A DANGEROUS MOUNTAIN.
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. United Service. il/ONDON, August 2. The “Daily Mail’s” Berlin correspondent reports that Sandling Mountain, in the Salzkammergut region, in Upper Austria, again is becoming dangerous. Daily gigantic avalanches of rock slide from the summit, undermining the peak.* The pressure of the masses of rock is forcing out rock, earth and clay from the interior of the mountain, and this solid matter is driven like a river down the valleys and i 3 sweeping a path of destruction. It already has advanced three miles, engulfing a forest in its path. (The Salzkammergut is on© of the most beautiful regions of the Austrian Alps, comprising the whole of the lake region of the Traun basin in the crownland of Upper Austria. Great quantities of salt are produced in this region).
