He said the chamois was plentiful enough, without hunting up hotels where they made a specialty of it. I was indifferent, for the chamois is a creature that will neither bite me nor abide with me; but to calm Harris, we went to the Hôtel des Alpes. At the table d'hôte, we had this, for an incident.

In the Department of the Hautes Alpes, in France, M. Eliede Beaumont traced a black argillaceous limestone, charged with belemnites, to within a few yards of a mass of granite. Here the limestone begins to put on a granular texture, but is extremely fine-grained. When nearer the junction it becomes grey, and has a saccharoid structure.

You may call to mind that amusing passage in Tartarin Sur Les Alpes, in which Bompard makes Tartarin and therefore also the reader to some slight extent accept the idea of a Switzerland choke-full of machinery like the basement of the opera, and run by a company which maintains a series of waterfalls, glaciers and artificial crevasses.
"I shall sleep to-night," muttered Suvaroff, as he climbed up to his room upon the third story of the Hôtel des Alpes Maritimes. He undressed deliberately. All his former frenzy was gone. Shortly after he had crawled into bed he heard a step on the landing.
It is impossible to be more impartial than M. de Saussure has proved himself to be on this occasion, or to reason more in the manner in which every philosopher ought to reason on all occasions. But to see the full value of this author's impartiality, notwithstanding of his system, let us follow him in the second volume of Voyages dans les Alpes. It is in chap.
