One Saturday afternoon, when tlie

that they would require her geryloes no

" I'm sorry, my girl," he said, " but

UP. MONT BLANO ON A SLEDGE,
AIaitio nnd llliirrly Man MaVus the Jonr-

A lame man,- about sixty years of ago,
has lust mado tho annent nf Mnnfc Ttlnnn
Jn his day Mr. Janssen has been a great
mountain oumuor. no is the i'resldont
of thePrenoh Alpine Club, nnd an astron
omer, ne nau a two-ioiu pur,.oso in
view In tho ascent ho has Just made un
der suh disadvantageous circumstances.
IIo wished In tho first place to ascertain
whethor it was possible for snientlQc
men to reach the regions of eternal snow
without becoming so fatigued us to lm
pair tho value of tholr observations
Ills second purpose was scientific. He
deelrod to find whether tho outer atmos
ph'ere of the sun contains oxygen In the
state In whloh the gas is f ormod In the
atmosphere of the earth.
The soleutlQo results of Mr. Japssen's
Journey have not been announced. He
ascertained, bowevor, that though old
and lame he was able to reach tho top of
that terribly fatiguing mountain In com.
paraUvo oomfort. In fact, the astrono
mer waa taken up on a slodgo whioh was
drawn and pdsheil by twenty-two guides,
and while UfSy had a rather hard time of
it In some psofirff the ascent, the old
gentleman sat Inoritnfort on his sledge
and let them tug away, and flounder in
the snow.
When dear tho top of tho mountain, at
the Bldgo of tho Bosses,- tho asoent was
almost vertical, and on both Hlihw n-nrn
beds of spow, apparently ready to fall in
anuaaoaai ut uie Migateet tiiouoo. 1 no
twantptwo guides, who wero up to their
watste la tho enow, begged'tiio old gen.
tleman to try walking for a little variety,
and assured hln4hat-a'.very short pull
would land him on the top of the moun
tain, lie -finally consented to try It, got
off hie sledge, took six or seven stepe,
when he tumbled down in the snow. lie
said the work was rauoh too hard for his
strength and they must get him up on
the sledge somehow. Another hour's
bard work and the astronomer was on
top ot the mountain, the first time that
any one bae ever taken a sledge Journey
up Mont Blane.
It took him two days to make the
ateent, but only one day to return to the
hotel near the foot of the mountain! and
durlnct the manv honrs ttie onldaa ware
puffing away up-the dlfSoult slopes, two
ladle, tho wife and daughter ot the
Alpine sledge traveller, were on the
veranda, ot the hotel watching every
movement at their relative through a
UleMope.
