lcan side. 1t is only the action of the
current that carries to the shores of the
Dominion the legacy of death.
The American park commissioners con-
cede the justice of the Canadian argIl-
ment. but declare that without some JUS
tificatfon from Congress they have not
the power to spend the money of the
nation in this fashion. and insist that the
bodies ought to be buried wherever they
found.
1t is said that the Queen Victoria
park commission Is so determined to get
an adjustment of the matter that the
provincial parliament will consider it,
For the American side Of the contention
1T is argued that the precise point from
which the suicide takes his leave
of the cares and joys of life is not
material. 1t certainly cannot be said
so prove the American citizenship Of
those who go the way of death.
1t simply suggests what is known to
be the fact that the river is much more
easy Of access from the American than
the Canadian side. and while it is not
difficult to appreciate the annoyance of
the Canadian commissioners at the per-
sistency with which the bodies insist on
drifting into their Jurisdiction this is a
circumstance for which there is no ap-
parent remedy.
But as result of the argument a
greater effort is being made to watch
closely those who make the visit to the
falls
Naturally nothing can he done to keep
the public away from the points of van
tage in which they are especially inter
ested.
1t has long been one of the charms Of
the manner in which the two nations
have guarded Niagara that 1t is possi-
bic to get to the very edge Of the falls.
and standing within three or four feet
of the edge to marvel at the onrushing
floods of water as they take their descent
for the decentralization jump to the
gully below
To increase these restrictions. to put
up barriers, would be hardship on thou
sands of persons who visit the falls yearly
To most Americans there is no place
comparable with Niagara. It is the great
American nature wonder. Here it is pos
sipie as at no other place on the Amer
lcan continent to sink ones own identity
TO appreciate haw trivial is man. how mar
Neious the forces of nature.
Although 1t may possess the suicide
mania for small percentage Of unfor-
tunates. to the great ma jority Niagara is
lulnng. IL Is comfort, it Is a Temporary
surcease from troubles that seem small
when brought into the presence of this
wonderful work Of nature
To put the average visitor any farther
away from the points where he can GET
the best view would be a hardship.
But many of the suicides show i'm an
pearance in their rapt manner NJ in
specting the rocky SUBMITS, instincts Of
the purpose they have in mind Already
the guards have instructions to watch for
this type, and the efforts will be in
creased.

lions OF suicides. Some Of them go out

United States and Canada Debate Over Burial of NIAGARA S
THAT unaccoIntable but admitted

~ HAT unaccoIntable but admitted
allurement that the rushing waters
of Niagara Falls exert over those
who have suicidal inclinations has raised
a controversy between the United States
and Canada.
Who shall pay for the burial of sui
cldes who go to eternity by way of a
leap over the Drinks that are so easily
reached.
Enough of these suicides take place
every year to make the matter one that
needs to be dealt with. A large number
of those taking their own lives are iden-
tified by clothing or by letters, but the
plunge is So great, the rocks numerous
and the churnng. obliterating, destroying
effect OF the countless tons of water in
motion at a terrific speed so great, that
in most cases IL is very difficult to assure
true naturalization.
Moreover suicides, many Of them, are
crafty.
More than one person drawn by the
aweSome fascination of Niagara as the
ideal place for a leave taking from the
world has journeyed across the CONT
nent at big expense.
Such a deliberate suicide can readily
remove every mark that might lead to
Identification. and for that reason an
unusual percentage of the suicides found

q sort of beaten track.
1t is as though the waters of the rush
ing flood welcoming the coming of new
victims lead them through the path taken
before by so many others.
When the authorities learn of a suicide
they first go to one place. the landing
where the little boat, the Maid of the
Mist comes in and goes out on its trips,
and in almost every case the battered,
swollen body will be found there.
Those which do not stop here go on
through the rapids and bring UP further
down the stream In the vortex of the
whirlpool.
Both of these points. the Maid of the
Mist landing and the whirlpool, are on
the Canadian side. Hence the Queen Vic

the river front all the way from Lake
Erie to Lake Ontario, has been in the
habit Of bringing these melancholy dere-

THAT are the disgusting thing about
being a Genius say Wilburd with
lawsuit voice, you no more sooner
discover something than everybody
else think he saw 1t first. This are not
only true about airy navigation. It are
true about nearly everything. Look at
Chris Columbus. He go through all that
trouble discovering America, but before

trademark on everything. Same with
Hon. VIM. Jenny Bryan who discover the

But who got credit for this discovery?

would you rather perform in front Of:

suggest.
