HOW OLD is NIAGARA?
About $4,000 Years Is the Scientific
Estimate.

About $4,000 Years Is the Scientific
| Estimate.
The Niagara River, which had first
been strait Joining Lake Erie to the
Unitarian gulf. gradually became a
Wide, shallow, rapid stream, and then,
as the waters of the lower lakes SUBJ
sided, its bed narrowed and its fall in
creased TO APO feet says knowledge.
But the river was soon greatly en-
| lafged. The land was rising to tho
north OF Ontario as we'll, and ultimately
the outlet from Lake Huron to the
ottawa Valley was blocked, and the
| surplus waters Of these greatest lakes
howed by their present course to Lake
Erie. and thence to the Niagara River.
With the continued rise of land, espe-
cially toward the east of Ontario, the
water level rose until 1t attained it's
present elevation. and the fall of the
river between the two lakes was re-
duced to the present $50 feet. Can
dates be assigned to thes events? The
first estimate of the age OF Niagara
River was given by Ellicott over a
century ago at 55,4OO years; Blackwell,
1880, gave 10000; Lyell's estimate OF
$4,000 was accepted for many years af-
ter 1871, but recent writer's, using the
mean rates of recession during forty
eight years as determined by surveys,
make the value 5000 years. DR.. Spen-
Ger has made a new and careful COM
putation OF the age Of Niagara River
and falls. He shows that the recent
estimates have not taken into account
the various changes that have occurred
IN the fall and volume Of the river.
His calculations result in value near
ly that of Lyell's.
Or. Spencer believes that Niagara
River was formed 80 900 years ago, and
that 1000 years later the falls were in
existence. For 1920 years their
height was about 200 feet: thereafter
the water fell APO feet. Seven thod-
sand eight hundred years ago the drain
age Of Lakes Superior, Michigan and
Huron first flowed through the Niagara
gorge, and 5000 years ago the waters
rose in Lake Ontario until the level
reached that Of today. The falls, then.
are $1,000 years old. This estimate.
calculated from the rate Of erosion, is
confirmed by another made from the
terrestrial movements-one as to the
past, the other concerning the future.
The lakes came into existence after the
glacial epoch and Niagara after the
lakes, and calculations based on the
mean rate Of rise of the beaches in the
earlier period of the lakes history
show that the close of the ice age may
safely be placed at $4,000 years ago.
AS to the future: With the present
rate OF calculated terrestrial uplift in
the Niagara district, and the rate of re-
cession OF the falls continued, or even
doubled, before the cataract shall have !
reached the Devonian escarpment at !
that limestone barrier shall |
have been raised SO high as to turn the |
waters Of the upper lakes into the |
drainage by way Of Chica-
go. An elevation of sixty feet at the |
outlet of Lake Erie would bring the
rocky floor Of the channel as high as
he Chicago divide, and an elevation of
seventy feet would completely divert
he drainage. This would require 5000
o 5000 years at the estimated rate OF
elevation.
