The Niagara river makes u liend at a right angle, and the falls are at the apex of that angle. This canal forms the hy- pother use of a right angled triangle, of which the longest 6ide is the river above and the shortest side the river below the falls. The mills are near the falls and are not a picturesque feature of the scenery. The turbiues which drive the mills are sunk in pits only about fifty or sixty feet deep, and consequently their tail races discharge a hundred feet or more above the surface of the rapids below the falls, and half of the available power of the water bronght down by the canal is thus wasted. Less than 6.000 horsepower is utilized. Tho new works have reversed this plan of a long supply canal and a short tailraco. They have been constructed on a modification of a plan first proposed i, and instead of considering the in terests of the yard owners, of the car riers and of tho home industry iu gen eral they missed all the blessings of protective tariff and insignificant iteilF of cost to the suiner, and this upon tlio bare represen tations of a mathematician!

And should we not be glad to hire yards and remunerate the owners and employ carriers at con tinually increasing wages, what though the commodity does cost ns more; does not that Welshman across the sea pay the tax? “So,” says Mr. Aubrey in an other place, ‘ we may see how statesmen translating tbo sign would be surprised to see a grocery store run by “Believe in Jesns & Co.” Mr. Yee sells groceries, but none of the kind that aro seen upon tho table of an American, if we except a little rice _ and tea.

After the water had done its work on the wheels it is discharged into tho big tunnel, which runs away un derground to the river below the falls. This tnunel has liecn the most diffi cult and costly part of the work so far. It was cut through solid limestone rock, but the rock was found to crntnble so badly after exposure that the whole 7,000 feet of the tunnel had to be bricked up. It is in the form of a horseshoe, twenty-eight feet high and eighteen feet broad, inside dimensions. Starting at a depth of 1G0 feet it has a downward slope or pitch of four feet in n thousand at first, increasing to seven feet in a thousand.

The writer yesterday had the pleasure of witnessing a shipment of freight un packed which had just completed its long journey from China. The ten or twelvo large boxes covered with the odd but well known green paper and inimi table characters, all securely wrapped with strips of cane, had at a glance a foreign look abont them. When the boxes were opened, however, and some of the goods taken out, the foreign ap pearance was increased rnauy times over. Everything was stored away in a very - careful and compact manner, each arti cle being separated from every other by little improvised but effective partitions in the large boxes. There were strange looking nuts of all sorts—some from the marshes along the Y’ellow and Blue rivers, and some from the rugged upland region between tbo Yangtze and its great tributary, the Min. The water nuts from the low lands, growing in the ponds and the swamps like lilies—the root forming the nut—had the soft black mud from their eastern home still cling ing aronnd them. When cut open with a knife the juicy white meat was evi dently as fresh as it was the day it had been taken from the faraway banks of some lonely swamp. There were dozens of kinds of dried mushrooms, numerous kinds and quali ties of macaroni, jars of the most de licious ’ (?) sauce, boxes of queer red rasins, casks of dark brown oysters, which, it is said, swell to many times their sizo when cooked; ginger root so strong and biting that nono but an ac customed tongue can endure its taste, dried fish in endless variety and appear ance, sticks of sugar cano, which were really quite palatable, beautiful little bamboo baskets of the finest tea, kegsof long, slender cucumbers in a thick, black sauce; vegetables sqmething like beets and carrots and potatoes; bnt really like none of them; black seagrass or seaweed, which, when “wash* wi' flesh water,” is supposed to become a most luscious auxiliary cooked with stewed meats; and last, but not least (in .

The extent and con- 9tancy of this water power can be un derstood when it is realized that the water service of the great lakes, with the land sloping iuto them and contrib uting to the Falls of Niagara, has a to tal drainage basin of over 240,000 square miles—equal to more than twice the area of Great Britain and Ireland, about 40,- 000 square miles more than the total area of France, and more than fifteen times the total area of Switzerland.

The other channel, iu the state of New Y’ork. forms the Amer ican falls, which are 169 feet high at the eastern side, and 1,000 feet wide, both falls comprising 3.600 linear feet of water.
