"Sin guru 1M 34.000 Yours Old. For more than a hundred years the vpientlsts of the Old and New World li.'.ve been figuring out the age of the sreat Falls. Elliot in 1790 fixed the use at 55,000 years; Lyell in 1840 claimed the Falls could not be over 3.V00d years; Woodward In 18S6 even reduced the figure to 12,000 years, and still more recently Gilbert after learn ed .irguments about the matter, es th, uted their age at sixty-seven years. Now Prof. Spencer comes forward and says that all calculations so far had been based upon the retrogressive movement of the soil through the ac tion of water. While this recession is nearly regular, he adds a new ele ment of valuation, that Is the different phases of the formation of the river itrelf and its greater or lesser force of erosion exerted both on river bed and banks. Spencer argues that the river exists for about 32,000 years, nurine 1.000 years or more It had drained the Erie basin without hay ing formed a cascade. The waters of Lake Ontario getting lower and lower, the Falls resulted, but were formed slowly and gradually until they reach ed their present height The Niagara Falls as we know them, or nearly so, will last at least 6,000 years longer.
