NEXT TO THE AMAZON.
Rio de In Plata and It's Vast Basin
In south America.

In South America.
Tie river system of the Plate, or OF
the Rio de In Plata is one of the most
wonderful in tie world. The volume
of the stream Is greater than that OF
the Mississippi. 1t Is surpassed only
by the Amazon. 1t drains basin more
than half rs big MS the whole United
States and one which in fertility of
soil and salubrity of climate is only
surpassed by the basin of the Missis-
sippi, and it is n question whether it
has not more cultivated territory. Up
on it tens of millions of cattle and
sheep are pastured, and its wheat fields
compete with ours in the markets of
Europe. 1t has the most extensive
plains of the globe, and 1t is vast ex-
panse Of fairly good land.
1t Is Il white mans country. The ba-
sin of the Amazon Is tropical and mala-
rious. That of the Plate is largely in
the temperate zone. It's northern parts
are like Louisiana or Florida, and in
the south the summer climate Is as
temperate as that of our middle states.
1t is the Mississippi basin reversed,
the source of its rivers being in the
hot country, where there are coffee
and sugar lands and rubber trees. and
its mouth in the rather cool lands Of
Uruguay and the Argentine, noted for
their fields Of wheat and corn
The vast basin is formed in the
shape Of great horseshoe, with the
opening toward the Atlantic, the An
des and the strip Of highlands which
crosses Brazil from the back and up
per rim of the shoe, while the slightly
sloping plains Of Patagonia bound 1t
on the south. In It are included the
best OF the Argentine, all of Uruguay
and Paraguay and large portions Of
Brazil and Bolivia. The most of 1t has
been built up by the Parana or Rio de
la Plata system. and today these rivers
are still at their great work Of earth
building.
