THE FATHER OF RIVERS.

The Mississippi river extends 2,l00 miles
from the frozen region of the North to the
sunny South, and with the Missouri river is
$500 miles in length. 1t would reach from
New York across the Atlantic ocean, or
from France to Turkey and the Caspian
Sea. Its average depth is fifty feet, and
width over half mile. The floods are
more than month travelling from its source
to its delta. The trappers can exchange the
furs of animals caught by them on the Up
per Mississippi for the tropical fruits gath
cred on the banks below. The total value
of steamers afoat on tho river and its
tributaries is more than $50, 900, 900, num-
boring 1000 boats, with more than
twice the steamboat tunnage of England.
1t drains an area Of ,2O0, 900, square miles,
and washes the shores of twelve powerful
States. In one single reservoir ut Lake
-Pepin, between Wisconsin and Minnesota,
$500 miles from the sea, the navies Of the
world might ride at anchor.
