CHARM OF VICTORIA FALLS.
Visitor 6hows In What Way They Sur
pass Those of Niagara.
How the Victoria falls impress a
visitor is recorded in Miss C. W.
Mackintosh's Journal of a rcoimt tout'
in South Africa. Miss Mackintosh
-ays: "We perceived no hint or the
falls, only secini? boforo us a screen of
rocky-based, bright preen forest, ap
parently closir.K in tho river, like a
lake. Ten minutes' walk brought us
to the camp, on a cliff which literally
overhung the porge. and we saw the
outaract. thundering down into the ,
Boiling Pot at our feet. The walls t
of the chasm, 400 feet hih, were ,
spanned by a rainbow. The charm of j
these falls lies not '.a the one over
whelming crash as at Niagara, but in
the cumulative efreet of vprlous
glimpses, the matchless beauty of t,K'
surroundings and the strangeness of
tho whole sitting, but. chiefly in the
columns of spray, called tho 'thunder
ing smoke' and in the ever-changing
rainbows. The mile-wide river sud
denly drops Into a yawning crack In
tho ground, stretching right across the
stream at right, angles to the banks
a faamirfj trough, qulto narrrnv, of
whvli the walls rose 400 feet abuve
the surfate of tho water."
