EXPLORATIONS OF ORINoCOs.
The Wonderful Jungle aud Remark-
able Freaks of Nature.

From the ST. Paul Globe
S. \. Thompson, who went to Nene-
zuela last year in company with l.. o.
Dent and others to investigate the
OrinoCo country for the Farbault syn
diCate, was in the city yesterday on
business. To Mcssrs. Thompson and
Dart belongs the honor Of discovering
probably the highest cascade in the
world. The most exhaustive search in
all records has failed to disclose any
record Of the cascade heretofore.
The exploring party consisted Of Mr.
Thompson and Mr.. Dart and six or
eight native carriers. The party struck
out at right angles from the Orinoco
through the dense jungles. Mr..
Thompson said it was impossible to
make more than three or four miles
per day through these forests, as the
vines, trees and underbrush were so
closely intertwiued. The party were
compelled To use machetes to cut their
way through. At night each man slung
his hammock between the trees, COW
cred himself with "A stout mosquito
netting and slept soundly. During the
trip parrots and gayly-plumed birds
were seen by the millions. Only seven
snakes We're seen, which rather dis
proves the theory that the jungles Of
Venezuela are inhabited by reptiles.
The party continued through the
jungles for 100 miles, and one day the
sound of a mighty cataract came to
their ears. The exploring party was
then i'm the ImataCa mountains. The
sound of the falling water was pur-
sued, and in an hour or two the party
came in full view of one of the most
wonderful sights ever seen by man.
Coming from height which then
could only be guessed, was a mighty
torrent. 1t was following the precipit-
Gus sides of the mountain, which rose
at an angle of about 50 degrees. The
water followed multitude of channels,
and its rush Churned it into white
foam. Thompson says the cascade
looked like a great sheet Of animated
white lace, with intriCately-WOVen
meshes. After standing spellbound, the
party advanced to explore the cascade.
They climbed up the side to a height
of coo feet. hut still the waterfall tow
cred an equal distance above them
Mr.. Thompson believes the water falls

Carib fish, which are the most feroc-

The fish are not over fourteen inches
long. but they travel i'm schools. Their
teeth are three -cornered. Any living
object which attracts their attention
is attacked with fury. Mr.. Thomp-
son tells of an Indian woman who en-
tered the water to fill bucket. She
was attacked by the fish and reached
shore only 10 die in fifteen minutes
The flesh was literally torn from her

carib under his foot while he pointed
at the peculiar teeth with his finger

Hoped out from under Mr.. Darts foot

frequently have been known to bite
