An article by the New York State Geologist on the impending destruc- 

 tion of the Falls and the remedy. According to Dr. Clarke, the American 

 fall is in danger of becoming " as dry as bone." He thinks it is too late

 power product, not necessarily for revenue but for protection," seems to 

 Dr. Clarke, " to lie the sole means of control of the problem, the only way 

 of saving our national pride before the bar of the world."
