 (Le tour du monde-a travers le monde. n. s. annee 12 [1906] Paris: 



1906. Pp. 289-292.) 



An article on the spoliation of Niagara by the overdevelopment of its 

 power facilities. The article contains three illustrations showing some of 

 the most disfiguring effects of the power installations. The art of pre- 

 serving and increasing natural beauty is so well understood in France, that 

 this article is interesting as giving us the French point of view.

LANIER, ROBERT S. International aid for Niagara. (R. of R., Apr., 1906 

 1906. 33:432-439.) Lanier 



An appeal for the preservation of the Falls and a review of the efforts 

 to save them. To quote: " The public feeling behind these movements is 

 not necessarily insensible to the glory of having at Niagara ' the power 

 center of the world,' or blind to the fascination of unique hydraulic prob- 

 lems magnificently executed. But it finds a glory and magnificence in 

 the sight of what nature has done here which, compared with the success 

 of a few industrial enterprises, is vastly for the greater good of the greater 

 number. . . . Mournful indeed would be a mechanical triumph over 

 this international inspiration!
