This fall may have been straight
at one time, but Ghe center of it
seems to have been crumbling
out until now it forms a curve
like q horseshoe.
The contour line of the Ameri-
can Fall is LOGO feet; that of the
Horseshoe Fall ab)ut three times
as great. The great bulk of the
water passes over the Horseshoe.
A few hundred yards below
the Falls, the gorge (for that is
what the ditch is called) is span
ned by steel arch bridge, built
three years ago; this is 1,240 feet
in length, height of floor above
water, 1872 feet; width of floor
way, 46 feet. The arch span
$40 feet is the longest in the
world.
But one who visits Niagara
Falls ana does not take a trolley
ride around the gorge, comes
away without seeing the half of
what trip to Niagara has in
store.
Take a trolley car at Niagara,
this will take you across the big
bridge just below the Falls, giving
you a most excellent opportunity
to view them. When you reach
the Canada side your car takes
YOU up to the Horseshoe Falls.
Here you alight aud walk up to
the railing at the brink, and you
are impressed with the mighty
volume of water plunging over
before you. Now, back into the
car, and you go down along the
gorge close enough to look from
the car down upon the river be-
low, and follow this down seven
miles, crossing on a suspension
bridge, and returning to the
American side. On this side you
return, the railroad track follow
ing close to the waters edge at
the foot of the mighty wall of
rocks. The leaping, plunging,
foaming waters as they seem to
struggle for an outlet from that
crowded channel, leaves an I'M.
preston upon ones mind never
to be effaced. When almost back
to Niagara, the track is cut up
along the side of the great wall
and you gradually find yourself
getting back on the level with the
City and to the point from which
you started.
The cost Of a trolley ride from
Buffalo to Niagara and return is
so cents. From Buffalo to Lew
,iston lend of Gorge rouD So cents
one way or $1.25 round trip.
A dollar added to this expense
will give you a nice trip across
Lake Ontario, and allow you tc
see the city of Toronto.

TO more advantage in October,
when the crops are garnered and
the farmer is willing and anxious
to "take u day off. "
The subjects discussed cover
ed an exceedingly wide ran &c and
the opinions expressed, proved
the speakers to be earnest, pro.
gressive men and women.
The entertainment provided by
the Social and Entertainment
committees was Of such quality,
that appealed with peculiar force
to the visitors, md of a quantity
that left little to be desired.
The absence Of such veteran
workers as Mr.. Samuel Wishart
and family, Mr. Joseph Covalt
and others, was felt by the Con
vention. Disappointmentwasex ex-
pressed by many, too, at the alb
sence of president b. w. Peck,
who was unavoidably detained
elsewhere.
Rev. Shontz, of Cham bersburg,
was the only State worker pres
ent, but he is a host in himself
and filed the place of others who
were neither present on account
ed for. "
Reverends Chambers, West
Grove, Wolf, McCloskey, and
Smith gave valuable aid, and were
listened to with much interest
and profit.
The statistical reports present
ed by various district presidents
show a marked decrease in the
number Of schools and scholars
throughout the County. No
where is this more evident than
in Ayr, this district being one OF
the most populous and only re-
porting two small schools.
The number Of young delegates
was noticeable in the Convention.
Two pupils from the Oakley
Nj. e. school. Messrs. Pittman
and Powell, who travelled, atleasti
forty miles on their wheels over
the worst Of roads, to be present
during Friday S sessions, deserve
honorable mention. Not less was
the effort made by Misses Ritl
and Scrieyer, who were obliged
to start from Buck Valley at ? a
M, in order to be ''in at the estart.
The last session was held IN the
Presbyterian church, and par
took largely of the character of &
love feast. The time had come
for the separation of those who
had been brought together ii
such close relation, by the great
unitier of Sabbath School work
the convention.
Many kind words of apprecia
tion of the Kindness received By
them were spoken by the depart
ing delegates, who went home full
of faith in themselves, their work
aud their fellow-workers Burn
Cabins or Wells Valley viii be the
place of the next Convention.

THE DOCTOR GOT HIS FEE.

sam" Elder told the doctors some pretty good stores the other afternoon at the Massachusetts Medical society dinner about their own profession. From the way his hearers laughed I should think th,. yarns were about all new. One was about an old practition- CT, who. because of advancing years, had relinquished all of his out -of-town practice to his young assistant. One night the older physician was called on by two men in a buggy. one of whom wanted the doctor to come to his house. eight miles away. and attend his wife, who was very ill
 "She will have no one but you. doe tor" said the man.
 Well. I'll go for ten dollars. and not a cent less.'' said the doctor.
 A whispered consultation went on in the carriage. and finally the physician heard a voice say. Better pay the ten. It's a good deal cheaper than burying her.
 And the doctor got his money.-Bos- ton Journal.

SOUTH AFRICAN GOLD.

Not only is gold mining reviving to some extent in the Transvaal, but the deliveries of Riiodesian gold are also greatly increasing. so that British South African gold mining enterprise is, upon the whole, decidedly recover ing. It appears probable that the az gregate receipts of gold from that quarter for the whole of 1901 will range between f1,5Oe.0)0 and f2.0ol 900. Totals such as these fall. Of course. very con- siderably below those attained in 1898 and 1899; but they are none the less of some value as regards the present while they induce strong hopes for the future.-London Engineering.

A chronological record of the impor- tant events in American history would fill good sized book. but there are I few events that bear directly upon the development of the country which will always stand out as the corner stones of Americas material progress
 or course the discovery of America by Columbus in 1492 was the first i'm portant event. for it was absolutely es- sential that we should be discovered before we could do anything else
 Then came the landing of the Pil- grims on Plymouth Rock, in 1920 For tunately for us they did not remain long on the rock. but spread out through New England. promulgat ting the principles of personal rights and re- ligious freedom; the corner stones of Americas moral, ethical and conse- quent material greatness.
 The declaration of independence in l1l6 gave notice to the world that the United States would thereafter be Nation. spelled with a large "N.' and established the union upon a basis which made it's rapid progress possible. up to this time we had been learning to walk. now we stood upon our feet. free and untrammeled and ready to show the world what manner of men SAcR uHoh WtSltIi l!lt age of miracles: the wonderful ad- vancement in the upbuilding influences that have made us the greatest, though the youngest of nations.
 When Robert Fulton's little steamer Clermont puffed and padded up the Hudson in 1897 1t opened up to the dis cerning eye q new era of possibilities.
 Less than a quarter of century later in 1881. the famous De Witt Clinton locomotive, with it's historic train of Concord coaches made It's initial trip over a link in what is now the great New York Central railroad. and marked the beginning of the most phenomenal age of material progress the world has ever known.
 The next greatest event fin this age Of wonders was when the last spike was driven on the Union Pacific railroad, in Utah, in 1869 completing the trans continental railway system which linked ocean to ocean and reduced months of tiresome journeyine to- days of enjoyable travel.
 When the proposition was first made to build a railroad across the continent men said "Impossiblei' That Is a word that modern American enterprise does not credit.
 When Americans Start to build a bal loon route between the earth and Mars. build 1t they will. for they will not un- dertake 1t until they know it can be accomplished.

A NEW FORMATION.

While drifting in the company work ing of the Ana conda for the Asmussen vein. the miners broke Into a badly shattered ground. Sand, pebbles and rock. such as are common to water course, commenced sliding into the workings, and the men were promptly withdrawn by the superintendent. As 1t would be dangerous as well as costly work to attempt to catch up this ground. it has been decided to crosscut around the spot. It was at first be- lieved that pig chimney of ore had been disclosed; but a test of the slide matter gave only small gold values.
