The amount of water passing over the Niagra Falls has been estimated at 100,000,000 tons per hour, and its perpendicular descent may be taken at 150 ft, without considering the rapids, represents a further fall of 105 ft. The force represented by the principal fall alone amounts to 16,800,000 horsepower, an amount, which if it had to be produced by steam, would necessitate an expenditure of not less than 569,000,000 tons of coal per annum, taking the consumption of coal at four pounds per horse-power per hour. All the coal raised throughout the world would barely suffice to produce the amount of power that annually runs to \ waste in this wonderful fall.
