rapids below the falls. On the way
down he passes through grove OF
bamboos which curve from each side
of the path and meet and overlap in
an artistic archway overhead He
climbs down rough ladders and he
stumbles over slippery stones.
Or half way down the hillside one
can diverge to the right and view
Dos Hermanos 1.-TWO Brothers) Falls,
picturesque twin cataracts, foaming
white in a setting of tropical green.
Nearby, from a palm crowned plat
form, one looks up to the precipice
edge, where a tiny lost and wander
ing rivulet drops into a fissure in the
precipitous rock, and, creamy white
in the sun, disappears in the black
ness of the abyss beneath.
A little later we leave the main
path and scramble down the almost
precipitous hillside over sharp and
rough and slippery boulders, to the
ruination of clothes and skin and
temper, until we come to the waters
edge of the San Martin rapids nearly
opposite the projecting sand point of
San Martin Island, to which Ponce
and his boat now transport us. Ponce
is our efficient guide, Argentine, In
dian, keen observer of animals, birds,
fishes and flowers, an authority on
distances, heights and names, expert
canoeist and hunter, and in his leisure
moments a collector and lover of tur-
ties eggs, an epicurean dish for
those who have acquired the taste for
them, but too strong a meat for the
uninitiated.

projecting sand beach, we have strik-

ed in spray and mist that the effect
from this viewpoint is of one great
fall, foaming and raging with in
creasing intensity as it descends.
Looking down from here one gets
in a single view the semi circular
sweep of double. cataracts from
Bossetti to the remotest line of
white water or spray of San Martin.
This section of Iguazu suggests
the curving sweep and wide range of
visibility of Niagara; just as the
Devils Throat, deep, narrow canyon,
with it's high falls enveloped in
clouds of spray, suggests a section
of Victoria Falls of the Zambesi.
Iguaxu Photographs.
MOST of the photographs labeled
1guazu Falls are of San Martin,
and are taken either from this view
point or from some other on this hill
side in the immediate vicinity.
The characteristic Identifying fea-
ture of San Martin Fall in the photo
graphs is a rock mass of curious
shape projecting from the platform
which separates the upper and lower
falls and outlined against the white
ness of the upper fall. In shape the
rock is as section of q half-fallen
truncated column, suggesting stub
of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
The views from this hillside of the
emi-circular sweep of San Martin,
with a continuation including San
Martin Island, the rapids of both San
Martin and DEVILS Throat, and over
the green of San Martin Island the
white band of the top of Union Fall
and the cloud spray rising above it
from Devils Throat, furnish the only
approach to a comprehensive pano-
ramic view of Iguazu Falls that is
possible.
Devils Throat Canyon is too mar
row and too filled with spray to per-

great height and volume OF Union
Fall, or to combine a satisfactory
view of the canyon with one of San
Martin semi circle.
Other interesting excursions afoot
can be made from the hotel.

of San Martin Island. and the re-
united Iguazu rushes in deep narrow
rapids to its junction with the Alto
Parana, 3 miles below.
On the top of precipitous eminence
facing the San Martin section of
Iguazu. is built the Argentine Hotel.
On top of a still higher hill on the
Brazilian side of the river one sees
the Brazilian Hotel. Between the two
hills flows in rapids below the falls
the reunited Iguazu, hidden from
sight in the dense forests which
clothe the sides of the two hills and
the river valley.
Hotel View of Falls.
OUR first view of the falls is. from
~ the broad veranda of the Argen-
tine Hotel, a one-storied, red-roofed
structure, covering three sides of
rectangle, and perched on the leveled
top of high, steep. wooded hill, fac
ing San Martin Fall and Island.
Our view is through the open quar-
ter of the hotel rectangle over the
cleared and leveled court which Man
ager Oscar Adam is, with infinite
pains, converting into a garden of
palms and ee-ferns.
Far off on the horizon line to the
left we see the tops of some of the
Devils Throat Falls-the white band
of Floriano, the narrow streaks of
the series of unnamed Brazilian cata'
racts, the white cloud of spray half
hiding, half-revealng the curving
top of Union Fall. Next the eye
catches the broad green band of San
Martin Island, intervening between
the two sections of Iguazu. And
lastly, closer at hand, the eye-pleas-
ing semi-circle of the upper section
of San Martin Fall and cataracts
The hotel view of these samples, as
it were, of both sections of the falls
suggests the wonders hidden behind
intervening rock and forest and
arouses keen curiosity to see close
at hand and in detail the artistic and
spectacular effects of water dashing
over a precipice, which are thus sug-
gested.
Three Fine Viewpoints.
THERE are broadly three groups of
u falls views: % Those from the
Argentine Hotel hill, from points to
which the hotel owner has con-
structed trails; (2) intimate views of
Devils Throat Chasm and Union and
the Brazilian Falls, from point on
the edge of the falls precipice in
Argentina facing Union Fall, and go
views from the Brazilian side of the
Iguazu. including that from the
Brazilian Hotel.
The so-called hotel hill, steep
everywhere, precipitous in spots, is
really continuation of the curving
semi-circle of San Martin Falls preci-
pice. 1t is at one heel of a partly
Strengthened horseshoe facing San
Martin main fall at the other heel.

