GREAT AFRICAN WATERFALL.

Cataract on the Southern Frontier of Ny
nssaland with Fail OF 900 Feet.
Another big waterfall has recently
been discovered, says the Chicago Post
1t was found by John buchanan in IL
journey he made q few months ago
along the southern frontier of Nyassa-
land. The falls occur in Ruo river,
which has figured in the recent troubles
between the Portuguese and English.
The RuO is named in the treaty between
those countries as the boundary line be-
tween British Nyassaland and the
Portuguese possessions. Mr. buchanan
came upon the Ruo falls at low water.
SO he did not see them in their full
grandeur, though ut any season of the
year they afford Il magnificent spccta-
Gle. They are about twenty-five miles
from the mouth of the river, which is
Il tributary of the Shire, and are about
one thousand four hundred feet above
the sea. At high water the falls are
six hundred feet wide and take a giant
leap of two hundred feet into Il foaminr
abyss, whose depth Mr.. buchanan had
no means Of estimating. The general
outline Of the falls is that of Il horse
shoe. For about half Il year. therefore,
tiiCNt lliiS, vi w IlCli VIC never nc.lfi bc-
fore. and which are within twenty-five
miles Of Il route Travelled by many white
men ever since Livingstone discovered
Lake Nyassa. may he numbered among
the most stupcndons waterfalls of the
world.
When Mr.. buchanan saw them mt low
water the falls were one hundred and
twenty feet wide. The water from the
various channels above the falls collects
into one main stream, which thnndcrs
down the chasm, sending sllyward
clouds of vapor and dashing along its
angry course after spreading into u
breadth Of four hundred and fifty feet
During The rainy season, while the river
is full Mr.. buchanan says the falls
must be one of the most magnificent
sights i'll the world, and even when he
saw it he thought that it was we'll worth
travelling many miles to see.

with the circuit open, but in such way
chat it could be closed at will by the en-

was that when the visitor came to the
