In tho new number of the journal of the German Geographical Society Professor Wilhelm Siovw announces the discovery that the source of tho River Amazon is not Lake Lauricocha, Peru, *as wms hitherto believed, but pn a. mountain called San Lorenzo, seventeen miles south of the lake, in the Cordillera de Huayhasch. Lake Lauricocha, out of which the Amazon flows in the form of ,a deep, rapid stream, is fed by three rivulets, thelarge:-l of which is the Rio de Lauricocha. This etream rises on Mount San Lorenzo, a snow-capped peak, and flows on its course, broken by a chain of lakes, into Lake Lauricocha. It is the longest of the streams flowing into the lake, and must therefore be regarded as the beginning of the mighty Amazon. "What's yonr daughter Kate doin'?"
