ALPINE LANDSLIDE.
GENEVA. A landslide in the mountains south of Lake Geneva, in Haute Savoie, some 20 miles from Thonon, after destroying a hamlet, blocked the Bellevaux Valley. A lake threequarters of a mile long and 100 feet deep was formed, and held only by a thin dam of rocks, earth and wreckage about 100 feet high, so that villages down the valley were in great peril.
