SFEElAL ROPE FOR CLIMBERS
Those Used In tho Alps Are selected
for Strength, Reliability and
Llqhtness-

The rope used by Alpine climbers is
of special manufacture, combining as
far as possible the different QUALITIES
of strength, flexibility and lightness.
Three qualities are in general use,
being made from sisal. Italian ana
Manila hemps respectively, and occa

light and strong, is not SO durable as
the others. That which finds most Ia
vor among British mountaineeers Is
known as Buckingham's Alpine rope
II ia made of the best Manila hemp.
In the year 1854 committee of the
Anime club made tests upon number
of ropes suitable for mountaineering
of the two that were approved one
was made of Italian hemp and the
other of Manila. They both had
breaking strain of two tons and sus

Among the extraordinary frauds
which have been perpetrated was one
put into operation by company OF
schemers who told confiding public
that many fortunes were to be made
BY importing into England compressed
dried grapes from Spain, Italy and
elsewhere, then saturating them with
good English water, and making wine
from them. 1t was stated In the pros
pectus that dried grapes could be i'm.
ported at much cheaper rate than
wine. and that it was possible to pro
duce an equal quantity OF wine OF
equal quality to that made abroad.
