They tell the melancholy story OF
brave men who lost their lives in the
interests of science.
But the ghastly daily sacrifice that
is now going on in the Alps has raised
the question whether the non-scien-

pleasure" or excitement of the thing,
or for the vain glory that it brings
him, is not hopelessly insane.
Study the man in the Swiss hotels
writes a correspondent. "and you Will
find him as a rule a weird and extra
ordinary being. He has a curiously
shaped head; his beard is trimmed
fantastically or not trimmed at all;
his clothes are an extravaagaza.
"Talk with him, and what is his
talk? It is about mountains and more
mountains and more mountains still.
His eyes flashes fire, he raves wildly
of unknown beauties, of the delights
of facing death.
"In fact, he betrays all the symp-
toms that would have stamped him IN
the mind of Burton as q madman.
There is only one other theory
that would seem to explain this rush
of inexperienced men to their DOOM"
adds the correspondent.
MANY believe in it, and why should
it not be true, for the Alps otter an
easy death, untainted by suspicion,
and one which is not without romantic

for climbing, the lower part OF the

Any one who is an enthusiast upon
Alpine climbing is, correspondent
declares, suffering from form OF in
sane vanity closely allied to that SO
often found in criminals.

in motion all over Europe to prevent
the spread Of this dangerous disease
by prohibiting the climbing of danger

more useless throwing away of lives in

THE QUIET MAN IN THE CORNER

You've known these quiet fellows that
just sat around and thought
And never made noise while the others
ragged and fought;
The Whole community had come to think
of them as dead,
Or else so very near it that their hope Of
fame had fled.
The chaps with recognition for their por-
ton pose and strut,
And seem to overlook the man who keeps
his talker shut.
But some day. when most every one is
looking t'othcr way,
This quiet fellow secs chance to break
into the pay:
He reaches out and grabs things that the
others had ignored;
He puts into the life-same all the energy
he'd stored
Through all the years Of silence. So
you'd better not forget
The still man in the corner, for he'll reach
the king-row yet!
