rHE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN.
Recent Computations Add to the sta
ture Of Mount Everest.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES SA00s " syV5 Wv
ture Of Mount Everest.
It has been proved by the Geologi-
cal Survey OF India that Mount Ey-
crest ds still higher than 2s,002i feet.
the result of the computations Of
iS49 and 1850, which for over half a.
century have been accepted as maxi
Ing Everest the highest known sum-
NIT. The mountain is at least 139
feet higher than those computations
made 1t. Before mentioning how this
has been ascertained 1t may be we'll
to answer query that has doubt
less arisen in many minds and was:
recently referred to by an English
writer who said 1t was ridiculous to
give the height of Mount Everest as,
29,O02 feet because the determine
ton of the height Of peaks is liable
to errors OF different kinds, and to
give the elevation at exactly 29,002
feet implies degree of accuracy in
the value Of the height. assigned to.
the mountain that has not been at,
tanned. He thought 1t would be bet
ter to say that Mount Everest Is
about ,2s, 600 feet high.
The fact is that the value Of 29,002
feet was not obtained from any one
station OF observation. Six trigono-
metrical values of the height we're de-
duced In 1s49 and 1850 from six
stations far to the south OF the noun
tain. The mean of these. six values
Is 2s,0o2 feet. Owing to the objec-
tions Of the Nepalese Government,
Mount Everest cannot be approached
by surveyors from the side Of India
nearer than eighty miles from the
mountain, and the observations above
mentioned were therefore carried out
under great difficulties.
But at last it has been shown con
clusively that Mount Everest, Ia
higher than the well known value
given to It, Between 1881 AMI 1909
q series Of six additional observa-
lions from Ave different stations
was obtained. All but one of these
stations are nearer to the mountain
than those from which the six de-
Examinations Of height we're made in
1s4s. and 1850. and the north as
well as the south side Of Everest has
been included In these observations.
The Geological Survey OF India has
just corrected these results for prob.
able errors due to refract1on and has
found that all these later values Of
the height Of the mountain are from
1872 to 14s feet higher than the long
accepted. 2s,oo2 feet. The mean Of
these six values is 29,141 feet. The
Survey On the report 1t has just Is.
sued says that the height, 29,141 Is
still probably too small, as II has yet
to be corrected tor the effects Of de-
viations OF gravity. But though 1t Is
a more Trustworthy result than 49,
002 feet, the latter value will be re-
\ tanned for the present in maps and
publications OF the Survey. There are
other problems Of refraction to be
solved and other uncertainties to be
