This is not the famous echo who gained such a reputation for courtesy by answering "Begorra, grandly" to the shouts of "How d'ye do, Paddy Blake?" but a less original spirit, a youth who stands at a regulary well-known point in the ascent ready to blow the Alpen- horn for a few pfennigs and the pleasure of the tourists who wish to hear the manifold "wild echoes flying".

By Appointment. The Terror of the Alps. This fine and savage bird, the Stone Eagle, is the natural and hereditary enemy of the Chamois; but, like others of its tribe, he will attack children, and in very severe weather will even dash upon solitary Alpine travellers.

By Appointment. A Descent. When a dangerous snow ridge has to be negotiated the three that usually make up a single party, are roped together, thus: guide, tourist, guide. The first guide is steadied by the two above, and when he has reached a good foothold, there is little work for the tourist and second guide to do, except follow in his steps. Processed in Bavariu.

A Rescue Party. When a party of climbers goes off to negotiate an ascent, they are timed at their hotels, and should their return be much overdue a rescue party of guides and villagers is sent after them with extra ropes, lanterns, ice-axes, blankets, food, brandy and even surgical appliances.

Edelweiss. This white velvety flower is the desire of every tourist and the disaster of some, for it grows in places so steep and difficult that even chamois-hunters themselves are shy of seeking it. It does not grow on the lower heights of the Alps but only at altitudes higher than 5,000 to 7,000 feet and therefore its possession is regarded as the "hall-mark" of an Alpine climber.
