To the question "How old are the Niagara falls?" geologists have returned replies varying by tens of thousands of years. At first it was estimated that the Niagara river came Into existence through changes in the level of the land around the great lakes about 65,000 years ago. Later this was reduced to only 12,000 years. Lyell iuereaaed the estimate again to 3o,000 years, and still later other scientists lowered it to about 9,000 yeurs. At one period, many thousands of years ago, the height of the falls was 420 feet. x Are you using i system of b tifpln %[[ I UciounttJ \fr^?| MOO MODERN SAVE TIME.
