Speaking Of mountain climbing, Sir
Martin Conway's Alpine record OF the
year 1894 is another startling proof OF
what man is physically capable OF
doing and enduring. Sir Martins tour
lasted eighty-six days. During that
tme he covered one thousand miles on
fort, assembled twenty-one peaks OF an
Average height Of 800 feet, and
crossed thirty-nine lofty passes. It has
been calculated that a man who climbs
a seven thousand foot peak in five
hours exerts enough energy to raise
five fully loaded locomotives one foot
from the ground.
