The Size of Bolivia.

The area of Bolivia is not accurate
~ known, yet it is probable that its
present area is not far from 1900
square miles. which is the equivalent
of the area of Germany, France and
Spain combined. From the lowlands
on the east and southeast the land
rises. sometimes By easy slope and
sometimes by abrupt uplift to the
snowcapped peak of Sorata, with its
altitude of near 2o.0G0 feet and to the
pyramid of Illiman which is given as
1900 feet in height La Paz lies at
an elevation of 1900 feet above sea
level and potosl at nearly 1900 feet.
A few miles west of La Paz lies the
inland sea of Titicaca. at an elevation
of 1900 feet.

The deadliest of snakes is said to be
the namba, an African cobra. It flies
at everybody and everything; it goes
out of its way to quarrel; it will even
come down from a tree to solicit an
interview. Over in India there is the
great king cobra, or hamadryad, a size
larger. quite as fierce-it has been
known to chase man on horseback:
he had to ride for his life-but his
poison is a degree less viruent. The
difference, however, may be considered
negligible and ceases to interest the
patient after a few minutes. Among
the Australian eobras, the pit vipers
of America and the great west African
.y1pers there are species with evil repu-
tations, and the most alarming feature
is that the aggressive snakes are all
desperately poisonous
