both falls will be contracted from near
ly 1000 feet to say 1000 feet and the
diameter of the great fall from 1,200 to
SEQ feet This diversion of the water
will produce shrinkage of the horse
shoe, SO that what remains will be en-
tirely on the Caadian side of the boun-
dairy line
'On account of the lowering of the
water in the basin above the upper
rapids it will increase the slope of the
river SO that the surface of Lake Erie
will be lowered by three feet. Again.
the lowering Of Lake Erie will in the
same manner lower Lakes Huron and
Michigan. Already with a partial use
Lake Erie has been lowered ten inches,
but this is not apparent to the superb
cial observer owing to the high water
which has prevailed during the last
four years and especially the last two
years.
But this condition cannot be expect
ed to continue. This amount Of lower
ing is partly due to the Chicago canal,
which at present is taking 5000 cubic
feet a second, or about half what il is
allowed. In connection with the ,aicu-
lations for repairing the harbors and
canals damaged the United States en-
gineers calculated that to increase the
depth even one foot would cost over
S12,000,O00."

Effect of Chicago Canal.

DR.. j. w. Spencer, the British scient-
list, who was commissioned by the geo.
logical survey of Canada to make an
investigation of the Niagara Falls prob
lem, discussed in an interesting manner
the effect of the utilization of its water
by power plants upon the scenic beauty
of that natural wonder, At the in
stance of the American Civic Associa-
ton Or. Spencer appeared before the
House rivers and harbors committee
and presented facts and figures to show
what effect the request Of the Ontario
Power Company for franchise to use
10000 cubic feet of water per second
would have on the falls.
1t was contended by DIR. Spencer
that this is from 20 to % per cent of
the discharge of Niagara river and it
would greatly impair the characters

river bed up to the falls, break up the

To Farm for Basket willows.

To add willows, for the making of
baskets. TO the list of agricultural
products Of the country, is the purpose
of a new move by Uncle Sans forestry
service. So writes Renie Bache IN the
Technical World Magazine. A small
plantation at Arlington. across the Po-
tomae from the city of Washington.
has been established for tie growing
of a number of different species of
basket willows; and considerable guam
titles of the osier rods thus produced
have been made up into most excellent
baskets by manufacturers in Balti-
more.
Baltimore is a somewhat important
center for the manufacture of fine bas-
kets, the raw material for which is al
most wholly supplied by Willows grow
ers in the vicinity. One might say the
same thing of Richmond, where there
is a great baskes-making establishment
which raises its own osiers; and an,
other such town is York, Pa. which is
in the midst of willow growing dis
trict. These cities. with plentiful sup
plies of osiers near at hand. are able
TO ship highgrade baskets all over the

Often a clock will refuse to run
merely because it is clogged with dust
A very simple way to clean a clock
is to place piece of cotton or a small
sponge soaked in kerosene in the bot
tom of it and let stand a few hours.
The sponge will gradually be filled with
the dust from the works, and when
the clock is again started it will gem
orally run without further difficulty.
If your nickel-plated alarm clock
refuses to run, as it will be apt to do
after it has been III use year or so,
it may be cleaned in the following way :
Take stiff feather-one from the wing
of chicken is excellent-and dip it in
kerosene oil. Then insert it in the
circle around the winding keys and the
keys that move the hands to remove
the dust. Wind the clock and let it
run few days, and then apply a tiny
drop of sewing machine oil from the
can to each of the winding keys.
