u.l. printed: 1090 \\ ROCK OF AGES and American Falls from below \ Niagara Falls. Centre Fall issues from between Luna \ and Goat shore foot. Under the Falls is a place \ called Cave of the Winds, formed by thirsty feet \ of projecting limestone that has resisted the action \ of the corroding waters while the shady sub stratum \ directly under the ledge has been eaten away. The \ so-called cave is one hundred feet in height and sixty \ feet in depth and can be reached by a perpendicular \ winding stairway from Goat Island. The cave \ derives its name from the constant pressure of the \ atmosphere caused by the reflex of the falling water \ which resembles a storm of great violence.
