depths of those sorrowful gray eyes.
I read instantly the truth-the Army
Of Northern Virginia was no more.
Yet with what calm dignity did this
defeated chieftain pass down that
blue lane. his head erect. his eyes
undimmed-as dauntless in that awful
hour of surrender as when he rode
before his cheering legions Of fighting
men. Only as he came to where

USE OF NIAGARA WATER
REDUCES WEAR ON FALLS
Rescue OF Beautiful Horseshoe Curve
Planned by Experts.

Withdrawal of water from the Ma
CARA River. for the purpose of senerat-
ing electrical power, is preserving rath-
er than injuring Niagara Falls, accord
ing to a committee report presented
at the recent meeting of the National
Electric Light Association at Seattle.
The explanation is that the enor-
nous food has slowly worn away the
Lodges. until within recent years spot
Of soft limestone has been reached,
almost i'm the center of the Horse
shoe cataract A Vshaped notch
has been guttered out which is eat
ing its way back into the rock AT the
rate Of five feet a year.
The suction caused by this receding
channel is injuring the beauty of the
cataract by drawing water away from
the sides and concentrating II I'm mid
stream, and fear is expressed that
the Horseshoe Fails will eventually
contract into narrow whirlpool rap
ids.
In 1908 Major Keller. In charge Of
the survey might be prevented by
| constructing a submerged dam in the
lriver just back of the danger point.
This would Gdflect the current toward
the sides, thus saving erosion at the
notch and at the same time improving
the appearance of the Falls near
shore.
The work was declared TO be feas-
ble. but owing to the expense involved
no steps have been taken so far to
carry 1t out. Meanwhile according 10
the authority quoted. the withdrawal
of fraction of the stream above the
rails for power purposes although in
appreciable so far as the appearance
of the cataract goes, lessons the enor-
nous pressure at the apex and reduces
wear at the middle of the beautiful
! horseshoe curve.
Fortunately diversion of water can
not be carried to excess. Rigid limits
have been set by the lately negotot-
ed Canadian American waterway trea-
" so that, except for the effects OF
Nature itself. the grandeur of Niagara
is safeguarded for the future
