Most of the houses with thatched roofs, collected in groups like villages. Dined at Belfort. Reached Bale at 9.40 p.m. Omnibus waiting took us to the Hotel *‘ Trois Rois »—so-named from three kings meeting there in 1300. On each of our beds, outside the quilt, we found a little down bed, which, in cold weather, would, no doubt, be both light and warm ; but in summer could easily be dispensed with. Another novelty was the wedge- shaped bolster, placed under the mat- trass—thus making the bed an_ in-| clined plane. The next morning we took a walk through the crooked, narrow-paved

teresting. While looking at a_ beau- tifully carved clock, the little door suddeniy opened and a little Swiss boy jumped out and played a pretty tune on his horn, then as suddenly vanished from sight, banging the little door after him. There are car horses, birds, beasts and figures of all des- criptions, and lots of pretty things.

Near the Lion monument is the ‘‘Glets- chergarten,” the most wonderful geological formation to be found in Europe. It has eighteen holes of different sizes, which have been worn by the action of the ice melting and trying to escape. These desbris date from the earliest epoch of the exist- ence of oar globe, when nearly the whole of Switzerland was buried under masses of ice. The marks of palm leaves on some boulders show that at another epoch in the history of the earth, Switzerland must have been a tropical country. The Glacier Garden is laid out in Alpine style, all the orignal wildness of the place being carefully preserved, and heightened by rustic bridges and steps cut in the rock up high, steep ascents. Thero are pretty arbours to rest in aud from a little fort-like pavillion en the top, a beautiful view of the town and its surroundings. In a pavillion in the Glacier

In the third bridge there is nothing strikings The fourth is roofed and decorated with paint- ings of the ‘‘ Dance of Death.” These pic- tures are much defaced, but are interesting relics of bygone times.
