Falls Already Ruined.

Niagara falls are already ruined"
says the eminent hydraulic engineer.
Alton d. Adams, in Technical World
Magazine. Already enough water
rights have been granted by New York
state and Canada to divert all the wa.
ter which now, falling over both the
American and the Canadian falls,
makes the great cataract one of the
natural wonders OF the world. If the
capitalists and promoters who now
hold franchises were all to establish
plants, the entire flow of Niagara
river would be diverted into under
ground channels; and the mighty
cliffs over which the torrent now
pours in resistless grandeur would be
left rugged and bald and dry. Mr..
Adams sees small hope in the pro-
posed treaty between the United
States and Great Gritain. He does
not believe that Canada will be a
VIKING party to any treaty which will
cut OF the great income it enjoys from
leasing Niagara power. His plan is
to excavate and deepen the channel
leading to the American fall, which
viii otherwise run dry long before
the Canadian or Horseshoe falls will
be at all affected.

Immigrants in Demand.


A silent but titanic struggle Is now
On between two great economic forces
In this country, says Broughton Bran
denburg> in the Technical World, and
pean immigrant. 1t takes people to
work the thousands of great mills in
the Industrial sections Of the north
and east; and labor that Is cheaper
is in such demand as to be powerfully
attracted. The vast undeveloped
reaches Of the south and west can
not be made to become productive
without population, so that from the
vanguard of the nation builders comes
the unceasing cry of People. people,
more people!" A railroad is imme-
diately interested in the transporta-
ton of people and their belongings
from the eastern centerS Of popula-
ton which are the points of ingress
of European immigrants to the dis
tricts where they are going to make
habitation; but it is more profound
ly interested in permanently estab-
fishing thrifty stock in the fertile
regions which it taps, inasmuch as
every step of progress the settlers
make raises the value Of the railroad
by increasing its business. The trans
continental haul is sufficiently profit
able only to enable the railroads to
hold their own in the sparsely popu-
: lated strip lying between the Missis-
sippi valley and the Pacific coast To
broaden single lines of track into such
great four-track routes as the New
/ ork Central, for instance, it is nee
essary that the railroads traverse as
populous and prosperous a country as
l,ew York state. Every railroad man
knows this; but the public either for
gets it or has never thought of it.
i nat Is why the railroads are the
leaders in the grand battle to wrench
the immigrant out of the hands of
the eastern employing agencies, which
get first call on him when he leaves
Ellis Island, and which have the ad-
vantage Of ready cash instead of glow
ing opportunity to offer him.
