so much of the water as to impair their effectiveness as the " eighth wonder of the world?" Chicago, in a cognate case, threatens to lower the level of the great lakes by drawing off their water through her new great drainage canal. Such questions have never before ap peared as possible causes of national strife, and new rules of international , law may perhaps be required to decide them. When would the injury to the Palls, for example, begin to be fair ground for legal complaint ? Even a small withdrawal of water impairs them to some degree. Has either side a. right to interfere in any way with the natural conformation of tho water way ?

ATHLETIC.
