The United States was the first nation to recognize the indepeu deuce of the South American re publi f, and over them it raimal the aegis of the Monroe doctrine a I mop' SO years ago; yet, compared with tl e lOuropeaim, wo in America are profoundly ignorant about Soutti America. We know almost nothing of its scenic wonders, for we do not visit them; our share in its exploration is insignificant; what information the world has of its tlora nod fauna has hoen emit d hy Ku.openns mainly; our knowledge of its ethnology also conies from them, and the same may be said of the history of its pe >plo in the nineteenth century (from American sources almost no account of the rise of the Spanish republics can be had); and it is Kempean, and not American, capital t; lias opened up its wilderness, "ilt i's cities and railroads and established its industries, llv-w ninny Americana have seen Eicujuior h Avenue or Volcanoes, 20 of whose mighty crests exceed 15,000 -el, one of tiiom 20 000. utul thp'e others 10,000? How many Americans have heard of the Paulo Atf >nso falls on the ltio San Francisco, with their descent of 500 leet and volume of 150,000 cubic feet per second; or of the seven falls of Gtiavra, on the Parana, which in combination during the rainy season challenge tlie grandeur of Niagara? How many Americans are fatniliar witlt Gen. San Martin's achievement in making the pas-nj^e of the IX-paints pass, 12,700 feet above sea level, with an army of 5,000 men, infantry, cavalry ami artillery, in the war of independoneo in 1817? The Great St. Mernaid,over which Nrpoleou led an army, is 5,000 fret lower than I'spnlata. And writ in water, so far as most of us are concerned, is the heroic defense of Hie Paraguayans in " war of 1805-1870 with Brazil, gentl e and I'rnyuay, when v i>.

For the American naturalist, botanist, hunter and traveler no part of the world should have in ' at11 actions. 13rny.il alone has 1,'ioJ species of birds, many of ?pl 'idid irid scent plumage; no loss than 50 kinds of upep; 50 varietio8 of makes, including the water lion, which swallows horses and in mi; eight species of alligators. the yaeareguazu, 27 feel long; 21 hats, including the loathsome vampire tl'hylli.s > lorn aspoetium), two feet in wing Btretch, that kills cattle and fastens on sleeping children; and 1.800 distinct uuuiue creatures; 8,000 species of beetles have been recorded in Ecuador; in iiie oalambo it haB a snake which is domesticated and trained to patrol gardens, and in tho flnutero a bird whose s<>ng so resembles the sound of a flute as to deceive the practical ear. Among the apes of cquiiurial South Anicrica is the howler, which has developed n kind of tribal organization under a chief who lends a chorus of dismal music, unlike tlint of any other animal and heard for miles at dawn and sunset. A curiosity of the plant world in Peru, is the Tamal easpi, or rain tree, which arrows to a height of (JO feet and absorbs the humidity of the atmosphere in such abundance that in droughts water drips form its branches. So many strange things there are in the animal and vegetable kingdom of South Amelia that no prudent person would do more than suggest the wenlth of then;.?Ainslee's Magazine. ? Can the Earth Explode? We frequently hear the suggestion thai the earth may some time explode from the pent-up forces within, and we often read theories about expl sions of Heavenly bodies, but the earth can never explode fioni its own pent-up forces. Under our very feet at this moment, between the earth's solid crust and tho molten interior 4 I - * - -i ? -- mere ih a pleasure t'xoneu more than double thnt which in capable of being exerted by tlie most pow?rfn! dynnmile in the world. It in ? genetally nccepted and probably Irne theory that the whole interior of the earth is a molten mass of rocks and metals heavier than the crust above, and upon which the crust flon1s in a relatively thin layer. The thickness of the earth's crust within tho great continents is probably from fifty to one bunjdred miles. If we estimate the pressure exerted by the weight of one mile of earth and* rock nt 10,000 pounds, which is well within the truth, then iiity miies of earth \.? .lid a pressure of ntxmt nOO.Ub pounds, and one hundred miles would exert n pressure of 1,000,000 pounds to the jfevr" j square ii !?.
