A Grand Natural Gallery.

Prof. Forel of Morges, in the Canton
of Vaud, has discovered natural gal
lery which goes right across the lower
portion of the glacier of Arolla, in the
Eringerthal, in the Valais. 1t consti-
tutes natural grotto in the heart of the
glacier, and was explored to distance
of 25O metres (273 yards) by the pro-
fessor and some fellow members of the
Swiss Alpine Club from Geneva, Neu-
chatel and the Canton of Vaud. The
average width was from six to ten
metres, broadening out here and there
to fully twenty-five metres; the height
varied from two to three metres. At
the spot where the party stopped the
cavern divided into two galleries, the
exploration of which they reserved for
another time. The glacier was found
to rest direct on the ground erAer
