by imperceptible degrees Now it a shower of

little church and the houses; while the village streets
yawn hideOusly. though the earth was about to
swallow the peaceful hamlet.
Much the same story comes from beautiful TyrOl,
and still the people cling to their mountain homes,
which contain associations most dear. Take Stuben,
a typical TyrOleSe village. Not once but five times
has it been almost wholly wiped out by the ava
lanche, with terrible loss of life; yet the peasants
remain, repairing in summer what winter has de-
stroyed and it is only lately that the Austrian
authorities of the Arlberg Railroad have ngeniously
turned aside these annual devastations.
This line starts from Innsbruck in Tyrol and goes
to Zurich in Switzerland In places the road IS
four thousand feet above level and the track IS
often torn from the mountain side by roaring rivers
of debris sixty feet high-a tumbling chaos of snow
and ice, mixed with the ruins of houses and barns.
bodies of men and cattle, wet soil and rock. Snow
sheds and tunnels protect the line in places and
constant warfare is waged by the engineers. Too
often in vain, however; for nothing withstands
the avalanche and after the track is destroyed the
monster destroys every village in its path.
Last spring a mountain hotel on the Arberg was
completely swept from its foundations by mighty
mass of frozen that poured into the Hollen-
stein Valley. One large village was buried seventy

lanche is only forty yards from the mouth
of the gorge in which are situated the
doomed villages. Burkli tells me that the
mighty mass will separate in its downward
course and fall in sections at intervals. If
he is right, Grugnay only will be destroyed.
On the other hand, sudden change of tenn
perature, causing the avalanche to fall IN
its entirety, will wipe out and completely
bury three or four beautiful Alpine hanlets.
Nor is this the only case. The village of
Viella at the foot of the Pic de rAyre, a
picturesque cluster of houses three hundred
feet above the road, is on the way to fall
headlong into the valley, with a section of
its mountain behind it as a tomb. Viella
is perched upon fssile and easily disin-
tegrated shale, streaked and scored by
mountain torrents.
One night last April the villagers heard
companied by much dreadful rending and
tearing. Dawn showed them that part of
the mountain had fallen and heaped itself
near the village, forming mass OF debris
over five acres III extent and one hundred
and sixty feet high. A few weeks later it
was seen that the level pastures in front Of
the landslip were sinking. Evidently some
springs had started and sOftened the earth
The villagers next noted with horror that
the mass was moving over SIX feet a week.
The base was widening, and the surface
soil of the fertile fields was being crumpled
up like lava stream into creamy folds.
Meanwhile, threatened in front by one
enemy, Viella is also menaced by the noun

Who has not heard OF the dreaded ava

Nature herself for the crushing and burving
OF entire towns Right well do the Swiss
know what that thunderclap means ten

rver of ice blocks and loose snow begins
