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. La Nature.
