NIAGARA,s OVERFLOW.
The Volume OF Water ut the Falls
Greater the Last Year Than
for q Decade Past.

Authorities on the river condition at
Niagara Falls state that In IL years the
channels of the great stream have not
been so well filed continuously as dur
Ing this year. Connecting, as 1t does,
Lake Erie with Lake Ontario, the Mag
ara river forms a good pulse to the rise
and fall Of waters in the great upper
lakes. The Niagara receives its supply
of water from Lake Erie at Buffalo. and
when the lake is high the flow into and
down the river Is increased In volume,
and when the lake is low the opposite
condition exists. AS the Niagara Is car
rying an unusual amount Of water this
year, 1t is evident that the overflow Of
Lake Erie Is more abundant than 1t has
been for some years.
These water conditions In such .
stream as the Niagara are most interest
ing. They tell Of an abundance Of water
for navigation purposes on the great
lakes, and Immediately at Niagara they
preserve the scenic beauty Of the falls Of
Niagara, which it has been feared by
some were destined to be eradicated by
the power Development. Never since the
extensive development Of power at Mag
ara has there been any noticeable differ
ence In the dow of the river at the falls
caused by the diversion Of waters for the
operations Of the turbines, and this year,
especially, there is q bountiful supply
for all purposes.
Old river men state that the waters in
the Niagara fiuctuate to considerable
degree every seven years, but not since
1892 has the river been 90 high. It is
said that for seven years the waters re-
coded, and then another seven years is
consumed In rising to the normal stage.
OF course, heavy rainfalls may change
the col ditions, and 1t 10 equally plain
that the melting SHOWS Of winter time

which supplies the Niagara have their
influence on the height of the water. 1t
may be easy to believe that with the high
water this year the river IN apt to be

years, and when this occurs. which will

On July %, 1865, he made an address to

were heirs Of noble heritage. Re

After briefly setting forth some Of the

Then he told the story Of the Boston

ANTIQUITY OF SMALLPOX.
Arab Historians Trace the Disease
Back to the elephant War;"
A. ID. 560.

The literary as well as the pathologic
history of smallpox presents many
items of special interest, says American
Medicine. All readers Of the clouded an
nails of the middle ages are acquainted
with the fact that Arabian writer's were
for many centuries the recognized apos-
ties of philosophy and physical science
including the sundry departments OF
medicine and surgery-to the various
nations Of western Europe. And it il
to one of these, Abu Becker Mahommed
ben Zechariah "a. D. S50-932). the earli-
est and most original of all the great
Moslem physicians, that medical sci
ence and medical literature are indebt-
ed for the first recognition of smallpox
as a distinct disease. and its first de-
scription in written language. This
venerable authority Is generally known
to posterity as Rhazes, q name which he
derived from Raj. the place Of his
birth.
His original description Of this
formidable disease has been made famil-
lar to English inQuirers through the
medium Of DIR. Greenhill's translation.
In addition to his observations on dis
ease proper. the powers Of observation
Of Rhazes in physiognomy are demon
strated by such items of information as:
"A man with large ears Is stupid. but
long lived:" and in rational therapeu-
tics by his recommendation Of the prac-
tice Of the game Of chess ~ q cure for
melancholy. The antiquity Of smallpox

ment has been made by Arab historians

In the course Of the so-called elephant

Is given AZ follows by one Of their best
historians, Tabari:
"Thereupon came the birds Of the sea

and they threw stones upon them.
Wherever one Of these stones struck
there arose an evil wound and pustulea

appeared and the bitter trees. The
stones undid them wholly. Thereafter
God sent torrent which carried them
away and swept them into the sea" Is

plants which also appeared at that date
