Mean to Destroy Nature's Work. Washington, Feb. 20.-Dr. W. J. Spencer, the British scientist who was commissioned by the geological survey ot Canada to make an In vestigation of tho Niagara Falls pro blem, discussad to-day in a most In teresting manner the effect of the utilization of its waters by power plants upon the scenic beauty ot that natural wonder. At the Instance pf the American Civic Federation Dr. Spencer has ap peared before the house Rivers and Harbors Cmmittee and presented facts and figures to show what effect tho request of the Ontario Power Co. for a power franchise, to develop which would require forty thousand cubic feet of water per second, would have on the falls. It was contended by Dr. Spencer that this request was for from twen ty to twenty-five per cent of the discharge of Niagara river.and would greatly impair the characteristics* of the whirlpool rapids, lower the river bed up to the falls, break up the surface rock at the foot of the American falls and Goat- island, and thereby cause a more rapid recession of the Horse Shoe. "Al tile beginning of these rapids is marked by a rim over which the flow of water is already very thin upon the eastern half," said Dr. Spencer to-day, "the diversion ot the water will drain that portion of the upper rapldB with tho effect of de stroying about eight hundred feet of the eastern side of the great Horse Shoe and breaking up the American falls Into separated streams. By this shrinkage of the water, the to tal length of both falls will be con tracted from nearly four thousand feet to, say, sixteen hundred feet, and the diameter of the great fall from twelve hundred to eight hun dred feet. This diversion of the wa ter will produce a shrinkage of the Horse Shoe, so that what remains will be entirely on the Canadian side of the boundary line. "On account of the lowering of the water in the basin above the upper rapids, it will increase the slop ; of the river BO that the surface of Lake Erie will be lowered by three feet. Again, the lowering of Lake Erie will,in the same manner,lower Lakes Huron and Michigan."
