Power of Niagara.

What makes Niagara falls power
possible is the fact that Lake Superior.
Lake Michigan. Lake Huron and Lake
Erie. with Il combined area Of 10000
square miles. representing the reSer-
voirS of some 100000 square miles OF
watershed. are situated COO feet above
the sen level. The great volume of wa
ter falling over the vast territory flows
ON its natural course 10 the Atlantic
ocean with hut slight descent until
IL Is brought into the narrow Niagara
river. when. In the rapids just above
The falls, il declines fifty feet and
then. with 81 single plunge. drops into
the abyss To- feet below. Eminent en-
giueerS have computed that 10000 Gu
bic feet OF water pass over the falls
every second, representing i'm theoroj-
zeal energy over 6,OOo0Oo horsepower.
