BRAZIL is so 1111 ?it is it quurt?M* of it inlllion square miles lurger tliari the United States?iind Is made up of so many diverse regions that the average visitor can do little more tliiiu acquaint himself with a limited area. I Wit modern trav el methods huV? at least greatly stretched the area that can he cov ered |?y a hrlef tour. Now many trav eiers from the United States to South America go Uy airplane. skimmihg along over the Atlantic coast of the great repuhllc. The lirst familiar feature of Bru/.il timt the air traveler .tecs Is the Amazon. At its mouth the hig river, ISP tulles wide between Its capes, colors the sea and dilutes Its salt for "?<> miles otTshore. .Men In small fishing hoats, venturing out of sight of land, figure how far out they are by tuz! iug the water. The rise of the river near I'ara in flood times is often ."<) feet. Then vast areas of forest are completeh ilium dated. Snow In the Andes begins to melt in August, hut this delta does not feel the rise till six months later. With a valley eovering 'J.T'JU.OOO square miles, and containing about l?r>,(xH) miles of navigable water com mitnications, it is easy to see why It takes the big river six months to rise - and sj\ months to fall. Also, the slope of the vast valley from the root of the Amies to'the Atlantic is only about 'Jul) feet. This is why tides from the sea arc felt up the Amazon for 'too miles. Sometimes three or four tides are riding the river at once, like hig waves far apart. Looking at maps, one observes the Ama/.on delta does not run out to sea on land bridges, as do the Nile, the Lunges and the Mississippi. It ' carries prodigious loads, of nutd. and geologists say its delta <> extended .'kxt miles past its present months. Hut now the oeeaic Is rapidly eating into the continent. Ami from the air you see how this goes on. Bv an odd freak of nature, the sea is driving inland huge wttvvs of white sand. These ?hig ilnm-i in?mrrrn?places?lltlVi* htiried the trees. I-'.lsew here you can -see dead trees, once covered with sand and killed, and then exposed again to the advancing sea waves?washing t hem out by t lie foot S. Rush of the Amazon Bore. And the Para, or'soutti coast, of the delta, ,\ou notice, is higher und' drier than the coast 'of Brazilian (Itijana. north of the Amazon delta. Around Maracu island and the mouth of the Araguary river tlte famous Amazon bore is at Its best. When it runs in its roar can he heard six miles Its speed is ten to tlfteen knots an hour, and anything in its path is swept away. Look down on all these mini hunks, rip tides and shallows, and yon see why skippers dread navigation in these waters, Changes in coast outlines ate constant; shoals and tlats form only to bo washed away.
