What is the highest mountain in Colorado? "Pikes Peak" nineteen persons out of twenty will answer, and incorrectly. The twentieth may know that the two highest noun tains in the State are Mount Mas siv- and Mount Ebert, both in Lake County. in the Leadville dis trict The altitude of each of these mountains, according to the United States Geological Survey, is .14,4O2 feet above sea level. The height oG Pikes Peak is 14,lOS it. Moreover, there are fifty or sixty other peaks in Colorado approxi- mately as high-over 14,OOO feet, The lowest point in Colorado is B. $50 feet above sea level. Of all the States Colorado has the highest average altitude, estimated by the Geological Survey at 6,SOO feet, Although not the highest mountain, Pikes Peak is probably the best known peak in the United states, There was at one time a Weather Bureau station on its summit, and it now has a substantial railway sta ton at the terminus of the highest railway line in North America. It can also be reached by an excellent wagon road and trail which connect the summit with Colorado Springs.

were the trials of her host, the earl of Leicester, as expressed in a letter from Hatfield 2 to Lord Burleigh: There is not one drop of good drink for her here. We were fain to send to London and Wentworth and divers other places where ale was; her own beer was so strong as there was no man able to drink it." And one quart of this excellent wash" of good strong ale for breakfast, VIC arc told, put the queen in good spirits for the start of the days work.
 London's water supply formerly came through wooden pipes. These were of the simplest construction, formed of the stems of small elm trees, drilled through the center and cut in lengths of about six feet, one end being tapered so as to fit into the adjoining pipe The wooden pipes, of which at one time over 400 miles were in use, leaked considerably, decayed rapidly, burst during frosts and were always troublesome. It was not until 1880 that they began to be supersed ed by cast iron, and quarter of a century later some of the old wooden pipes were still in use.
