 vMlil ft Iftrrow atrip haf h«re h««n cat The contoar of th« 
 4^atara«t ia rabte«t to change. Prom time to time btoclu of roek 
 hrtak awaj. falling into th« |m)o1 brlow. and new shape* are then 
 given to the brink over whi«h the water leapa. Manr rach fall* 
 of rock have takttn tilac« lince the white roan occnpied the kanka 
 of the river, and the Waking away of a very larg«» aection ie etiU 
 a rnc«»ni event. By "uch «.lw«rviitione we are aerored that the eitent 
 of the gorge ia Increaaing at it* end. that it ii growing larger, and 
 that the cataract ia the caoae of the eitenaion. 
 
 This determination is the flrat element in the history of IIkI 
 river. A change is in progress before oar eyea. The river's history, 
 like haroan hintory. is being enacted, and fW)m that which occnni we 
 can draw inferences concerning what has ocoared. and what will 
 ocoar. We can look forward to the time when the gorge now 
 traversing the fourth part of the width of the plateao will completely 
 divide it. so that the Niagara uHti drain Lake Krim to the 
 bottom. We can look back to the time when there was no gorge, 
 but when the water flowed on the top of the plain to Ita edge, 
 and the Falbi were at Lewiston. - 
 
 The commencement of the cutting of the Niagara gorge is the 
 beginning of the history o( the Niagara River. We have accom- 
 plished somewhat of oar purpoie if we have discovered that ear , 
 river had a beginning. We are so accustomed to think of streams 
 and specially large streams, as permanent as flowing on forever 
 the discovery of a definite beginning to the life of a great river like 
 the Nianra is important and imprefsTve « The author then consider* 
 the tendency of stream histories and the tendency of lake histories, 
 and after citing the diflference between the streama of the North and 
 Sooth aays: »At the south the whole drainago system ia mature; at 
 the north it is immatoro. At tho south it is old ; at the north, yoang.
