02 Rapids above the Falls
Rapids above the falls
The fall of the Niagara River from the head of the Rapids, three-quarters of a mile above the Cataract, to the edge of the precipice is nearly 60 feet, the velocity of the current varvjnK from 7 to 27 miles an hour. No words can describe the grandeur of this sight as the visitor, standing upon the brink of the current above the Falls, looks out across a tossing, foaming stretch of water, a verv emblem of chaos itself. All the shades of green and violet are displayed in the colorings of this water, while spread over it, like a network of filmy lace that rises and falls with the tumultuous heaving of the water' s bosom, is the white of foam and spray and mist.
