BED OF THE NIAGARA RIVER
Things Revealed by the Construction
OF Cofferdams on the
Canadian Side.

The recent Canadian hydraulic operations
at Niagara, necessitating the construction
OF immense cofferdams, which have laid
open to view considerable areas of the river
bed. have put us in possession of informa-
ton regarding this part OF the river that
would have been impossible otherwise 10
obtain. In an article contributed TO the
Electrical Review. Alton d. Adams reminds
MS that by far the greater part of the river
finds it's way through the Canadian chan
mel, so that while the American fall has
occasionally been completely dried up by
ice jams in the rapids. thus exposing the
bottom OF the American channel, the
greater depth OF the Canadian channel has
kept its fall in continuous operation He
says:
Mystery hangs over the Canadian chan
mel No bridge spans It. 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 UNEMPLOYED as
when Father Hennepin, In 1919. first saw
that great and prodigious cadence Of
waters which falls down after a surprising
and astonishing manner insomuch that the
universe does not AFFORD its parallel
In its course OF 5000 feet over the cas-
cades above the Horseshoe falls, Niagara
river descends hfty-nve feet. With 229 900
cubic feet per second as the total normal
discharge OF the river, and with 90 per
cent OF this discharge going down the
Canadian channel, the volume there is lse =
700 cubic feet per second. This volume of
water falling nfty-nve feet does work at a
rate OF somewhat more than $40 COO horse
power, or more than twice the ultimate
capacity OF all 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 were exposed to view by the build
ing of cofferdams outside OF the proposed
intake works OF the Ontario Power COM

All hail the blessed morning hour!
Thou herald of the day of power.

O words OF JOY by angels borne
Down TO the shepherds lowly;
PTaising, raising
Up your voices,
Earth rejoices
With all heaven
For the Son to mankind given.
o mortals. tits a God. and yet,
A Son Of man by trials met,
And earthly SORROWS feeling;
BE glad, for He has come to seek
The wretched and the poor and weak.
His love for us revealing,
Nearer, nearer
To the Father
He shall gather
Sons and daughters
Erring by the stagnant waters.
His tears shall for our suffering fall,
His tender spirit help us all
our love and faith increasing;
His hand shall show the open door
And in our cup OF sorrow pour
The balm Of grace uuceasing;
Dying, buying
Every nation
Full salvation
That the spirit
joys eternal may inherit.
He comes for our redemption sent
To palace and to lowly tent
With mercy never hidden;
Our shepherd He will ever be
That we may follow trustfully
And do what He has hidden:
Upward onward
Till the morrow,
Free from sorrow,
When we gather
In His image round the Father.
