over the rocks hunting for relics and
souvenirs. Great rocks never before
seen are high and dry.
So little water Is flowing over the
American fall that men in high boots
almost could have crossed at the brink.
The extraordinary condition is due to
an ice jam which formed in the shall
low places up the river The ice was
driven from Lake Erie into the en-
trance to the Niagara and lodged in
the shoal water, shutting off the flow
into the American channel
The horse shoe fall is not affected
