TO him, urging the appointment OF n
other friend TO a position under the
government. To this letter the SEN

and received the following reply: MY

well for you to reserve your sarcasm

Largest Reservoir In the World.

In South as in North America
nature does her work on the grand
scale, and one of her noblest
achievements is the Amazon river.
Rising in the Andes, it flows across
the continent and discharges into
the Atlantic ocean at the equator.
The vastness of the area which it
drains, amounting to 100000
square miles, will be evident when
it is borne in mind that this is more
than the area of Russia in Europe
and Austria-Hungary. 1t has a
length of nearly 1000 miles, is nav
igable for fully 1900 miles from the
sea and is fed by numerous streams,
which in any other country would
be ranked as great rivers. In the
wet season, which lasts for about
eight months, its width varies from
5 miles to 400. No wonder the
Amazon has been called a gigantic
reservoir rather than a river.
