THE NE W B E K G G R A P H IC MENDING A CABLE I The Snapping Of a Submarine Line Entails Hard Work. LOCATING THE BREAK IS EASY. GLACIER NATIONAL PARK. EXPLORING VESUVIUS. Montana'« Scenic Wonder la tha 8wlt- nrland of America. A Descent Into the Voloeno’s Burring, Fumee Leden Crater. Within the borders o f the G la- sier National park are attractions for the scientist, nature lover and tourist unsurpassed in any country in the world, tourists of worldwide experience pronouncing it the Swit zerland of America. The elevations Although many .tourists visit the volcano of Vesuvius and enjoy the grand and terrible sight, few have the daring or the physical endur ance to descend into the depths of the crater. Suffocating sulphur fumea, redhot cinders, precipitous walla down which masses of rock are constantly plunging, are obsta cles that only \ few explorers have overcome. The last to accomplish the descent was A. Console. He waa accompanied by A. Mailadra, who had been the second to explore the crater. Their experiences are described by Monsieur V. Forbin in La Nature. Tied to a long rope, which six guides at the top lowered inch by inch, the two began to descend the perilous blope. The broken nature of the wall, which was seamed with deep crevasses, made the downward climb extremely difficult, and the crumbling rock offered no secure grip or foothold.. The heat soon became almost insupportable. Mr. Console fe lt that hu feet were ac tually roasting, and a thermometer that Mr. Malladra carried register ed 179.3 degrees F. Finally .the explorers reached the bottom of the clijf and halted near the Fumarole Mercalli. This hole is probably the vent of the volcanic chimney that has been almost en tirely blocked by years, of accumu lated debris. I t constantly vomits forth clouds of white and yellow fumes that render the surrounding air unbreathable. A ll about this fumarole the ground ia covered with a deep layer o f hot white pow der mixed with gravel, into which the two adventurers sank almost to their knees. As Mr. Console was focusing his camera to take a view of the crater the ground beneath him suddenly opened, and he sank to his waist in the redhot cinders. As his com panion waa some distance away, he had to effect his own rescue. Fortu nately the end of thè rope*that had been used in the descent waa within a few feet of him. He managed to grasp it and by its aid drew hims.lf from his precarious and painful situation. Every moment o f their stay at the bottom of the crater rocks were breaking from the wall and plung ing down about them. Mr. Console, who had stayed near the foot of the cliff, had to keep dodging theflè dangerous missiles. One or two did strike and wound him. The suffo cating heat and the noxious gases brought on a strange sickness that caused him to reel in his gait and his heart to beat rapidly and vio lently. A terrible fit of coughing and choking seized Mr. Malladra, who had stayed too long near the fumarole, and it lasted until he reached the top again. Naturally the ascent was far more difficult than the descent had been. Although they had spent only twen ty minutes at the bottom of the cra ter, they were so spent that they were several times on the point of fainting. Once, after scaling a perpendicu lar wall of- twenty-five feet, Mr. Console thought that he had reach ed the limit of hia endurance. Sum moning all his strength and cour age, however, he dragged himself on. Looking back a moment later, he saw a small avalanche sweep over the exact spot he had just left. When the two explorers were finally lifted over the edge of the cliff they were on the point of complete ex* haustion. This I .
