THE DIMINISHING FALLS.
Niagara Not What II once Mas-Iu
mense Power Canals Detract
from Its Mngnilcence.

People who saw Niagara falls long
ago witnessed a greater flow Of water
than will ever again be seen at the ia
nous cataract. The most stupendous
spectacle Of its kind on earth is grad
ually growing less tremendous, though
the change is not yet apparent to the
eye, says the Cleveland Leader.
Two companies are pushing forward
work on the immense power canals on
the Canadian bank Of the Niagara, and
the success Of the completed enterprise
OF like nature on the American side,
leaves no room for doubt that the ca
nails Will all be utilized to the utmost.
II is calculated that this drain on the
Niagara Will take about p per cent.
altogether, Of the water in the great
river. That large proportion will be
diverted from the falls and will be dis
charged into the deep gorge below
them. at various points and in such a
way that the scenic effect Of the water
so used will be very small. OF
course, the depth and weight OF the
flood poured over the rock cliff which
makes the name Of Niagara famous
throughout the world will be seriously
diminished.
However. the rapids between the
falls and Lake Ontario viii receive the
full volume OF the rivers natural cur
rent They will continue to be one Of
the most splendid spectacles Of the
world. and there will be no impair
ment Of their force and grandeur. Nor
viii the Niagara cataract itself ever
be less than sublime.
