Prof. Hall gives the height of the American fall as 167 feet, and of the Horseshoe fail at 158 fect, eounting the elevations from the wate cdge on October 4, 154 nd e admits that this starting point can vary from 4 to 20 foet with the rise and fall of the water in in the viver below the falls; width of Ameriean 600, and Horseshoe, LS00 feet Lake survey went ) wrain in 1875, and in thirty-three years the souths crnmost point of the Horseshoe fall had receded 160 feet, while in the brink of the American fall differcnces of 40 feet V pparent. When the Ame Association for the Advaucement of cience met here in 1886 the section of geology decided to make Niagara the probicm of the session, and for that pur- pose Proi.. Woodward of Washington and some of his assistants surveyed the brink of the falls in. He found an average recession for the whole face of the falls of about foct per annum, but as the central part of the curve, whera the water is deepest, retreated faster than the edges, for at the southernmost point of the Horseshoe fall it was found that it had traveled south 275 fect sinca 1875, or 435 feet since 1842, or about feet y year. In view of such rapi changes ‘it seems highly probable that the older pictures of the falls, whieh s place the Horseshoe fall consid= nearee than we find it to-day,are ally correct. If the rate of on remains during the next ; s it has been for the past fortys five years the inner edge of the Horse- shoe fall will have passed to the west of Goat island, and as* the line of de water is near the Canadian sho the waters of the river will pa the Hovseshoe fall, obliterating the American fall_entively and transforme ing Goat island into a 'penins “The fall will then perhaps be highep than to-day, beeause the present descent of fifty feet over the rapids will then be added to the height of the cataract minus the number of feet nece give the necessery current to the helow, which at present is fifteen feet to the mile. At that rate it will need about five miles before the Niagara shale, which now occupies the lower half of the face of th ull, is under water, and the retrocession by means of undermining is stopped, Then the changes will be accomplished simply by the eroding power of the water and” the falls will remain near the foot of Grand Island for a practically unlimited time, The hope of finally having the Falls of raat Buffalo must be abandoned, from the foot of Grand Island to the v only rapids can exist, never a fall, on account of the nature of the unders lying rock, which is soft.
