"The New world is represented only
by the Amazon in South America and
the Mississippi and the Mackenzle in
North America, though if the Mis-
souri be oonsidered apart from the
Mississippi it would take rank in its
own right .30
"The longest single river Is. the Nile,
measuring some 4,000 miles from head
to mouth. The Nile is further distin-
guished in that it has no tributaries
for the last 1,500 milet- of Its course
to the sea. During this stretch its
waters are considerably reduced In
volume by evaporation and irrigation,
so that it grows smaller Instead of
larger toward Its mouth.

“Other African rivere. afnong the
length-scoring 12 ure the Niger and
the Congo, both fed by the tropical
rains of hot regions near the equator.
In a generl way they more nearly
resemble South America’s representa-
tive, the Amazon, than the gredt
streams of the colder northern conti-
nents. ,
“Of Asia’s six longest rivers, four
ate in Siherl, the Ob, Yenisei, and
Lena flowing north into the Acetic
ocenn and, the Amur emptying into an
arm of the Pacific. The other two
are the Yangtze and Hwang, or Y el-
low, river of China.
"These 12 river basins represent
the greatest variety of climate and
civilisation. The Amazon aud the
Congo flow through tush equatorial
jungles inhabited by birds of bril-
liant plumage, wild animals and sav-
age tribes, while the mouths of the
Yenisei and the Lena are-above the
northern timber line and their valleys
support the sparsest population. The
Mississippi and the Yangtze flow
through established, if divergent, civi-
lisations, with rich cities along their
banks like jewels.on a string. The
Nile is one of the.cradles of World
histbry; the Mackenzie is still a fron-
tier stream.
"From the point of view of a world
map five of the dozen rivers How up-
hill,’ that is, flow to the north. These
are the Nile, Mackenzie, Ob, Yenisei,
and Lena. The Mississippi and Niger
flow south. The , Amur,. Yangtze,
Hwang and Amazon run eastward.
Only the Congo points toward the

banks at intervals but the results are

“The Yangtze and the MIssssippl

because of their location in the Tem-

"From the earliest times these long
rivers' have furnished high roads toy

teriors. Nero sent an expedition to
discover the headwaters off the Nile
