A Cow For Life.

The Ober Gabelhorn is a peak no.
tOrious for the dangerous cornices
which decorate Its upper ridges. OF
many accidents reported in connection
with it perhaps the most remarkable
says G. D. Abraham In "Swiss Noun
tain Climbs" was the adventure which
befell an amateur and his young guide.
In passing along the dangerous final
cornice it suddenly gave way under
the amateur. and he went flying
through space to apparent destruction
The guide at the other end Of the rope
seemed in hopeless plight, but with
astounding presence Of mind he flung
himself down the opposite side of the
ridge, thus saving two lives. The rope
cut deep into the snow above, but held
firm. The young guides name was
Ulrich Almer. His reward was a cow

Death Record Of q Monster Wave.

-
The greatest waves-apart from the
true earthquake wave-are those caus-
ed by tornadoes or circular storms. In
such q storm the barometer may be
lower by three inches In the center OF
the storm than at its edge.
The consequence Of this tremendous
reduction Of pressure Is that the sea in
the vortex rises high above the usual
level and in this way are produced
waves of appalling size and height
It was a wave Of this type which,
in the dreadful tornado Of 1875, swept
upon the mouth Of the Ganges and
drove in over an area the size Of Dew.

The modern periscope, with parabolie
