The trade of the world . remain a comparatively inconsiderable partof her national wealth. Nature herself has set herlimitations with no uncertain hand. A serious lackof fuel and water are characteristic of her vastareas. The great meat- and bread-producingregions are in the eastern half, and in their physicalcharacteristics resemble western Kansas. To thewest, and extending to the foot-hills of the Cordil-leras, is the desert, which may be likened to the foot-hills of the Andes, conditions prevailsimilar to those which hold on the eastern slope ofthe Rocky Mountains. To the north the sub-tropicsare invaded, with a more plentiful rainfall and con-siderable forests of hard woods. To the south liesPatagonia, with its long reach down toward theAntarctic. A physical map of Argentina shows no such drain-age system as there is in the United States west ofthe Mississippi. There are no running streams,scarcely a gully, in a hundred miles. When it rains,the water stands in pools and lakes on the impervi-. Avenida de Mayo, the Pennsylvania Avenue of Buenos Aires.
