HEIGHT OF ST. ELIAS.
Professor Davidson on tho Work of Nc
Grath and Turner.


IF this is an authentic report Of the re-
cent observations taken by McGrath and
Turner of the height of Mount ST. Elias,
then the question is settled"
Thus spoke Professor George Davidson,
president of the Geographical Society Of The
Pacific, to a CALL reporter Yesterday after
noon. The professor had just finished read
ing the article on the recently determined
height of ST. Elias when appeared in yes
terday's CALL. and proceeded to comment
upon the work Of the surveyors.
Their statements" said he, "are aT-
thoritatiye and final II they report Mount
ST. Elias to be 7,20l feet high, you can back
them to the odd foot
eli IS a brilliant piece Of work. English.
American, French, Russian and Spanish
navigat0rs have all tried their hand at it,.
All previous determinations of the eleya-
ton Of Mount ST. Elias have been. in the
main, tased upon erroneous distances OF
the observer from the mountain.
That Is the root OF the trouble with all
work done heretofore. La Perouse's dis
tance, IN the last century, was largely In
error. Such was the case with Mr.. Dali In
his observations in 1874.
The Spaniard MalesDina's angle OF eleva-
ton from Port MulgraYe. in Yakutat Bay,
was confirmed by Professor Mendenhall
and others as recently rs last year.
'Mr. Russell determined the height Of the
mountain from shoTt base on a coast OBJ
servaton to be IS. 100 feet Probably hi.
instruments were much weaker than those
of McGrath and Turner. who doubtless have
gotten the elevation from several different
points in their trianguatiOn.
THE work done by these gentlemen has
been to establish the exact geographical
points in the mountain range on the one
hundred and forty-frst meridian, which is
lrztan - o.. L
and Alaska. There are DO immed ate
benefits to be derived from this survey OF
Mount S. Elias except the satisfaction OF
knowing just where the mountain is"

WANTS IT IN A HURRY.
The Board of Education After
$4,000.
Some Fears That Schools VIII Suffsr If the
Money Cannot Be Obtained With
out Delay.

There was little demand of $4,000 made
upon the Finance Committee of the Board
of Supervisors yesterday morning.
President hyde of the Board of Education
made it on behalf of the School Department.
He said be was in particular hurry about
it, too.
The money was wanted for the purpose Of
erecting a new schoolhouse on the old lot of
the Girls High School and to complete ar
rangements for the teaching Of physical Gull
ture in the public schools Of the city.
Mr.. Hyde said if the new schoOlhouse
was built the old building could be used for
a carpenter-shop for the department, and
the lot on Labiu street now used for a
carpenter-shop could then be used for bust
ness purposes.
A considerable Income would accrue from
leasing this Larkin-street LOT, even with the
present old buildings on il.
Then the importance of physical culture
had pressed itself more and more on his
mind. Something had already been done,
but only a start had been made.
The money was urgently needed, and
there was a special fund whence Il could be
obtained. This fund could be obtained
from the treasury only through the Super
yis0Ts.
There was q surplus virtually existing
now, and there was no need 10 wait until
July, 1894 when the bonds issued for the
erection of the Lincoln School would ma
ture and yield a surplus of $50. 0O0 But Mr..
HYDE was altogether opposed to delav.
whats the hurry for this money!" asked
Supervisor Burling.
well, we want to let the contract before
we go out of Office WAS Mr.. Hyde's reply.
Ifs that alp"
YES; the next board may be Democratic,
and then -"
more likely to be Nou-PartIsan," re-
marked Ebert
Mr.. Hyde laughed assentingly. and the
Finance Committee took his demand under
