Text Appearing Before Image:
the crags, or fling themselves in showers of rainbow spray fromthe edges of the high precipices. Chief among these fountains is thebtabback or Dust Stream, that comes curving down over a precipice ninehundred feet high, swaying and spreading-in the wind, until it falls in cloudsot silvery dust upon the rocks below. The valley is a deep narrow chasmreaching into the sides of the St. Gothard giants. Rustic cottages are sprink-led here and there upon its over-hanging cliffs, and the little village of Lauter Switzerland. 285 jrunnen, with its fifteen thousand inhabitants, nestles at its heart, so over-shadowed by the surrounding cliffs, that in winter the sun does not reach itriitil noon, and then speedily disappears. Lake Leman and Lake Lucerne.— Clear placid Leman, the largestf the Swiss lakes, has received many flattering tributes from pen and pen-il. Her pure waters keep ever unsullied by the numerous muddy streamshat bathe themselves there before entering the channel of the Rhine.
Text Appearing After Image:
JUNGFEAU. When the weather is clear, the stars and mountains could ask for no bettermirror than Lake Leman affords. Even Monte Blanc, fifty miles away, cansee his broad glittering diadem of snow and ice reflected from her glassysurface. Lake Lucerne, though considerably smaller than Leman, ranks not farbehind it in beauty of scenery, while it is of special interest from its associ-ation with the memory of William Tell. The mountains at its eastern ex-tremity are bold and grand, seeming to rise right out of the lake. On oneof them is a scar, where a huge fragment of rock broke off and fell into the 288 Persons and Places in Europe. ,s~\
