for ninety y-eight mile out at sea. The

has so filled up the channel near

The farmer and mechanic., 1915-06-01

The water continues muddy all the
way from Buenos Aires to where the
ParaSuay flows in. There is so much
mud that it has built up tens of thou
sands of islands. The channels
through which the steamer goes are
everywhere about as wide as the Mis-
| sissippi proper, but they wind their
way in and out among these islands.
| There are times when you cannot see
| the mainland at all, and other times
| when you behold only hazy line of
| blue over these low eXpanSeS Of green,
| the blue being the highlands of the
| opposite shore. Now you seem to
be far out on sea of liquid mud, now
you are close to the islands, and now
near the shore Of the mainland. The
country is SO low that the islands
seem to be floating, and in flood times
there are really floating islands, con-
sisting of great masses of vegetation
that have been torn by the river from
the highlands of Brazil and are NOV

the islands are steep. They have beer

Many Of these islands of the Parana
are inhabited. This is especially so Of
those near Buenos Aires. where hum
dreds of thousands Of acres have been
taken up by fruit and vegetable plan
tatiOnS. This region is known as the
Tgre. The islands are SO close to-
gether that they seem one great body
of land, separated only by narrow ca
nails. There are villas on many of
| them, and the place is also pleasure
| resort, and one Of the gambling hells
for the city. Farther upstream many
| islands are devoted to pastures. You
see cattle feeding upon them, and ami
mails are ferried over from the main
land in times Of drought. The islands
are as fertile as the valley Of the Nile.
They will raise rice, and it is believed
that they might furnish enough Of
that grain to feed the whole country,
and give some for export. Altogether
they contain thousands of acres, but
