THE BED OF NIAGARA.
"A Chance at Last to Examine the BOT
tom Of the Canadian Channel

From the Electrical Review
Mystery hangs over the Canadian chan
mel. No bridge spans 1t. No boat has ever
crossed 1t. None of the MANY unfortunates
that have made Its fatal descent has re-
turned to describe its breakers Today its
greater portion remains as unexplored as
when Father Hennepin in 1879, first saw
that great and prod gious cadence OF waters
which falls down after surprising and as
tonishing manner, insomuch that the uni
verse does not afford Its parallel.
In its course Of 5000 feet over the cas-
cades above the Horseshoe Falls, Niagara
river descends fifty-f1ve feet. With 222 600
cubic feet per second as the total normal
discharge OF the river, and with ninety per
cent Of this discharge go ng down the Ca
madam mac channel, the volume there is 1885,
500 cubic feet per second. This volume of
water falling f1fty-five feet does work at
rate of somewhat more than 100000
horsepower, or more than twice the ulti-
mate capacity of sall the electric plants
under construction about the falls.
This great power is expended in break
ing and grinding up the hard limestone of
the river bed. Results of this work of the
water We're exposed to view by the building
of coffer-dams outside of the proposed in
take works of the Ontario Power Company
at the Dufferin Islands and Of the Electro
cal Development Company, a little farther
DOWN stream, near the shore or Queen Vic
toria Park. BY the cofferdam of the former
company some twenty acres and by that of
the latter company, about twelve acres of
the river bed were for the first time laid
bare to the view of man. Not only was the
bedrock found to be much assured and
worn into peculiar hummocks and pot -holes
but great fragments Of the limestone
ledge, measuring one to several yards in
each dimension, were found loose on the
I bottom. This quarrying by the water in
the river bed is pushing the rapids as
well as the falls back toward Lake Erie.
From the head of Niagara river. Al Buff
falo, to within mile of the falls the
deepest part of the channel has about
twenty feet of water. In order to con-
struct its works, the Electrical Develop
ment Company carried crib cofferdam
with a length OF 215O feet out into the
river to a distance of more than 500 feet
from the natural shore line in Queen Vic
toria Park Near Its outermost part this
cofferdam reached a depth OF twenty-four
feet of water and bedrock level Of Sis
feet above tide. At this point the surface
level Of the river was thus about $50 feet
and the locati was between the first and
the second cascade. Below this cascade
about 40 feet from the or ginal shore line
the depth of water was nineteen feet So
strong was the current between the two
points just mentioned that 1t was found
necessary to give the stone and timber
cofferdam total thickness of forty feet
with six feet of clay puddle in between its
two sections. AT various points off the
shore of Queen Victoria Park the velocity
OF the river current was found to be eight
TO seventeen feet per second.

Christmas Trees by the Million.


Nurserymen grow large quantities of Nor
way spruce for Christmas uses-rather more
in the middle west. where conifers are not
common in the woods, than on the east
ern and western coasts, where they fringe
every hillside. But the tree most commonly
used In Chicago and neighboring cities Is a
short-needle pine found in the woods of
northern Michigan and Wisconsin. EARLY
in September the Indians about the lumber
camps of this region are set to- work cut
ting these trees for the market, and by
early November little fleet OF vessels
makes It's way down Lake Michigan, a
Christmas tree hauled to the foremost Of
every one. that by this Sign all may know
that in their holds is cargo which might
not tempt Captain Kidd, but is far more
precious than many q one for which good
ships have been scuttled.

Of the Christmas celebration Is much less
universal than In the east New York alone

loads. Philadelphia is second with about
100 cars. and Newark, Buffalo, Washington,

from twenty-five to fifty carloads each.

The popularity of wrestling is attested
by the presence in this country of August
Foust, the heavyweight champion Of Ger
many, Greco-Roman style, and Andrew
Avory. the French Greco Roman heavy
weight. Foust, realizing that his oppor-
tunity is here as long as the vogue for
wrestling lasts, Is preparing to take UP his
residence with US, while Avory is here for
an extended tour through the states and
Canada. Hackenschmidt success last
winter opened the eyes of the continental
wrestlers to the new worlds monetary
possibilities for them to extent not
known since the days of Muldoon and his
immediate successor, Ernest Rober.
One of the causes of the wrestling vogue
Is undoubtedly to be found in the status of
pugilism before the law. 1t is an outlawed
sport In most states; therefore, the public
turns to the mat for the excitement 1t
Graves through physical contests. Then,
too, more laymen understand the points of
wrestling than ever before in the history Of
the sport. This is the unanimous opinion
of wrestlers and physical culture pro
fessors." and the attendance at bouts and
the evident ability of the average spectator
to follow contest and appreciate its most
subtle points would seem to back up the
statement
1t is fact that there seems to be de-
cided fad on the part of great many per-
sons to learn something of the art of wres-
Ting through actual experience. AS RS
suit. the physical culture schools and gym
nosiums are filled with business men and
others. being instructed in the different
holds and footwork of catch-as-c ca tch-can.
Even men who have been partial to physi-
cal culture exercises since the beginning OF
It's vogue are taking up wrestling. Well
they may, for no other form of physical ef-
fort Is so likely to develop all-around phys
ical well-being as wrestling, which Impartial
~ bestows on Its amateur devotee muscular
speed. strength and endurance-three quail
tiles that are greatly needed in these days
of strenuous living.
On the whole. wrestling Is a cleaner sport
than It has been for years, though some
fake bouts are undoubtedly pulled off still.
Here. then, is another cause of its recru-
descence. with prices for seats at the big
matches ranging from 81 for the poorest to
$50 for ringside seats. In view of these fig
ures, it is not to be wondered at that there
is rush on the part of the best amateurs
all over this country and Canada, where the
art has also got its second wind, to join the
ranks of the professionals and secure some
of the golden shower for themselves.
