The River KonrO.

Tropical rivers vary greatly in vol
nme In the rainy season sweeping to
the sen In vast torrcntial floods and
near the end of the dry season flowing
slowly and only in the central and
deeper portions of their beds. The
Kongo, however, the largest river 10
Africa, rises and falls very slightly,
and Commander Cameron accounts for
this popularity, which was Mt one time
considered inexplicable, by tile ooserva-
ton that the basin of this great river
extends OH both sides of the equator,
and therefore one moiety of its tribu-
taries are in flood while the other are
at their minimum volume.
