The Italian-Swiss boundary runs over the crest of the mountain. Zer- matt grew from a village to a re- + | spectable little town largely because of the rise in popularity of the Matter- horn and the consequent influx of those who wished to look upon it in its various moods, and those who wished to scale it. The town is also the center from which many less diffi- cult climbs are made.

Long “after many other famous heights of the Alps were scaled the Matterhorn remained unvanquished, and by 1850 it was rated unattainable. | It was first climbed by a party of four | Englishmen and three guides on July 14, 1865. It was a tragic attainment. On the way down three of the climb- ers and one guide, tied together, fell over a 4,000-foot precipice to their deaths. Only the breaking of the rope saved the lives of one climber and the two other g “Day by day in warm weather the Matterhorn continues to shower down a part of itself. Already the hard upper pyramid hangs over a bit in places where the softer rock below has wasted away. Some day—how many thousands of years hence it is useless to guess—the supporting rock will give way, geologists say, and the huge top, weighing millions of tons, will topple -over with one of the most tremendous crashes ever heard by the ear of man.
