THE ORINOCO RIVER 1S WONDER STREAN May Be Compared o the Missour | of South America Washington, D, C., April 15.—~The | Orinoco river, which an American party is to explore within the next few : wonths with the aid of ‘an airplane, | lends itself well to ths modern meth- od of travel, says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C. hea dqguarters of the National Geographic society, This is | ecause, though in the tropics, the river is hordered on one side by ex- tensive level prairles instead of by impenctrable forests such as those _ through which the Amazon flows, “In a way,” says the bulletin, “it is | as if the Missouri were heing explored | where it flows through the Great | P'lains of ths west: but in such a com- parison it must be kept in mind, of | course, that Venezuela is a tropieal | country and that the grasses and | shrubs of its llanos are ranker than those on which our buffalo used to browse, | Cattle Helped Freedom : | “Just as great herds of bison roam- | ed our prairies, so vast droves of half wiid caftle covered the level Ilanos | north of the Orinoco in Venezuela's colonial days. These cattle played an | important part in making independ- ence possible in Spanish speaking | Sonth America; for the armies of lib- | eration and their guerilla torces lived on their meat, These inroads almost exterminated the herds, however, and it is only in recent years that the cattle industry hias shown indications of regaining its tormer importance, “If it were not hard by the Amazon, mightiest river of the earth, the Ori- roco would stand out as a tremen- dous stream; for, judged by the total volume of water which it yearly empties into the sea, it is probably one of the half-dozen greatest rivers of the world, Tn length the Orinovo cannot compete with other great streams; the distance from its source to its mouth is about 1,600 miles. Tt has many huge tributeries, however, which give it a high rank in length of navigable waters, about 4,500 miles, Has Huge Delia “The river finds its wa Atlantic through a hvge delta cover- ing some 7,000 square miles, The first introduction which the river nav igator gets to the Orinoco, leads him to class it as a second Amazon: for on its low, meist delta forest growths run riet, One sails bhetween the mas sive green walls formed by rank- zrowing strands of thousands of ram- hling vines, “Above the deita, however, dred or more miles inland, the screen. inta the a hun iag effect of coastal mounta into play, and the plains of Nanos be- Lven in the prairie region trees from win ringe the river banks, but back the stream, where the dry seasons make themseives felt, only little champs of stunted palmg and hos treak the monotony of the gra covered plaine.
