The origin, and history of the• Niagara
gorge has (always been among the most
interesting problems soientists have 'had
to cleat with. It is a subjection on which
the' most learned have differed, and to -day
there is more or less discussion as to its
formation and age. —
Prof. G. K. Gilbert, geologist, who has
been connected with the United States
Geologioal Survey, Washington, 11 C. ,
ever since 1879, is malting a most, careful
study of the falls, the gorge and the river.
This is not Prof. Gilbert's first visit to
the Falls. This matter of the Niagara
River's history bas commanded his atten-
tion before, and facts he learned ou We -
previous visit gave him such food for
thought that he has returned to battle
with the mysteries of the river and the
gorge, and perhaps learn new facts about
the ice age period hereabouts. It was in
1889. before the American Association
for the Advancement .of Science, at their
meeting in Toronto, Ont., •that Prof. Gil-
bert read an essay on "The History of
the ,Niagara River." In this able paper
he held that the commencement of the
cutting of the Niagara gorge was the be-
ginning of the history of the Niagara
River, and that much had been aocom-
plithat the river
hnd a dbeginning.in the sa Modern thought is so
accustomed to picture and contemplate
all streams, especially such wonderfully
attractive rivers as the Niagara, as per-
manent, that the idea of a river having a
beginning is at once important and im-
pressive. It is commonly held that the
great geologic event, the ice age, had
much to do with the creation of the Nia-
gara, and many scientists have made
careful research for testimony to support
their ideas and convictions. It is suoh
an errand that has brought Prof. Gilbert
to Niagara at ...this delightful period of
the yoar, when the evidence his eyes seek
is not hidden out of sight by the growth
of the vegetation in the gorge, but when
the weather istperfect for scientific out-
ings and the story of the rocks and earth
is all laid bare to the experienced and
observant eye. Prof. Gilbert is an early
riser, and on no morning is the sun over -
high before he is on his way to some dis-
tant point of the gorge to delve for in-
formation which may yet startle the
scientific world by directing closer atten-
tion to the Niagara locality and its story.
North from the whirlpool there lies a
ravine which is well known to be rioh in
glacial deposit, and here Prof. Gilbert has
devoted much of his time. Just why he
is no% quite ready to say, but his very
silence is significant of the importance he
attaches to his search there.
Should a man of less ability, less prom-
inence, In his Hold than Mr. Gilbert say
that when the falls were at the point now
called the Devil's Hole, on the New York
State side, and Foster's ' Flats, on the
Canadian'sido, they were•divided by en'
island similar in shape to the present
beautiful Goat Island of the New York
State Reservation, he would find few be-
lievers, but that is what Prof. Gilbert
says, and ho points to Wintergreen Flats
as an evidence of the truth of bis con-
clusions. Then, too, Prof. Gilbert has
been studying the velocity and depth of
the water in the whirlpool rapids, and
in this connection it is recalled that the
late George Barker, the eminent landscape
photographer, always made claim to hav-
jfpievhil. If, therefore, thiliear e]relative,

progress, can be made. in Capgda ail. In the .
United States no greater achievement In
the shape of growth and.development can
take place in the world at large than
will be shown on the northern part of the
continent in the next ten years,
Canada is peculiarly a land of sur-
prises, and possesses more latent stores of
wealth -producing power than any other
iruuntry in the world, Aside from her
great possessions in five thousand miles
of coast -line fisheries, her almost limit less
timber regions, her ninetji-seven thouand
square miles of coal, her vast iron de-
posits, her silver and gold mines, sbe has
other minerals in a variety nowhere eleo
to be found. This is instanced in the
matter of nickel, of which deposits are
now found to he of enormous proportions,
and which metal is likely to be brought
into use to a degree never before dreamed
of. The latest and best, development in
this line are the tests in armour -Plates at
Annapolis, and subsequently at Pitts-
burg, by which it is ascertained that an
alloy of nickel with steel will make guns
unburstible, and armour -plate impene-
trable. Much that has been hoped for In
the aluminum, which in the dim dis-
tance has been dreamed possible, nickel
will immediately perform in strength,
density, and perfection of the metal. In
asbestos, mica, gypsum, phosphates.
platinum, and the numerous other min-
erals, Canada abounds; but all these aro
unimportant compared with her food pro-
ducing forces. For it is a fact already
dawning upon the minds of thinking
men, that the exhaustion of arable lands
within the Union itself threatens within
a very brief period to make this vast
country, agricultural as It is, dependent
upon outside sources for supplies of food.
Vast areas beyond the borders, like the
Valley of the Saskatchewan, which Lord
Selkirk aid would sustain a population
of thirty millions, are available in Can-
ada; and it is from this source that the
gerat wheat supplies must be had for the
food of the people, for the employment of
transportation facilities, the manufacture
of flour, and the creation of new markets.
So that what occurs in the oat ten years
in Canada has a 'direct bearing upon the
future food supply of the United States.
If within :fifty years the population of
this country will, as it is claimed, reach
two hundred and fifty millions, and i1
the wheat areas have already reached
their limit in the northern tier, from
what other source is the supply of the
bread of the 'world to be had, except the
provision which Nature has made in that
singular conjunction, whereby in the
most northern latitudes the longest sum-
mer days prevail, with the fructifying in-
fluences resulting from constant exuda-
tion .of frost from the ground beneath?—

