ward character has been determined
In a great degree by the substances OF
which they are composed. The granite
mountains are the loftiest upon the
surface Of the globe, and present the
most rugged and broken aspect, with
very precipitous sides. Those OF gneiss
and mica slate are not so wild and If
regular, nor are their declivitics so
steep; and those composed of second
airy formations-sandst limestone
and greywacke-are of inferior eleva-
ton compared with the former, and the
decliVities are more gentle. Humboldt
has pointed out a striking difference
between the great mountains OF the
Eastern and Western continents. Mont
Blanc, and others of the higher Alps,
lift their granite heads far above the
clouds, and. with the Himaluya, form
the loftiest points of the Old World;
but in America the newest floet2trap
or whinstone, which In Europe appears
only In low mountains, or at the foot
of those of great magnitude, covers the
mightiest heights OF the Andes. Chlm-
borazo and Antisana are crowned b.
vast walls of porphyry, rising to the
height of six or seven thousand feet
while basalt, which in Europe has
never been observed higher than -four
thousand feet, is, on the pinnacle OF

OF mountains have sometimes the ap-

active or extinct volcanoes. The Rock
Of Gibraltar which rises up to the
height of 1900 feet from the level
beach of the Mediterranean, the Peak
of Tencriffe and Mount Egmunt in
New Zealand are fine specimens of
this class. The latter Is an extinct vol
cano. and may be seen from q vast
distance. ascending above the line of
perpetual snow. The mountain Is in
shape perfect cone. situated on Il
projecting headland, about twenty miles
from the coast.
The contour OF mountains exhibits al
most every kind of variety. and their
aspect changes as an observer extends
his distance from them, lesser irregu-
larlties being last in the general out
line, and different colors becoming
merged in the uniform shade. The
appearance of solitary Individual OBJ
Jects is generally conical; but others
are circular. elliptical or saddlebacked.
The Table Mountain at the Cape of
Good Hope has the shape of a gigan-
tic altar. In the case OF n number of
contiguous mountains, their submits
are often needle-shaped, or like the
domes OF Roman architecture. In many
instances the entire mass resembles a
vast wall, with battlements and towers,
after the manner of an ancient fort
| rcss, and sometimes mountains appear
| piled upon each other, forming sue
| ccSslon OF glsantc terraces. One OF the
most extraordinary mountains in its
confguration Is in the Mauritius, n vol
canic region, and bears the name of
| Peter Botte, The name is derived from
| an unfortunate adventurer, who. ac-
| cording to tradition, after reaching the
summit, perlshed in the descent. An
enormous mass, of a globular shape.
| forms the head of the mountain. 1t rests
upon u pedestal OF rock, OF q conical
form. upward of three hundred feet
high, and overhangs 1t by several feet.
! At the bottom OF the pedestal narrow
| strip Of land runs out, about six feet
broad and twenty yards long, on two
sides of which a precipice goes down
