found along the Amazon will not bear trans

the average breadth Of the river is ten miles
(though one can hardly believe it on account of
the Islands, which are often mistaken for the
mainland) and its average depth is $50 feet, so
that al I'll times OF the year vessels Of 900 tons
burden can go as far rs Manaos. Between
Santarem and Obidos (the next stopping place.
tfty miles above) the shore is more populous
than anywhere else, each little community Of
civilized Indians having its PALM matched
houses set close to the water, its landing place
screened by an arbor-like arrangement of fiow-
ering vines trained over the trees. Montarias

PUPPY fruit the chocolate Of commerce is made)
and the roots of the latter being made into
farina, the Brazilian Indians staff Of life.
THE TOWN OF oBIDos.
Obidos, the third important town on the
river, stands on rocky bluff 500 miles above the
ocean, with background Of hills and cacao
plantations. AT this point the Amazon is not
more than mile wide, but very deep, and its
current is so strong that we dare not trust to
our anchor, but make fast also to a giant
tree.
Eight or nine days after leaving Para we find
ourselves rounding the large island $50 large
that it contains an extensive lake, which lies
Just below the junction of the Rio Negro with
the Amazon. That portion of the Amazon west
of this island is locally known as the Solimoens,
as near its source it is universally called the
Maranon. Turning into the dead river" as
the Indians call the Rio Negro, in an hour or
two we find ourselves safely ashore at Manaos,
the most important island town of Brazil.

BEATS THE EIFFEL TOWER.

Matee Tepee, or the Bears Lodge. which
stands on the banks Of the Belle Fourche river,
in northeastern county Of Wyoming The
country for fifty miles around consists Of high

valleys-nothing to indicate the possible enist-
ence Of any snch freak Of nature.
The tower is gigantic column, a monster
obelisk Of lava. which rises 10 a height OF I 727
feet, almost twice the height of the Eidei
tower. At the base the huge shaft measures
1926 feet through in one direction. Huge crys-

Like the stars the Sky the states of this land
In their union and glory today;
To each It's own sphere; while together they stand,

That no terror may I'LL with dismay.
The stars are all bright, but yon sun where he
In the glorious center above
Is the brightest of ALL and the states In their lines
All point to the spot where tneir glory combines,
That all may In harmony move.
Columbia, that center-our capital here,
Like the altar Of freedoms glad home,
Or jewel below that reflects in its sphere,
The glory above where the sunbeams appear
Like fountain Of light in the dome.
And where should the songs of rejoicing today,
In remembrance Of history grand,
So sweety arise, and the memories play,
With such magical touch to thrill and to sway,
AS here In the heart of the land!
Columbus. the sailor who signaled the way
To this home in the glorious west;
And Columbia, sweet name, like an echo today,
Or the sound OF bell in the ages away,
To tell OF some dream Of the blest.
And our city so fair, and SO proud Of the name
OF Washington, close by yon stream,
Where the home Of the hero shines bright with his
fame,
While his monument stands like a llght house Of
fame,
Or the glory that comes in dream.
See yonder-in Baitmore-briSht TO appear,
The sailors white statue in place
Columbus send greeting to Washington here
The sailor would signal the hero 50 dear
With the light of the Past on each face.
Yes-here should the songs rise sweetest Of all,
And the signals shine brightest today.
While the watchmen assemble in yonder fair Hall,
In the name Of fair Freedom to stand and TO call
ANS well! TO the land far away.
And the sailors who sail, and the heroes who
fight
For the progress and march Of the race,
Tne forerunners Of One who will kindle the light,
Far over the seas, of His own kingdom in sight,
And the smile Of His glorious face.

Crowd poison" is the way physician desig-

with people, or even in the streets densely

authority, who can withstand the exhausted air
