SMlt Water Falls.

There are a good many salt cataracts
in existence. They may be found in
Norway, southern Chile and British Co.
lumba, where narrow fiords, or arms
of the sea, are INSTRUCTED by barriers
Of rock. The rising tide flows over and
filters through such reefs into the great
natural reservoirs beyond, but the wa
ter is held back at the ebb until it
breaks over the obstruction in an ire
sistible torrent Most curious of all is
the waterfall at Canoe passage where
the island of Vancouver approaches the
British Columbia mainland. Here the
flood tide from the gulf Of Georgia. to
the southwark, is damned back at a
narrow cleft between two islands until
it pours over in boiling cascade eight
cen feet high. with perhaps double the
volume Of the Rhine. At the turn Of
the tide however, the waters from the
north rush back into the gulf, produc-
ing cascade of equal height and vol
ume This salt water fall actually flows
both ways.
