sequlbo, British Guiana. The peipendlcular height of the fall is 741 feet, or
nearly five times that of Niagara. The width varies from 350 feet In the dry
season to 400 feet in the rainy season, and (he depth of water passing over
similarly ranges from a few feet to 20 feet. Even in very dry seasons, the
river has a depth of 3b feet about a quarter of a mile above the fall. The
face of the fall is of sandstone with a capping of harder conglomerate, it is
suggested that the falls may be used to provide power, and it is pointed out
that the chief fall alone would supply 2,125,000 horsepower.

of a storm and overcast night, shot nt

following the sale of the furniture of
the hotel three months ago. There
was no bidding and consequently no

Albert Chancellor, the auctioneer,

tho hotel as "a fur-fmucd hostelry, a
palace of pleasure crowning tho hill

"The view from this spot Is," he

In the world. You can motor down

"Yes," Interposed one of the com

The hotel had cost $700,000 nnd

visional bid the auctioneer miggosted
the "trifling sum1' or $150,000, und
then $l'Jo.000, but there wero no offers
and the Item was declared not sold.

In the '(iOs and '70s the Stnr and

Thackeray mentioned It more than

Richard Feverol talk to Rellona there,