end of Devils Throat chasm descend
ing from a small, high rock at the
edge of the precipice, is a tiny rivulet
which drops from one BASIN shaped
shelf to another, and finally dissi-
pates itself in spray in its final drop
to the bottom. One of these shelves
near the top resembles carved
stone bathtub, adorned with green
ornamentation. Indeed, all the
watered area of the precipice face is
decorated artistically with the green
of moss and many grasses.
IGuazu's Highest, Finest Fall.
HERE begins the broad, curving,
continuous band of Union Fall
1t is not regular in outline, however
10 commences with a straight-faced
narrow, very high fall, which makes
single leap to the foot of the
precipice, it's waters overlapping and
merging with the rest of Union Fall,
which through a slight erosion at
the very edge of the precipice drops
few feet to an invisible platform
before making its single plunge of
over 2OO feet to the bottom of the
chasm.
Here Iguazu Falls find their great
est depth of descent, estimated to be
greatest volume. The spray cloud of
Devils Throat, while not nearly so
high or so thunderous as that of the
tormented Zambesi-"the smoke that
sounds"-is highly impressive. Myri-
ads of swallows dart to and fro in
the spray cloud. Rainbows of brill
liant coloring are almost always visible.
AS the wind blows the spray mo-
mentarily aside glimpses are had of
hh II
canyon as they rush down toward
the open end of the narrow gorge.
Temporary dissipation of the spray
also shows to the observer from this
viewpoint the other Brazilian falls,
the series of beautiful unnamed small
cataracts and fine Floriano. The lat
ter cataracts are not like Union Fall
in making a single drop to, the bot
tom of the chasm, but are like the
San Martin group, in that they make
two drops. with a narrow intervening
platform to break the fall.
OF for Brazil.
TO-DAY we travel to Brazil to view
the falls from that side of the
Ieuazu. Formerly the difficulties and
tfme-wasting obstacles in the way of
seeing the falls from both the Ar
gentine and the Brazilian sides in the
same visit were so great that hardly
any one of the earlier visitors en-
joyed both viewpoints. AS a result
of seeing the falls solely from Argen-
tina or Brazil, in a distinctively Ar
gentine or Brazilian environment and
through Brazilian or Argentine spec
tacles, the meager descriptions of the
falls by these earlier visitors were
apt to be one-sided and prejudiced,
as well as inadequate.
Today we leave Argentina after
breakfast, lunch in Brazil and are
back in Argentina for dinner. And in
the meanwhile we have enjoyed DELHI
crate inspection of the falls from all
the worthwhile Brazilian points that
are accessible.
An Exciting Voyage.
AT our boat landing above the
falls we take our canoe, or boat,
and under Ponce's skillful padding.
polling and pilotage we cross the half
mile of rapids above the falls, which
at this stage of water separates Bra
gil from Argentina. We shoot with
currents; we crawl against currents;
we dodge projecting rocks, some times
scraping them; we hug the sides of
little islets, dashing for areas of
safety from one 10 another. We note

where Brazil and Argentina
come together with Paraguay
i close at hand, the Iguazu River
leaps from the great Brazilian
central plateau over a preclpice near
ly half as high again as that of Mag
ara.
In falling it distributes its waters
in two main falls and at low water a
hundred cataracts, over an area OF
contour sweep, following the preci-
pice edge and including intersecting
islands, more than twice as great as
that of the falling Niagara, including
Goat Island.
Iguazu's Adventurous Career.
THE Iguazu personified has had an
adventurous and picturesquely
diversified career. 1t was born and
took its start In life so miles from tn"
Atlantic Ocean. II il had faced and
moved eastward. after brief span
OF life within few miles OF Its
headwaters, it wou have merged Its
tiny stream in the great ocean. 1t
would have died "aoO.rin'. But II
faced westward. Il went west and
grew up with the country, as Horace
Greeley advised. II pushed vigorously
over the Brazilian central plateau
increasing in size and growing in
strength with every mile of its west
ern course.
After 440 miles of separate distinc-
tive existence, it merged with Alto
Parana, and, as part of the Parana
and then of La Plata, flowed ma
jestically, after over 100 miles OF
long and useful life, into the great
ocean. Its waters, starting in Brazil,
divided Pra zil and Argentina, then
Argentina and Paraguay, then tra-
versed Argentina and finally howed
past Uruguay on the way TO the At
lantic. Its waters course described a
distorted semi -circle-a vast irreSu-
lar loon.

I thought Of spring last night az
Caleb Mills Hall during the concert
of the Cleveland Orchestra, with
Nlkolai Sokoloff conducting. There
is a freshness and an inspiration
which seems TO be lacking in some
of the other orchestras. Orchestras
go by types. One expects a grand
string ensemble with certain or
chestras. The Cleveland Orchestra
comes to the front with the artistry
of blending the brass with the
movement Of a great symphony.

hesitancy of attack on the part Of
