THE "RIGHT TURN" OF THE NIAGARA RIVER AT THE FAMOUS FALLS: A WONDERFUL AIR PHOTOGRAPH, SHOWING THE AMERICAN FALL TO LEFT OF GOAT ISLAND AND THE CANADIAN ("HORSESHOE") FALL BEYOND.

This fine photograph, taken from the air at 2000 ft., brings out clearly the fact that the river at the Falls (like the Zambezi) makes a sharp right-angled turn. Goat Island divides the Falls into two parts, the Canadian (or " Horseshoe") Fall above in the picture, and the American Fall below. The bridge connecting Goat Island with the State of New York is clearly seen. In the upper rapids, the river falls 55 ft. and the sheer drop at the Falls averages 165 ft. The width of the American Fall is 1000 ft., and the length of the Horseshoe," or Canadian, Fall is 2600 ft. On this fall the crest recedes nearly 7 ft. a year by erosion. The average depth of the pool below the Falls is 250 ft. The Falls generate a vast amount of electricity. It may be recalled that Captain Webb, the first Channel swimmer, was drowned while trying to cross the rapids and whirlpool below the Falls on July 24, 1883.
