ABOUT VENEZUELA.
Some Interesting Items About the
Storm Center in south America.

Here is an item about Venezuela
given in letter from Caracas that
will be interesting:
When the Spaniards first came
they called the country Little Venice
= the Spanish for which is Vene-
zuela-because they found the ma
tives dwelling in villages OF houses
built over the water and resting un-
on piles. Even to this day the
aborigines follow tn a great extent
this style of living. Lake Maracai
BIO and other large sheets of fresh
water being planted, as one might
say, with assemblages of huts on
Suits, so that the effect is highly
picturesque.
In some respects Venezuela is the
most interesting country in the
world. 1t is larger than France
and Germany put together, having
greater area than the states OF
Texas, Colorado, Idaho, and Cali
foruia combined The best watered
region of the earth, it has over ! ,00O
navigable rivers, the mightiest OF
them being the Orinoco, which is
one OF the biggest rivers on the
globe. The delta of the Orinoco is
nearly as large as that of the Nile,
taking in 200 miles of coast line.
