smiling accessibility is most alluring, but is most dangerous. 

 Every rock and ledge has its story of the fatal attraction of the 

 waters.

The author viewed the Falls from all the various points of interest and 

 was much struck with the rapids. In his own words : " It is no use 

 attempting to picture the scene. . . . You cannot see Niagara at once ; 

 it takes day after day to realize its vastness."

" It is too big a thing to put into words or on canvas," says the author. 

 That is perhaps the reason that he does not attempt to describe the Falls 

 but puts his remarks about them in a chapter on " Recreations and Amuse- 

 ments " and gives his attention to dinner at the International Hotel.

O'Kelly took a place in our waggon and accompanied us to 

 Niagara, which, he said, it would be almost criminal to have 

 passed without stopping to visit. All around the Falls — which 

 are really majestic, though one feels inclined to believe that they 

 have been put there to attract foreigners of every nationality — 

 is a perpetual sort of St. Cloud fete.
