So great wa8 their dread of these unknown heights that tbey qnietly enduteii the audacity of the rupauiouM tribes inhabit- ing them till about fifteen yearri B. C. Yet Hannibal had crossed them for the first time in September of 218 B. G. This was considered a deed of such mag- nitude that its succetH was ascribed by the southern ^leople to the assibtance ot the heavenly powers. The darkness that rested over the Alps was firHt illu- minated by the historian Polybius, who visiteil them and described them from his own observations. Soman j)Ower was extended over them by Au^nstus C;rsar, B. C. 15. Afterward roads were built over them, fourteen at least, the laying out of which shows that they were made after careful studies of the situation by the engineers. The opening of the mountains to travel was followed by a great streaming of adventnrers in search of the riches to be found in the regions beyond, and scenes were enacted very much like those which were witnessed a few years ago in California. At one time gold was found in such abundance that the price of the metal was depreciated thirty-four per cent, throngh all Italy. The treasure hunters carried vines with them and jJanted tlitjm wherever they settled down and to this, in part, Germany owes its weaitli in vineyards. The forests were laid waste as a matter of course, just as thej' are now wherever a new settlement is ]jlanted, and with similar results. The Rornams had no appreciation of the beauty and grandeur of the roonntains, so highly admireil by modern taste, but expressed only dread of them and abhorrence of their savage aspect, which they considered well re- presented in the barbarous names their indwellers gave to them. They (nter- tained the wildest ideas of the height of the mountains, which tlicy exaggerattxi tremendonsly.

The Arabs of Sahara are very particu- lar as to the color of their horses. White isthecolorforprinces, butdoes notst^nn heat. The blacic brings geo I fortune, but fears rocky grbuud. The chestnut is the most active. If one tells you that he has seen a horse fly in tlie air, ask of what color it was if he replies "chest- nat," believe him. In a combat against a chestnut you must have a chestnut. The bay is the hardest and most sober. If one tells you that a horse has leaped to the bottom of a precipice Without hurting lumself ^ask of what color he was, and if he replies "bay," believe him. Ben Dyab, a renowned chief of the desert, happening ove day to be pursued by SKad-el-Zenaty, turned to his son and asked "What horses are in the front -of the enemy " "White horses," replied the son. "It is well let us make for the sunny side and they will melt away like butter." Some time afterward Ben Dyab again turned to his son and said "What horses are in the front of the: enemy " "Black horses," cried -his son. "It is well; let 'us make lor stony ground and we shall have nothing to fear; they are the negroes of the Soudan, who cannot walk with bare feet upon the, flints." He ichanged his course and the blaok horses were sjieedily distanced. A third time Ben Dyab asked "And now what horses are in front of the^n^my?*' "Dark chestnuts and dark bays.
