Niagara Falls In Winter.

The great German illustrated periodical,
Ueber Land und Nicer. in it's eighth monthly
part for the year 1s94-5, just issued publishes
very fine half-tone engraving, executed by. the
bye in Chicago, of the American Falls at Niagara
from Goat Island, with the following descrip-
ton:
The great American cataract, whose more
than fifteen million horsepower mechanical
energy will hencefOrth be industrially use
full, has peculiarly imposing majesty of
its own in striking contrast to any Of the
waterfalls of 3 Europe. Notwithstanding
several in Switzerland and California excel
Niagara i'm height, yet their volume is so
inconsiderable that parallel is impossible.
Most travellers look out at Niagara from
the Michigan Central Railroad train, which,
on its way from New York to Chicago, stops
for five minutes at a place on the steep
heights of the Canada side whence there is
direct view of the whole falls and rapids;
but the view is so very pleasing and the
extent of the panorama of the falls is so
great that details distract the attention and
one is deceived in regard to the real gran
deur of the scene. But when the traveller
alights from the train he sees the mighty
stream whirling along as it hurls itself down
from heaven with earth-shaking thunder
shocks that drown human utterance.
The charms of Niagara in its winter
Rarb are as varied as under the blue sky or
summer and even more enhancing as the
clear emerald green is not so constantly
present in the falling waters which change
their colors to other hues. The spray per-
petually rising from the abyss is transformed
into countless wonderfully beautiful crystal
izations. The rocky sides of the deep gorge
are hung with gigantic lcicles often more
than hundred feet long, and the forma-
ton on the precipce are like gothic sculp-
lures in white marble. On the rocks at the
| foot of the falls ice mountains are formed,
and with protracted severe cold rise nearly
| to the top of the falls themselves. BY the
beginning of spring there will sometimes be
| found under these ice mountains extensive
caverns glistening with crystal stalactites
and stalagmites.
