Only a Tiny Rivulet Flowing on the
American Side-Third Instance Of
the Kind in History.

Niagara Falls. y. Y. Feb 14.-Only
tiny rivulet. not deep or swift enough
to carry pulp log over the brink, is
flowing over the American side of Nj
agara Falls. A strong northeast wind
which has blown since Friday has held
back the water and allowed the ice to
gain a foothoid. Two employees of the
American reservation walked from
Prospect point nearly to Bath island
this morning.
A great wall of ice runs from the head
of Goat island to the American main
land, through which only tiny streams
are able to triclSle. This wall has even
encroached on the Canadian channel.
extending some 200 feet beyond the
Third Sister island and greatly dimin-
ishinE the flow over the Horseshoe.
Onlr the very apex of the Canadian
falls is left, and that is robbed of half
of its flow. The gorge below Is choked
and the rapids have lost their fury.
while the whirlpool is barely in motion.
This is only ths third time that this
combination OF wind and ice has thus
affected the falls since the white man
came here.
