Climbing the. Himalayas.

A height of more than % 900 feet has,
we believe, been reached in the Himala-
vas by an English officer, and a height ex-
ceeding q 900 feet was twice reached
by Mr.. Whymper, in the Andes. 1t is
remarkable that at first this traveller
and his guides suffered frightfully from
the rarity of the air. At an elevation of
only $4,000 feet on the slopes of Chin
borazo they felt incapable for while
of making the least exertion. Suisse
quently, however, Mr.. Whymper passed
a night on the summit of Cotopaxi,
1860 feet high, without apparently
suffering in any way, and when he made
his second ascent of Chimborazo he
does not seem to have felt any oppres-
sion whatever. On the other summit
mentioned. that of Cotopaxi, he had
been preceded by Herr Won Thielmann.
who was not apparently in the least
affected by the rarity of the air. and of
the five mountaineers who accompanied
him only one complained of headache.
1t seems. then, clear that strong
man accustomed to mountain walking,
would be able, after allowing time for
his lungs to get asclimatized. to attain,
without any difficulty, height of
u 200 feet. and that he would possibly
be able. without any very great diff
Guilty. to mount 1000 feet higher.
Whether any man, however strong and
practiced, can go much beyond this.
whether heights of $4,000 and $4,000
feet can be reached on foot, it is impos-
sible at present to say.
NJ al laN. <xt
the Alpine Club, who referred to this
subject in paper on mountain climb
ing. seemed to think that even the sum-
NIT of Mount Everest might not be I'M
attainable. Mount Everest, or Gauri
Sankar. towers by more than 6,00O feet
over the highest point yet reached on
foot. and we fear that over the final
part of the walk up its atmospheric con-
ditions would severely try the mountain
eer. Unfortunately, the interesting ex-
pertinent can not be made, as Mount
Everest can not be approached.
A peak more than $4,000 feet high Is.
however. accessible; and now that
Major Mitchell has shown that the diff
culties and expense of Himalayan travel
are not so great as they are supposed to
be, some adventurous members of the
Alpine Club may think of attempting
the ascent of this Monte Rosa of the
Himalayas. For the real enthusiast
such an expedition must have the great
est possible attraction. If he succeeds
he will achieve lasting renown, and if
he fails. and at $4,000 feet or there
abouts dies, literally from want of
breath, his last moments will be cheered
by the thought that he has made a
highly interesting experiment, and that
he will rank legitimately among the
martyrs of science Saturday Rett.W.

Man.Fed Murrays.

One of the most disagreeable fishes OF
our Southern reef is the murray, so
snake-like is it, and. like those reptiles.
vindictive; vet in the days of old Rome
the allies of this fish were considered
food for the gods, and in the time of
Augustus Caesar kept in stews and fat
tened for the feast The flavor of fish
was as now a question of dispute. Vedi-
us Polio, a Roman knight and fast
friend of Cesar, believed that human
flesh impaired to his fish proper
flavor, and forthwith fed them upon
slaves, thereby setting a fashion that
brought Unmarried murrays into high
repute. The finest of these fish came
from Tartessus. while other favored
spots were Cadiz and the Straits of
Gibraltar. The flesh is firm and rich,
and of those of the Faro di Messina
Brydone writes: They are the finest in
the world
The Grecians found delight in the
labrax, and it was Archistralus that pro-
nounced the bass "offspring of the
gods" The best bass were taken from
the bridges of the Tiber, and their flesh
EcScIuDIcu WOOl LII
to Columella, the cultivated taste of
Marcus Philippus first taught the Ro-
mans to prize the bass that were taken
while exhausting their strength in stem
ming the current of the Tiber, and
Horace satirically asks: Whence is it
that your palates can distinguish be-
tween the Tiberine bass and those taken
at sea? And why do you dislike the
older fish of that kind when you praise
insanely an overgrown surmullett?"
To this he replies himself that it is
solely because the bass is naturally of
larger growth, and the surmullet of
less, and rarity adds to the value. From
the roe of the cannon, member of this
family, cake is made of good taste,
and similar to the caviare, known in
Italy as botargo, only that it is made OF
the eggs of mullets and tunnies.-N. Y.
