miracles as half a dozen centuries in

matched eight years ago. or twenty-five.
or at any other time.
1t is a happy thought of Buffalo to in

while she has them. They will not last
very long. Even if they were left to
themselves they would probably wear
away and disappear within the next ten
or fifteen thousand years, but industrial
enterprise is not likely TO let us keep
them even as long as that. Within the
next half century the Niagara river may
be all running through a double row of
electric power tunnels. leaving nothing
but dry cliff where now the cataract
surges. So all should hasten to Buffalo