ing a negative showing n rock in the
centre of the river at a time of remark-
ably low water. People generally esti-
mate the river's velocity at this point at
forty to fifty miles an hour, and the depth
from 200 to 300 feet, reasoning that as the
gorge is exceedingly narrow the depth
must be great to carry away all of the
water that pours in such a thunderous
mass over the American and Horseshoe
Falls, the former being 1,000 feet across
and the latter over 2,600. Prof. Gilbert
says the velocity is twenty-three miles
and the depth only about forty feet, thus
wrecking the estimates of thousands of
tourists.
"You have probably noticed, Mr. Gil-
bert, that a Mr. Smith, of Toronto, On-
tario, claims the gorge to be a rent in the
earth. Have you found anything in
your present visit to lead you to convic-
tions other than those expressed by you
I, your previous papers on Niagara?"
"Mr. Smith's idea is not entirely new,
but was abandoned by Investigators 100
years ago, and no geologist now enter-
tains it. That the river is making its
own gorge is a fact of observation, and
not a speculation. Tho cataract is the
engine by which the work is done. The
rock formations comprise a hard lime-
stone at top and softer rocks beneath.
The water flowing over the limestone
does not wear It, but falling from it into
the shale below it scours a deep bole,
which is constantly enlarging. The en-
largement of this hollow undermines the
limestone, so that it fails of support, and
frwn time to time groat masses fall away.
Such rock 'alis have been observed fre-
quently during the last century, and the
fact that the cataract has thus eaten back
several hundred feet at the head of the
gorge demonstrates that the process is
quite adequate for the production of the
entire chasm. There is no need to appeal
to the forces of tho inner earth. If fur-
ther evidence is needed it may be found
in the ancient banks of the river, which
ern be readily discovered near the mar-
gi is of the gorge, whore part of the cliff
over which the water fell survives. Tho
fall was there divided In two by an isl-
and smaller than Goat Island. The part
on the American side proved the stronger
and eventually took all the water, leaving
the other dry. One can stand on the
brink of this ancient Canadian fall and
trace out the channel by which that
division of the river continued its course
to the foot of the island."

A French Auoti.on.
The French mode of conducting auctions"
is rather ourions. In sales of importance
the affair is placed in the 'arida of a no-
tary, who, for the time being, becomes an
auctioneer. The auctioneer is provided
with a number of small wax tapers, each
capable of burning about five minutes.
4s soon as a bid is made, one of these tap-
ers is placed In full view f f at iiteyestled
parties and lighted. If, before it expires,
another bid is offered, it is immediately
extinguished and afresh taper placed in
its stead, and so on until one flickers and
dieseent of itself, wbenthe last bid be-
coliies irrevocable;;: That simple plan pre-
vents all contention among rival bidders,
and affords reasonable time for reflection
before makiug a higher offer than the one
preceding. By this means, too, the auc-
tioneer is prevented from exercising un-
due influence upon the bidders, or hastily
accepting the bid of a favbrite.

the juice is dried and the residue packed
in chests of 1.40 pounds' capacity,. It is
sold monthly by auction at Calcutta.
The last report obtainable, that.ter 1893,
shows more than 4,800 chests sold for ex-
port and nearly 4,306 chests for consump-

profit of nearly $4,000,000 on the amount

CURIOUS AND INTERESTING.
London is the only capital in the world
where the door knocker still remains in ex-
istence. It is in uo sense of the word dim-
inishing or going put as an external article
of household furniture, . • On the contrary
it is as ntitnierous as ever. But it has
ceased to be as artistic as in the days of
yore. There no longer seems to be any
rivalry between neighbors about kno:kers.
They present a dead level of uniformity of
shape, and are more frequently painted
black than bright. The former is so
much easier to keep clean than the bur-
nished article.
The Great Wall of Cbfna.
Authorities differ as to the exact date
when the great wall of China was built,
but the coucensus of opinion appears to
be that it was begun, at least, in the reign
of the Emperor Che-Iiwang=ie, the found-
er of the Tsin dynasty, who ascended the
throne in 231 B.C., and died 210 B.C.
There does not seem to be any reason for
doubting its actual existence. It is true
that the late Carter Harrison, of Chicago,
when visiting China in 1886, wrote home
that he was inclined to look upon it as a
myth. Subsequently a paragraph went
the round of the papers, copied from the
London Times of August 5, 1887, which
attempted to show on the authority of
Abbe Larrien that the great wall "does
not and never did exist," that there are,
indeed, "square towers of earth faced with
brick at cousiderable distance from each
other, but these were never joined to-
gether as was originally intended." This
paragraph called out a lively controversy
which was settled in favor of the wall.
Among others H. S. Ashbee wrote to
Notes and Queries insisting that he him•
self had seen the great wall, that he had
climbed upon it, and, though he had never
measured it nor traveled along it for any
great length, he could bear ocular evi-
dence that it extended from the point
where he stood upon it iu a straight line,
unbroken save in places where it has
been allowed to fall into decay, as far as
the eye could reach in either direction.
"While crossing the Gulf of Liao Tong I
plainly saw, from the deck of the steamer,
where the great wall started from the sea.
Further, in the sante part of China, but
unconnected with the great wall, I ob-
served the square towers in question."
