Worlds Greatest Cataract.

What IS set down as the greatest
cataract in the world is on the Iguazu
river, which partly separates Brazil
and Argentina. The precipice over
which the river plunges is 30 feet
high, that of Niagara being 1877 feet.
The cataract is 1923 feet wide, o.
about two and half times as wide as
Niagara. 1t is estimated that 100000
600 tons of water pass over Niagara
in an hour. A like estimate gives the
falls of Iguazu 10000, 900 tons.
