“CAVE OF THE WINDS”
. . I'* » ■ - 1 > The old stairway leading down past the “Rock of Ages,’' into the “Cave of the Winds” at Niagara Falls is to be abandoned. A new means of exploring the cataract, a tunnel 2000 ft. long, has been bored throvigh the cliff ever which the falls descend. It con. nects with a shaft sunk 167 ft down from the surface of Goat Island. In the shaft are two electric lifts surrounded by a spiral stairway. At the mouth of the tunnel .opening directly upon the whirlpool, a peninsula has been built of the rock removed in making the tunnel and shaft, and a concrete retaining wall is being constructed. The mole, which affords an excellent “close-up” of the falls, Is called "Clearwater View.”
