by his
fellow Senator, Jno, ]. ingalls,; that
the morality of the means of success
In politics is not matter of consider
alton. If it were truth that a COM
binatIon of capitalists could shape
political destiny by purchasing the
representatives OF the people-the act
of purchase could produce no greater
calamity than the state of its possibility.
But there is nothing in the history OF
the American people that evidences
such a truth. There is everything to
refute it. Here and there we find
isolated practices of corruption.

very hypothesis which Senator Sher-
man entertains was tested in fact 10
the elections of 1874 and 1890. And
in each instance the holding over Re-

tons have vainly essayed to thwart
the will of the electors by force bills.

RIVER COMMISSION RESUME.

T. B. COmstock arrived in the city. aud

President of the United States Missls-
sippi River Commission, with head
quarters in New York, aud is not here
for Slardi Gras. Gen. ComstOck was
found at his hotel tonight and was
interviewed by a Southern Press News
Association reporter.
~The Commission met during the
latter part of November aud the early
part of December he said, ~and at
those meetings we considered the river
improvement work in all its details
and mapped out our course. In
accordance with this We have begun
work, and it is now in active process
of completion, except where the water
is high. am not here for the Mardi
Gras and will leave here tomorrow,
although | should enjoy remaining
during the carnival. am on my way
to Sabine Pass, where | called a meet
ing OF the District Board to be held
next Tuesday. A considerable AMOUNT
of work has been done there, and ii is
now going on as rapidly as we can
push it. The work that has been aud
Is now being done on the river isvery
liberal to Louisiana. We have devoted
large amount Of time and work on
the levees of this State, and the end Is
not yet, for we are going to do more.
"At Greenville, Miss, there is big
loup in the course ofth river, and the
Commission has now under careful
consideration the best aud most sue
cessful methods of preventing the river
from cutting away the neck Of land
that is inclosed by the loup in the river.
We will shortly proceed to adopt a
line of work that will be successful in
accomplishing this object, although we
are working on 1t now to a great
extent. improvements are also being
made on the Red River aud at Plum
Point ln addition TO this we have
contracted for great deal of Louisi-
ana leveo work to be done at once.'
"General, what do you think will
become of the bill introduced in Con
gress providing for $l0,000,OO0
appropriation for the Improvement of
the levees?'
"That is question that | cannot
answer. The bill was introduced sim
ultaneously in the House aud the Sem
ate, and was referred to the House
Committee on Lcvees. Since that time
the Committee has summoned num-
Der OF the members of the Commission
to give testimony as to the merits of
the scheme. The House will probably
act in accordancs with the report Of
the committee, although that Is not
certain either. AT any rate the session
now Is short aud it is matter of
grave doubt whether the bill will be
finally acted upon at this session. Even
should II DO pushed II will be difficult
to get through on account Of the late
ness In the term.r
