Why THERE is NO Rain IN PERU.-1n
Peru, South America, rain is unknown. The
coast of Peru is within the region ofperpet-
ual southeast trade winds. Though the
Peruvian shores are on the verge of the
great South Sea boiler, yet it never rains
there. The reason is plain. The out east
trade winds in the Atlantic ocean, first strike
the water on the coast of Africa. Trave-
ling to the northwest, they blow obliquely "a
cross the ocean until they reach the coast oi
Brazil. By this time they are heavily laden
with vapor, which they continue to bear
along across the continent, depositing it as
they go, and supplying with it the sources
of the Rio de la Plata and the southern tri-
butaries Of the Amazon. Finally they reach
the snow capped Andes and here is wrung
from them the last particle of moisture that
the very low temperature can extract
Reaching the summit of that range, :hey
now tumble down as cool and dry winds
on the Pacific slopes beyond Meeting
with no evaporating surface, and with no
Temperature colder than to which they were
subjected to on the mountain tops, they
reach the ocean before they become
charged with fresh vapor, and before, there
fore, they have any which the Peruvian
climate can ex tract. Thus we see how the
top of the Andes becomes the reservoir from
which are supplied the rivers of Chill and
Peru:-Maury's Geography ofMe Sea.
