Excerpt from Niagara Falls and Their History
The rains that make its floods dislodge particles of soil, and wash them into the tributaries in such multitude that they discolor the water. The pebbles of its bed and the mud with which it is discolored are the river's load, which it transports from the face of the land to the bed Of the sea. The tributaries of Niagara carry their loads only to the lakes, where the loads Sink, and leave the water pure. Thus Niagara is ever clear. Sometimes, when storm waves lash the Shores Of Erie, a little sand is washed to the head Of the river, and carried downstream; sometimes a little mud is washed into the river by the small creeks that reach its banks. Thus Niagara is not absolutely devoid Of load, but its burden is SO minute that it is hard to detect.
