ON THE AMAZON

There are places on the Amazon
river where the low meadow like Dor.
ders are often undermined by the wa
ter until large pieces sometimes break
of and float down stream. This ac-
tion of the water Is seen on a small
scale on many banks where a swift
stream OF tide runs. There is a story
in st. Nicholas which says that such a
break occurred once on the bank of
the Amazon when party Of explorers
had gone out in a boat and left their
camp alone with a small boy. When
they returned the camp was gone and
after q few moments they saw float.
