Describing the conditions at the Falls,
Orrin E. Dunlap, in the Scientific Amc-

16, 1909, an east wind blew up Lake
Erie and drove the water far back up
the lake, greatly reducing the amount
which it was possible for the lake to
discharge into the Niagara river chan
mel. This condition lasted for long
er period than ever before known; and
the failure of Lake Erie to discharge
its accustomed flow into the river chan
mel, combined with great fields of Ice
previously carried down toward the
Falls and left to settle on bars and
