    "verified_text": "chaco, a territory of northern argentina, part of a large district known as the gran chaco, bounded n. by the territory of formosa, e. by paraguay and corrientes, s. by santa fe, and w. by santiago del estero and salta. the bermejo river forms its northern boundary, and the paraguay and parana rivers its eastern; these rivers are its only means of communication. pop. (1895) 10,422; (1904, est.) 13,937; area, 52,741 sq. m. the northern part consists of a vast plain filled with numberless lagoons; the southern part is slightly higher and is covered with dense forests, occasionally broken by open grassy spaces. its forests contain many species of trees of great economic value; among them is the _quebracho_, which is exported for the tannin which it contains. the capital, resistencia, with an estimated population of 3500 in 1904, is situated on the parana river opposite the city of corrientes. there is railway communication between santa fe and la sabana, an insignificant timber-cutting village on the southern frontier. in the territory there are still several tribes of uncivilized indians, who occasionally raid the neighbouring settlements of santa fe. chaconne (span. _chacona_), a slow dance, introduced into spain by the moors, now obsolete. it resembles the passacaglia. the word is used also of the music composed for this dance--a slow stately movement in 3/4 time. such a movement was often introduced into a sonata, and formed the conventional finale to an opera or ballet until the time of gluck. chad [ceadda], saint (d. 672), brother of cedd, whom he succeeded as abbot at lastingham, was consecrated bishop of the northumbrians by wine, the west saxon bishop, at the request of oswio in 664. on the return of wilfrid from france, where he had been sent to be consecrated to the same see, a dispute of course arose, which was settled by theodore in favour of wilfrid after three years had passed. chad thereupon retired to lastingham, whence with the permission of oswio he was summoned by wulfhere of mercia to succeed his bishop jaruman, who died 667. chad built a monastery at barrow in lincolnshire and fixed his see at lichfield. he died after he had held his bishopric in mercia two and a half years, and was succeeded by wynfrith. bede gives a beautiful character of chad. see bede's _hist. eccl._ edited by c. plummer, iii. 23, 24, 28; iv. 2, 3 (oxford, 1896); eddius, _vita wilfridi_, xiv., xv. edited by j. raine, rolls series (london, 1879).",
