these south branches Of the Amazon
he net with rapids OF respectable pro-
portions
Mr.. FYah, who returned by another
stream entering the Arinos, and so
went on to the Tapajos, met with some
lively rapids, In one OF which his native
dugout canoe upset and he nearly
lost his life. He afterward got a
canvas canoe, which was made IN
America. and which had bsen left
behind. and with this he had no further
trouble. In navigating violent rivers,
specially designed boats should be
used. provided with watertight COM
partments. where the goods can be
stored, and every man should wear
life Jacket whenever on the river.
There Is no more reason in tempting
Providence by wrong equipment on
a tempestuous river than by doing so
I'm the Arctic regions without proper
dog teams or food. From what / have
heard the only error I can see in the
coloners expedition is that proper
boats were not provided or constructed
for the work on these rivers. Boats
for such work must float when full or
water, with all the cargo and the crew
in place. No other kind OF boat Is
adequate.

SPECUlATIONS AS TO THAT
RIVER OF DOUBT.

80 far as l can ascertain, Colonel
Roosevelt has not said that his River
OF Doubt is unknown for thousand
miles. but rather that he believes 1t I'M
known for a considerable distance, and
that he travelled a thousand miles
across this region. Between the upper
waters Of the Tapajos and Of the Ma
deira | should say that there Is ample
room for a stream several hundred
miles long, for more than one in fact,
which has never before this been de-
scribed by a white man. Colonel Rom
don, who knows the region probably
as we'll as any white man does, seems
TO acquiesce In Colonel Roosevelt's i'm
preston that the River OF Doubt is a
new river so far as the European world
is concerned. And these rivers, falling
down from the high region OF Southern
Brazil, called Matte Crosse. to the
trunk Of the Amazon. which is practi-
cally sea level, must necessarily have
considerable declivity, and declivity in
a river produces wild currents and
stiff rapids. II he went down any Of

gress and the schools and 1t was
accurate enough.

who has done exploring knows that
maps are often wrong in a new
country; as a matter OF fact, Few
maps are wholly correct even in sup
posedly well mapped areas. The world,
outside of Germany. at any rate. does
not seem TO care much whether a map
is absolutely correct or not.
What. then. must be the case in
Brazil, a country OF more than 5000
GOO square miles, with a population
not three times that Of the City OF
New York. mostly spread along its sea-
board, large part OF its area domi-
mated by the most tremendous river in

There are others who agree with Mr..
Fiala and Colonel Roosevelt. They
are men whose appreciation OF the
dangers Of such a journey is based
on experience, and who are sufficiently
versed in geography to speak with
some authority. Such is F. S. Dellen-
baugh. who was a member Of the party
of Major Powell. leader of the first and
second expeditions through the Colo
RADIO Canon. Mr.. Dellenbaugh was for
several years librarian of the Ameri-

fashion:
Prom the tenebrous depths Of un-

IT satirizes Colonel Roosevelt's ac-

known river, reported by him TO be
thousand miles long. 1T Is not only
a thousand miles long. but has rapids
on a scale which would have blanched
the cheek of Livingstone or Stanley.
There are evidently phases of this
particular expedition across the ele-
waited regions forming the southern
slope of the watershed Of the Amazon
with which these critics are unfamiliar.
This is indicated in what Anthony

writer. He had been reading some of

is said TO have made the journey
across South America, should criti-

amateur way. Colonel Roosevelt made

M this week the reporters will

how rivers cross each other without
mixing their waters, and pull them
selves over the mountain chains by
their bootstraps. According to one
noted +. r. G.. s., Sir Clements Mark

Not only does Sir Clements break
forth in London, but he was closely

and asserting that the trip was made
most comfortably in steam launch.
