Tn. MOTHER OF warEEs.-Lieut. Habersham, in
his letters from China to the Philadelphia Ledger,
asserts that the Mississippi river, which we call the
& Father of Waters is not to be compared to the
Yang-tse-Kiang river, to which he applies the name
of g Mother of Waters" In proof of this he compares
the width and volume of the two streams:
The Mississippi opposite New Orleans is not quite
six hundred yards wide, with n mean depth OF one
hundred feet and a mean velocity of nearly one and
a half miles per hour. Thus n body of water one and
a half miles long six hundred yards wide, and one
hundred feet thick is driven into the Gulf of Mexico
every hour. A little more than one hundred miles
from the mouth of the Yang-tse- Kiang, (the Son of
the Sea- is located the city of kiang Yin. The
river here is 800 yards wide, has an average depth
of ninety mine feet, and n mean velocity of :wo miles
Der hour. Thus we have, he remarks, a body of
water two miles long, nineteen hundred yards wide,
and ninety-nine feet thick, hourly urged into the
bosom of the Yellow Sea. Compare this volume with
the first and it will be found to be almost double.
Were the length Of the great Chinese water course
only known the comparison might be completed; but
that cannot be until the interior Of China is opened to
the world. Its estimated length is three thousand
three hundred miles.
Lieut.. Habersham estimates that the water of the
Yang tse-Kiang carry along in suspension the i'm
mense quantity of about thrty-three and n third per
cent. of sedimentary matter. According to the esti-
mate ] 1886, 1886 900 cubic feet of mud is hourly
transmitted to the sea by this river. 1t seems quite
incredible, but as the earthly matter discharged by
the Yang-tse-Kiang colors the waters at its mouth,
giving to them the name Of the Yellow Sea, besides
forming immense flats, the amount must be very
large The Yang-tse Kiang. however, bears no bet
ter comparison with the Amazon, than, according to
Lieut.. Habersham, the Mississippi does to the Chinese
river. The Amazon, which is the largest river in the
world, is one thousand seven hundred and sixty nine
miles in length in n direct line. or including its
windings nearly four thousand miles, while four
hundred miles from the Atlantic it is more than n
mile in width, and has a velocity of three and a half
miles per hour, and in indictment no bottom is
found within twenty fathoms or one hundred and
twenty feet. This noble river, with its tributaries, is
estimated to afford fifty thousand miles of inland
navigation"
