the agape impolite as that is the almost weird love story has a good plot rood enough to stand on its own two feet yet cora jar rett has decided to treat it most unusually she has her firstperson singular who tells the story the wife of a psychologist almost ramble through the book in a man ner that seems doubtful for even the most deviating feminine con versationalist that was the night when but first i must go back to but before he told us he left the constant suspense becomes almost tiring but this should not deter a reader it is indeed wortn working through the ins and outs of the plot to arrive at the most successful ending not satisfying as far as the story goes but im minently ouccossfuj as storybel ling some books read straight ahead and others try the flashback but the devious routes of the unfolding of this plot arc rather uncalled for the doctors wife speaks very directly to the writer she writes what her husband thinks of the story so far if she had been more impersonal writing stream of con iciousness prose more like william faulker the style would be more easily understood but again this is no reason to criticize the plot which is cleverly contrived and captivating its always interesting to read about psychologists these days and the practising doctors in return in december have plenty of material but the realm of psychiatry is transcended and the reader must be a good one to keep the threads of details en his mind and in the end a most superior one not to feel quite lost the return in december was to a house which itself will interest readers the main feature of the great home is a free standing statrcase each of the treads was anchoredlnto the lurvinif wall t one end but at the other end was free supported onlv by the cor responding rising curve of a mag nificent rib of bronze and it was built without risers between its thick shining treds of oak so you could look clear through it from front to back or the other way w easily as if it had been a sumptuous ladder the illusion of freedom and lightness about it v as almost magical this stainasi play a part in the drama certainly no el is the uncanny iuaprnse of return- in december greatest

generating units one of the major features of the development is the construct on of two of the largest underground tunnels in the world these tunnels each 5h miles long will divert the water from the upper niagara river under the city of niagara falls the tunnels will emerge to the surface on the other side of the city where they will empty into a 2umile opencut canol bigger in depth and width than the suez this canal will hnvea capacity of 40 000 cubic feet of water per second to feed the penstocks or plpes leading to sir adam bcck- niagara generating stations no 1 and no 2 completion of

river flows over the horseshoe falls and 05 p cent of this amount passes over the middle third of the cataract leav ing the flanks bare during periods of low water in the river remedial work will distribute the water more evenly over 2g00foot crestlme lessening erosion at the centre and preserve the aweinspiring beauty of the falls the average annual flow of the niagara river is about 204000 cubic feet of water per second the treaty requires that during the day time hours of late spring summer and early fall at least 100000 cubic feet per second of water must pas over the cataracts during the night throughout the full year as well as the daytime hours of late fall winter and early spring only 50000 cubic feet per second must pass over the falls this will allow canada and the united states to use greater amounts of water for power gen eration under normal conditions particularly during the late fall and winter when power demands art high mystery precedes byp corn roast an air of
