Climbing Mont Blanc.

1t is an expensive as well as very
tiresome undertaking to ascend Mont
Blanc. 1t costs at least $50 per person,
for by the law of the Commune of
Chamouni each stranger is obliged to
have two guides and a porter. So far
as the danger is concerned, 1t Is now
reduced to minimum, but almost
every year the mountain claims
victim. Bad weather is the chief thing
feared by the guides, and so swiftly
does it come that cloudless sky may
in fifteen minutes turn to a binding
snow-storm which beats you to the
ground. Thus 1t was that some years
ago party of eleven persons persisted.
Five were found frozen stiff in the
snow; the other six still lie buried in
the Glacier des BLOSSOMS. Forty years
is the time allowed for the glacier to
yield them up in the valley below.
