as men. No more perfect physical speci

II will try to tell you Of some OF tho

covery OF a plant called by tho natives
"Caapi," from which they make stimulsnt,
narcotic and anaesthetic in one, possessing
properties unknown by medical science IN
any other drug. Next In importance comes
the capture OF certain DEMONSTRATING In
sects, the study Of which may revolutionize
the serum treatment for certain infections.
Before quoting DR.. Rusby upon all these
things, let me explain why It Is that South
America holds this remnant OF the world as
q. II was millions OF years ago. Along most OF
its coast for some distance inland the CONT.
nent has advanced geologically to about
the end Of the Pleistocene era, say, 100000
years ago. AS you 60 further you reach
sections where the Miocene ora exists;
next you get back into the Eocsne era OF
two or three million years ago. There are
also sections still In the Upper Cretaceous
and even o-Carboniferous-times
Why does science recognize such an ex-
traordinary condition Just south Of us!
The answer Is simple. biologists find that
when the last glacial age retreated the
coast line OF South America kept gradu-
ally rising, closing the mouths Of the huge
rivers and banking UP the fresh waters for
several thousand miles inland, and caus-
ing them to spread out over forest and
plain In immense areas. Every rainy
period enormous floods raise the water
something like forty feet on the average.
SO that the great rivers have sufficient
force to dredge their mouths deeper, and
thereby keep them open sufficiently for
navigation. Fortunately for the country,
the dense jungle vegetation and plants in
land act to hold the mighty waters back,
so that seepage outward to the sea is slow,
lasting all through the dry periods, other
wise the mighty wall OF water would make
coastal habitation impossible.
SO long as these swamp areas exist,
South America cannot evolve into the Age
Of Man, because OF the terrific humidity
they cause, which holds the lands down
into the Miocene Age, with Miocene AMI
mails and plants fourishing. And when
"swamps" are spoken Of In South Amer
lea they don't mean what Americans are
thinking OF when the term Ia used here.
On that archaic continent swamp means
an inundated Jungle area covering, perhaps,
a quarter Of million square miles. The
Amazonas swamp, for Instance, Is as large
rs Oregon, Washington and Idaho COM
bined, an area Of over 100000 square miles.
The biggest sample we have In this coun-
try Is the Everglades OF Florida but even
that has been considerably dwindled by
artificial drainage.
There are, therefore, in South America,
few reptiles, mammals. birds or plants Ike
