+. !: FALLS. OF IGUAZU.
Sc.t,, Arncr:cs1 coect3o!e Rivalin3
fi1gars'1 Grandeur.

In the l.cart of South America,
at tie meeting place Of three repub-
lies, Brazil. Argentina and Para
quay, nature las chosen the site for
masterpiece CT scenic grandeur to
be compared only to the mighty Nj
agara i'll majesty and pronounced by
some Of the few travellers who have
seen it to be even greater than its
North American counterpart. The
falls of Iguaza occur at the junction
of Iguazu river with the Upper Pa
rama, in a territory famous as the
original locality of the Jesuit mis-
sions, established in the sixteenth
century, the ruins Of which may still
be seen by those who visit the falls.
About twelve miles above the
falls the river Iguazu makes sharp
bend, almost at right angles, giving
them greater extent and more va
ried character than those of Niaga-
IA, which to some degree they re-
ccmble. AS the river makes the
sharp bend already mentioned the
main volume of water rushes around
the inner bank and is discharged
into a long, narrow gorge, at one
point making a clear plunge of 210
feet. Not all the volume of the riv-
er is received at this place, however,
the rest of the water running out
past it into the wide elbow formed
by the bend and circling along the
farther shore among rocks and is
lands before reaching the edge of the
cliff, over which the descent is made
in two great leaps Of a hundred feet
each in vast semicircle of 5000
feet. The total length of Iguazu
falls, if measured, at the upper
edge of the cliff, through their
broken contour, including interest
ing islets, is twice as great as that
Of Niagara, including the intersec-
tion of Goat island.
The double fall Of Iguazu is the
most striking feature of>the cata-
ract, the rocky shelf or platform
that divides the leap being in some
places more than fifty yards wide
and in others only few feet.
The scenery surrounding Iguazu
falls is in peculiar harmony with the
solemn grandeur of the cataract and
its varied character The roar of
the waterfall is more impressive for
the solitude of the spot and the
eternal silence that reigns in the
dense forests that mark its border,
into which the white man has
scarcely penetrated, For several
miles before the falls are reached
the river is q mass of huge frowning
bowlders and Whirlpools, and the
first view of the great cataract is
often disappointment, from the
fact that it must be seen from many
different points to be appreciated in
all its bcaaty,-National Geograph-
ic Magazine.
