The Roar Of its Mighty Waters Once
Stiiied For a Day.

The Roar of itS Mighty Waters Once
Stiiisd For a Day.
Only once in history has the roar Of
the mighty falls Of Niagara been ST.
Ienced- This startling phenomenon &C.
CURED on March 81. 1S4S. Early on
that morning people living near the
falls were surprised by a strange hush.
as startling in effect as would be an
unexpected and tremendous explosion
in an ordinarily quiet community.
Many persons thought they had been
afflicted with deafness. and all were
oppressed by a sensation of dread.
With the coming Of light the amazed
people comprehended the reason for
the disquieting silence. Where they
were used to seeing the great falls was
a bare precipice down the face of which
few small and constantly diminishing
streams trickled. Above the falls, in
stead OF a rushing river, was only a
naked channel. with insignificant
brooks splaShing among the rocks. All
day long this astounding condition con-
tnued, and persons walked. dryshod
from the Canadian side. along the very
edge Of the prectpice, as far as Goat
island. on the American side
Early in the morning of April l the
familiar thunder Of the great cataract
was again heard and has never since
been silent. though similar conditions,
with like results. might prevail any
spring. The winter of 1878 was one
of extreme severity, and ice of unprece-
dented thickness formed on Lake Erie
When the breakup came toward the
end Of March a strong southeast wind
was blowing. and the ice was piled into
banks as large as icebergs.
Toward the night of March 30 the
wind suddenly changed to the opposite
direction. increased to a terrific gale
and drove the ice into the entrance Of
| Niagara river with such force that q
huge dam was formed. of such thick
ness and solidity as to be practically
| impenetrable and strong enough to
| hold back the great mass of water
! pressing against it at last. in the

But you have. nevertheless 1t is
known as the sense OF equilibrium.
The sixth sense is located in the
semicircular canals of the inner ear.
and whenever person is in danger
of falling or losing his equilibrium a
warning message is communicated to
the brain. For years psychologists
have been puzzled to know the func-
