Seas of Ura8S.
Our westorn prairios, stretching as far
ss the eye o?u ro&oh, an? covsrccl with
t\U grass moving with a wave-liko mo
tion in tho wind, have of ton boon com
pared to soas. But our prairios dornoT
dosorvo the name of seas of grass as
woll as. do the groat llanos, or grass
plains, of South America. *
Tho llanos of- Vonezula occupy an
area whioh Humboldt estimated at 353,
000 square miles?a space equal to that
occupied by tho state of Maine, New
Hampshire.' '"Ferment, Massachusetts,
Hhodo Island, Oonuootiout, Now York
S and Pennsylvania, TheBO immense
j plains aro aB flat as the suifocc of a sea
iu a calm, nnd tho whole weary lcvol is
1 covered with tall, rank grass.
Wo aro told" that ono might travel
over this dead plain for over clovon
hundred miles, from tho delta of the
Orinoco river to the foot of tho Andee
of Pasto, and not encounter nn emi
nence ono foot in height. Yet thoro
really is ono slight inequality.1 This is
called a mesa, and is a gentlo, knoll
swelling veiy gradually to nu elovatt?ri
of a few yards. This slight elevation,
rising so gradually that tho oyo doen
not porcoivo it, 'b tho wator-?hod which
divides tho water that falls during tho
rainy season, Bending a part to tho
Bonth-east to feed tho Orinoco, and a
part to tho north-weBt to feed the
streams flowing to tho north.
During tho rainy season, from April
to the end of October, tno great seas of
grass becomo Boas of shallow water.
Tho tropical rains pour down in torrents,
and the swollen rivers overflow their
low banks, sending thoir floods over
hundreds of square miles of the vast
plain. Groat numbers of horses and
cattle, whioh have not been ablo to es
cape to tho slight elevation of the mesa
or wator-Bhed, aro drowned. "When the
waters subside, leaving behind a rich,
fertilizing sediment, the great plains
become beautiful with tho tall, flower
ing grasses of tho South American
plains, whilo in tho neighborhood of the
rivers a few fan-palm trees wave their
broad leaves, and delicate mimooas, or
sensitive plants, skirt tho river shores.
This is the period , during which the
llanos desejrve thoir h?mo of teas of
grass. '.Later in tho' season, when th?
thirBty earth and heated air have suc
ceeded in drinking up tho last remains
of the overflow of water, the llanos
might bo called the seas of dust, for
tho grass has been burnt to powdjr by
the intense dry heat, and the air is
filled witbxl?st raisod, says Maugim, in
his " Desert World," by onrronts caused
by loo.il differences of temperature;
oven when thoro is no wind. The dust
thus moved in stifling waves is sometimes
still farthor agitated by opposing winds.
Whon thoso meet, tho dust and sand are
caught up into onormcus pillars, with
broad top3 spreading out liko inverted
pyramids, whioh whirl through tho hot
air liko tho sand-spouts of tho Saharan
Dasert, or tho woter-Bpouts of the j
ocean. ;
The poor animals, which during the
rainy season woro in such peril of drown
ing, arc now, nftor a short poriod of hap
piucfis, exposed to equal danger and
wort?o pain, from tho dry waves of duBt
and an agonizing thirst, now eagerly,
thou, thoy listen for tho distant thnder,
horaldiug tho welcome, life-restoring
rain ! It comes ; and for awhile, before
the lloodH reach thoir height, tho vast
plain?, covered with verdure and fnr
ninhing food for thousands of happy
animals, becomo again tho gentle wav
ing sons of grass.
" You have a pleasant homo and a
bright tiro-side, with happy children
sitting around it, haven't you ?" paid
the judge. " Yes, sir," said Mr. Thomp
son, who thought ho saw a way out of
tho difficulty. " Woll," said tho judgo,
if tho happy children sit nroun I tho
cheerful fireside until you return, they
will stay there just 43 days, as I aball
have to send yon up for that time."?
