Predicts Disappearance Of American .
Side Of Fails Within A Few
hundred Years , ' "
"There willi be no American falls at
Niagara within a few hundred years
under present condition's," declared
.Professor R. C. Hussey in an illus- .
trated lecture yesterday afternoon at
five o'clock at the Natural Science
auditorium. "If, as engineers have Roman Bohnen

he added. .
Tlhis lecture was given as a prelimi-iID flDAM AIIuOIiE
nary to the annual trip to Niagara
Falls which will take place next week-
end. The trip is to be made under
the guidance of Professor Hussey.
Many views of Niagara Falls and its
vicinity were shown in conjunction
with the lecture. A complete outline
of the geologic history that led up to
the formation of the falls was given.
Glaciers Formed Lakes
"Millions of years ago, when the
sea covered all the locality of Niagara
Falls, the materials were laid down
which make up the cliff over which
the falls now plunge," stated the lec-
turer. "Then came the glaciers
scooping out the earth to make great
hollows which the Great Lakes now
occupy, and from these lakes the water
that n'hakes the Falls. At one time the
outlet for the upper lakes was along
the Ottawa river past the present city
of Ottawa in Canada," said Professor
Hussey, "but later an upheaval in the
North caused a return to the old out-
let."
"The Falls are slowly retreating,"
he declared, "the Horseshoe Falls on
Jhe Canadian side at the rate of six
feet per year, and the American Falls
at about one foot per year. The great
diffierence in the rate is due to the
fact that only about six per cent of
the total volume flows over the Ameri-
can side, the other ninety-four per
cent going over the Horseshoe Falls.
The Falls in this country are about
ten feet higher than those in Can-
ada."
Interesting Trip Is Planned
"Many thrills are in store for those
taking the trip," Said Prof. Hussey.
"There will be a trolley trip along the
river gorge, the tracks running very
close to the edge of the stream. There
is the trip in the little steamer, 'Maid
of the Mist,' which noses its way close
up under the great cataract until it
seems to capsize, when it whirls about
andreturns safely. There is also a
trip over the giant whirlpool in a lit-
tle car suspended from a cable."
MANY STUDENTSE
ENROLL A T CAMP
According to a report received yes-
terday from Prof. George R. La Rue,
director of the University Biological
station on Douglas lake in the north-
ern part of the southern peninsula of
Michigan, there are 72 students en-,.
rolled for the course offered there
during the summer. Of these 49 are
graduate students, 22 are from the
College of Literature, Science, an'd the
Arts, and one is a student in the '
School of Education.
According to records, the number
enrolled at present is approximately
the same as last year, and Prof. La-'
Rue expects several more to enroll
before the end of the week. The sta-
tion opened last Monday.

of the Alumni association, left Thurs-

Work on remodeling the old museum
building next to Alumni Memorial hall
in order to make it suitable to house
the department of romance languages,
is proceeding satisfactorily, and the
building will be ready for occupancy
about the middle of August, according
to an announcement made yesterday.
Plans for the remodeling provide for
eighteen class rooms, a lecture hall,
a large assembly room for the use
of the French, Spanish, and Italian
dramatic societies, and offices for the
staff of the romance language depart-
ment. Partitions are of sound-proof
cinder block, and a new cement floor
Is to be built downstairs. The entire
building is being rewired, to provide
better lighting facilities.
The transfer of the romance lang-
uage headquarters will entail several
other changes. The lower floor of

will be occupied by the Treasurer's
and Secretary's offices, while the Ger-
man and philosophy departments will
occupy the upper floors.

scribing each household from the point
of view of the other.

ROCKFORD PLAYERS' LEADING MAN
HAD ACTIVE CAREER AT MINNESOTA
Appearing before university audi-
ences is nothing new to Roman Boh-
nen, leading man of the Rockford
players, who will play his second role
of the season as Hiram Draper, Sr.,
in "So This Is London" at Sarah Cas-
well Angell hall tomorrow afternoon.
During his undergraduate days at the
University of Minnesota he filled for
two years the position of varsity cheer
leader, or rooter king, as the job is
called in Minneapolis. He was active
in campus dramatics at the northern
university, and both before and after
receiving his diploma appeared on the
professional stage with a stock com-
pany in St. Paul. In referring to his
St. Paul experience in a recent in-
terview, Bohnen declared that a baw-
ling out he received for tardiness
from the director of this company had
since been late to a rehearsal.
After graduation, the actor was call-
ed back to the university to direct the
most gigantic enterprise in the athlet-
ic history of Minneapolis. He organ-.
ized and directed, during the fall of
the year 1923, the campaign to raise
$2,000,000 for the erection of the me-
morial stadium. His efforts resulted
in the securing of the funds and the
completion of the structure.
For a short time. after this, Bohnen
continued his professional work in
St. Paul, going from there to the
Goodman Memorial theater, Chicago.
He joined the Rockford troupe as
leading man this summer. The en-
thusiasm with which his performance
in "The Letter" was received has giv-
en local playgoers reason to believe
that a series of interesting roles are
