To Harvard University belongs the
credit oil having estdDlIsned the highest

ward observatory is at Arequipa Itself at
an altitude of $3.50 feet me trip 10 the
summit Is by no means an easy one, ana
the altitude of the MIST is so great that
almost everyone going UP suffers from
mountain sickness.
The writer visited the Misti station
twice during a recent stay or three
months in AreQupa. The trip up and
back occupies two days. and IS accom-
plished entirely on muleback. IL Is, OF
course. an extremely fortunate circum-
stance that no physical eXertion need be
made in the ascent, for If persons unac-
