A French woman. Mine. Morel, and her daughter, while climbing iu the Alps, near Zermatt, fell a distance of l.'Joo feet, not much less than a quar ter of a mile. and. although the mother was killed on the spot, iter daughter escaped with a few bruises Mr. Whymper. the famous mountaineer, had a similar).' miraculous deliverance from what seemed to lie certain death when scaling the Matterhorn, l osing his footing, he fell from rock to ris k to the bottom of a precipitous gully, loti yards in depth, only to recover his feet with m> worse damage than a badly cut head Anti M. i’urville, a French writer, tells the story of an Fast Indian living ill t lie island of Oghin who fell over a preeipiee l.otto feet deep \\ i;|i no more serious eon sequence than .1 good shakiug. his fall being broken In tfit- dense vegetation which grew at the foot of the cliff. While climbing a waterworks tower 240 ftH-t high iu Chicago a steeple jack dislodged a loose stoue and was precipitated to the ground from a height of 175 feet, fortunately strik lag telegraph wires forty feet above the street ami thus breaking his fall. The s|>ectators gasped with horror as they saw the man drop swiftly to de struction A rush was made to pick up his shattered remains only to dis cover that he was practically tin harmed Not a bo.ie was broken, and a week ter he w as walking about as if U’ ’! h* ■ - had ha; pelted.

Woolcot was re torts! to soundness of limb aft er surely the most terrible adventure of which any mau has lived to tell the story Hut It is In the history of ballooning that one eneor.liters the most remark able eases of sensational drops from the clouds. When Mr Wise, a famous aeronaut of the early niucteenth ceu tury. was once making au ascent his hal!«*>n exploded at au altitude of 13. t**! feet and begun to drop swiftly to the earth, more than a couple of miles below "The descent at first was rapid." Mr. Wise writes, "and accom panied by a fearful moaning noise caused by air rushing through tit* net work and the gas escaping from aliore In another moment I felt a slight shock, ami. looking up to see what caused it. I discovered that the balloon was caul ing over. Iwing nicely doubled In. the lower half luto the upper.” 1 he balloon bad, in fact, formed it self into a parachute and. oscillating w lldly, continued its descent until it struck the earth violently, throwing the aeronaut ten yards out of the ear “The car had turned bottom upward aud there l stood.” says Mr. Wise Congratulating myself and the per apiratiou robing down my forehead in profusion.”—SL Louis Post Dispatch.
