CLIMBING HIGH MOUNTAINS.

An expedition, presumably English, is re-
ported to have Just started for the Himaiayas
with the object of trying to reach the top Of
Mount Everest, the loftiest summit in the
world. According to "The Scientific Amer-
can," it is difficult to obtain details of the prof.
ect; but it is known that the leaders name is
Eckenstein, and that number of prominent
mountain climbers, among them Sir Martin
Conway, have declared that success is not i'm
possible
While the opinions of experts are probably
more trustworthy than any one elses. the lay
mind cannot fail to be impressed with the great
difference between what has hitherto been ac-
complished and what is now proposed. The best
achievement in Asia on record is that Of Sir Mar
tin himself. Pioneer Peak, in the Karakorum
Range of the HimaIayas, which he scaled in
1892, Is %, 800 feet above sea level. A few
years later Fitzgerald tried 10 get to the top Of
Aconeagua in the Andes but was Obliged to
abandon the effort when nearly there. His
companion, Zurbriggen, a famous Swiss guide,
pushed on and succeeded. There are no salts
factory figures for the height of Aconcagua
Estimates concerning 1t vary widely. 1t is
doubtful, though, II 1t greatly exceeds $4,000
feet or about 5000 feet less than that of Mount
Everest. That interval involves much more
toll and danger than any equal one lower down.
1t may also include obstacles entirely unfOre-
seen hitherto.
An attempt to scale higher mountains than
have ever before been climbed resembles an
Arctic expedition in several respects. A great
deal Of time and money must be invested in it.
Camps should be established along the route,
where food may be deposited for the return
journey. Long stays at different elevations are
desirable in the interest of acclimatization. By
degrees the party should be reduced in dimen--
sions until it includes only two or three per-
sons The task Of carrying nourishment makes
larger number impracticable. An essential!
item among the supplies would be cans Of COM
pressed oxygen, to be breathed at very great
attitudes. Aeronauts almost invariably suffer
from faintness when more than 10000 feet up.
DR.. ReFson, the only man who is known to
have reached an elevation of 10000 feet in q
balloon and retained consciousness, took along
oxygen. With an airship the transportation Of
gas tanks was easy, and the consumption was
comparatively slight during the short period Of
pF. BeF6on's stay at the maximum distance
above sea level The greater difficulty of de-
scent would prolong the rest near the summit
Of mountain, while freight carriage would be
besst with serious emharTassments With
proper organization and outlay In advance these
nime1lt1es could perhaps be met, and Mount
Everest may yet be conquered by the old meth
ods. II II ia not then the feat will doubtless be
performed with flying machine.
When one asks what good can be accom-
pi.ahsd by getting to the topmost elevation on
the eaFths crust It 10 not easy to furnish sat

REPLY CONCERNING STORING GOODS.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
slr: AS a reader OF your paper noticed the raw

gains with the managers OF such establishments.

store goods and figure given of. say hve vans

over ive vans came to the warehouse, or how much
over 80 the packing came to, the who
stored the goods paid Oaly the figures given.
Victim" asserts he ~AS~ charged N3 carriage
for two vanloads, and ~ 81 fer packing. which
was loH figure for packing and protecting two

NOT BUSY ENOUGH FOR "PIDG1N."


Americans are busy people. But they are
not we trust so busy as to be driven 10 tne
general use of ''Pidgin' English. This express
sion of a pious hope is provoked by some cur
rent discussion about the name for wireless
telegraphy, and particularly by the suggestion
of correspondent in our columns the other
dav that "vireIess" should be adopted, as both
noun and verb Thus, our correspondent thinks
we should speak Of sending or receiving
"vvireIess' instead of wireless dispatch' or
simply q dispatch, and should also speak OF
"wireIessing" and being "wirelessed he
would have US conjugate the new verb Ito WIRE
less" thus: I wireless, thou WireieSsest ne
Wireleeses Also: 1 was wirelessed, thou vast
vireIessed, he was wrefessed. We should like
to suggest as an alternative form, this: l wire
less, thou throwest fit, he drops dead
Self-respeeting people will never, we believe,
countenance such grotesque degradation OF their
language even though it be for the sake OF
saving q little breath or few drops of Ink. 1t
may be- as our correspondent says that some
people use wire instead Of telegraph ana
telegram" and 'typing" instead Of "typeWrit-
ing" They probably also write "nun" for
news" and "thru" for through and "nox"
for knocks" There always have been and al
ways will be freaks and craGks But that such
ever receive the sanction of rational and edu-
Gated people is simply unthinkable. The ex-
cuse that we are busy people and therefore
drift rapidly to the shortest words that clearly
express our meaning would not serve to justify
such atrocities even If 1t were true. But it is
notstrue.
For these specimens Of what Frenchmen
sometimes call "styie negre" are not the short
est words that clearly express the meaning.
"Typing" is shorter than "typewriting," bat it
does not make clear whether the operation re-
ferred to is typeWriting or typesetting or print
ing. So ''typist' might be a typesetter as
well as a typewriter. The wretched abortion
Of word 'electrocute," which some use, Is
actually syllable longer than the execute
which they ought to stick to instead. Such ex-
amples might be multiplied. The jargon OF the
careless and iliiterate Is not always clear in
meaning nor brief in compass. The most eff
fective speech Is that which conforms with the
established rules and principles Of the language.
It is well to be busy But it is not we'll to be
too busy to write and speak correctly.

BRIBERY IN RHODE ISLAND

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: To one who is not student Of political his
tory Governor Garvin seems to have discovered
something new In his message to the Rhode Island
Legislature concerning bribery elections in that
State. The fact Is Rhode Island has been a hot
bed of political corruption for than half
century. In 1860, when William Sprague Rhode
Islands famous war Governor. first elected
to that office he spent 100000 and his opponent,
Seth PadelfoEd, wealthy Providence grover.
prices paid for votes in Rhode Island in those
days Cwhen the suffrage restricted TO native
born citizens and naturaliZed citizens owning 800
worth Of real estate) Governor Garvin's talk of
farmers getting $. 80 and $50 for their votes Is
highly amusing. STUDENT.
