Expert Says TO Develop More Would
Mean to Destroy Natures Work.

Washington, Feb. 20.--Dr. W. u.
! Spencer, the British scientist who
was commissioned by the geological
survey of Canada to make ain in
yestigation OF the Niagara Falls pro-
blem, discussed to-day In a most In
teresting manner the effect Of the
utilization of its waters by power
plants upon the scenic beauty of that
natural wonder.
At the instance of the American
Civic Federation DR.. Spencer has APP
peared before the house Rivers and
Harbors Cmmittee and presented
facts and figures to show what effect
the request of the Ontario Power Co.,
for power franchise, to develop.
which would require forty thousand
cubic feet of water per second, would
have on the falls.
II was contended by DR.. Spencer
that this request was for from twen-
ty to twenty-five per cent OF the
discharge of Niagara river and would
greatly impair the characteristics
OF the whirlpool rapids, lower the
river bed up to the falls, break up
the surface rock at the foot of the
American falls and Goat. island, and
thereby cause q more rapid recession
of the Horse Shoe.
AS tne DeBluning or Cn9Se rapids
is marked by rim over which the
flow Of water is already very thin
upon the eastern half" said DR..
Spencer to-day, ''the diversion of the
water will drain that portion of the
upper rapids with the effect OF de-
etroying about eight hundred feet OF
the eastern side of the great Horse
Shoe and breaking up the American
falls into separated streams. BY
this shrinkage OF the water, the to-
tai length of both falls will be con-
tracted from nearly four thousand
feet to, say, sixteen hundred feet,
and the diameter of the great fall
from twelve hundred to eight hum
dred feet. This diversion of the wa
ter Will produce a shrinkage of the
Horse Shoe, so that what remains
will be entirely on the Canadian side
of the boundary line.
"On, account of the lowering OF the
water in the basin above the upper
rapids, 1t will increase the slope of
the river 30 that the surface of Lake
Erie will be lowered by three feet

lose two in patronage from the mer-
chants who have suffered from their
operations.
The editors of the state cannot con-
stitute themselves their brothers
keepers in matters OF this kind with
out subjecting themselves to consider
able unfrlendly and unjust criticism.
Business men who don't know any
better than to be "taken in" by ad
vertising 'sfakes'' are not. as a rule,
very liberal supporters of their home
papers or very appreciative of their
real value as advertising mediums.
The advertising value of creditable
special editions of home papers can
hardly be overestimated. while the
value of the average business or per-
sonal "wrlte up in distant paper,
whatever may be it's home circulation
or influence, can hardly be uDderes-
timated. But if man hungers for
this sort of advertising, why should
the editor who works like a galley
slave ev cry day in the year for the
benefit of his home town and county
endeavor to keep him from indulgiDg
himself in this manner? 1t is pre-
sumably his own money that he
"blows in'' and why not let him
"blow' it. If he thinks it is "bread
cast upon the waters he can possibly
derive some comfort by sitting down
and watching for it to 'return after
many days. As for the money. it
is almost certain to be put into use
full circulation in course of time.
