TfE HIGHEsT MOUNTAIN IN
EUROPE

II seems that Mont Blame Is no
longer to be regarded as the monarch
of European mountains There ARE
strong II not conclusive reasons for be-
lieving that the highest peak in Europe
is really Mount Elburz, or Elbruz, In
the Caucasus. AS TO its superiority in
height over Mont Blanc there il no
question whMevcr, but doubt has been
expressed M TO its being within the
limits Of Europe. This would appear
to be set at rest, however, by the fact
that Mount Elbmz il on tho northern
or European side of the Caucasian
watershed, while the summit of the
Caucasus is almost universally rccog-
nized by gcographcls as the boundary
line between Europe aud Asia
We print this morning an interest
ing account Of the second ascent of this
lofty and remarkable mountain, which
was made in July last, by Mr.. +. G.
Grove of the English Alpine Club, with
three companions, one Of whom was
an experienced Swiss guide, BY an
accident to their barometer they were
unfortunately deprived of all means Of
accurately determining the altitude of
the summit. The mountain was first
ascendcd in July, 1868, by Mr..
Douglas W. Frcshfcld, accompanied
by two friends from England and u
guide from Chamounix. The account
Of their trip which he furnished to the
Royal Geographical Society contains
many facts Of interest
The point from which Elburz was
assembled on both occasions Is q hospita-
bic little village called Uruspich, in the
Baksan pass, 10,SO0 feet above the sea
level, and the height of the mountain,
as determined by Freshfeld, is Is, s,52G
feet so that the actual ascent from
the starting place to the summit in
wolves climb of but 1926 feet, The
altitude of Mont Blanc il variously
stated at from 1872 TO 1874 feet,
and the summit is about 1900 feet
above Chamomix from which village
the ascent is usually made. The peo-
pie Of the Caucasus call Mount Eburz,
Mingy Tau. In shape it is described
as u nattcned dome, somewhat rcscm-
bling an inverted tcacap; and although
it presents truly Alpine characteristics
in its glaciers, ice falls and snow slopes,
both parties agree that in good wealth.
cr it can be assembled without danger
or serious difficulty, by mount ,ineers
of fair ability. The rope and the ice
lake, however, are indispensable in
many places In the first expedition
Mr.. Frcshfcld once entirely disappear
ed in crevasse concealed by the over
lying snow, but was fortunately ropcd
to his companions who drew him forth
in safety. The high wind and intense
cold appear to be the most formidable
obstacles and the use Of fur clothing
is advised.
The base Of the topmost cone il
reached at height Of IL, 900 feet. The
final ridge, says Frcshfeld, "was broad
and easy with our hands in our pock.
cts and our ice axes under our arms
we tramped up until il eliminated in
n patch of rock with snow all round :
and they stood more than 300 feet
! above the loitiest peak of the Alps
The overpowerng grandeur Of the
scene from the summit is referred tc
by Mr.. Grove in terms Of the highest
admiration. II impressed his prede
ccssors as deeply. "The Pcnnincs from
