WAVES OF WATER.

For over 1000 miles the Nile does
not receive a single tributary stream.
The Jordan Is the crookedest river
known. winding 213 miles in distance
of 60.
The Potomac river is only 300 miles
long and in its lower course Is rather
an estuary than stream.
The highest of all navigable rivers is
the Tsangpo, which flows for nearly
1000 miles at an elevation of from
1000 to $4,000 feet.
The Indus. the second sacred river of
India, is LOO miles long. Its waters
hnve always been considered almost as
holy as those Of the Ganges.
Three rivers as big as the Rhine
would just equal in volume the Gan

two Mississippis the Amazon.
When free from ice, the Yukon river
