SOME GREAT RIVERS.—­From Haswell’s little work for engineers and mechanics the following figures are taken, showing the lengths of the largest rivers on the various continents: 

      Name:  Miles.

      EUROPE. 
      Volga, Russia:  2,500
      Danube:  1,800
      Rhine:  840
      Vistula:  700

      ASIA. 
      Yeneisy and Selenga:  3,580
      Kiang:  3,290
      Hoang Ho:  3,040
      Amoor:  2,500
      Euphrates:  1,900
      Ganges:  1,850
      Tigris:  1,160

      AFRICA. 
      Nile:  3,240
      Niger:  2,400
      Gambia:  1,000

      SOUTH AMERICA. 
      Amazon and Beni:  4,000
      Platte:  2,700
      Rio Madeira:  2,300
      Rio Negro:  1,650
      Orinoco:  1,600
      Uruguay:  1,100
      Magdalena:  900

      NORTH AMERICA. 
      Mississippi and Missouri:  4,300
      Mackenzie:  2,800
      Rio Bravo:  2,300
      Arkansas:  2,070
      Red River:  1,520
      Ohio and Alleghany:  1,480
      St. Lawrence:  1,450

The figures as to the length of the Nile are estimated.  The Amazon, with its tributaries (including the Rio Negro and Madeira), drains an area of 2,330,000 square miles; the Mississippi and Missouri, 1,726,000 square miles; the Yeneisy (or Yenisei, as it is often written) drains about 1,000,000 square miles; the Volga, about 500,000.  In this group of great rivers the St. Lawrence is the most remarkable.  It constitutes by far the largest body of fresh water in the world.  Including the lakes and streams, which it comprises in its widest acceptation, the St. Lawrence covers about 73,000 square miles; the aggregate, it is estimated, represents not less than 9,000 solid miles—­a mass of water which would have taken upward of forty years to pour over Niagara at the computed rate of 1,000,000 cubic feet in a second.  As the entire basin of this water system falls short of 300,000 square miles, the surface of the land is only three times that of the water.
