| HIGHEST PEAKS NOT SCALED
of Daring Rare Atmosphere
Above 24,ooo Feet.

At meeting of the Royal Geograph-
ical society, DR.. A. NJ. Kellas presented
an elaborate discussion of the question
whether it is possible for well-trained
mOuntaineers to ascend to the sum-
mits of the loftier peaks Of the Hima-
laya mountains, more than 5000 feet
in altitude, none of which has so far
been climbed.
The present altitude record in
mountaineering is $4,000 feet, by the
duke of the Abruzzi's expedition to the
Karakorum, 1909. The altitude of the
highest mountain in the HimaiayaS
and in the world-Everest-is 29,141
feet. At that height the barometric
pressure and the oxygen supply is
only about one-third as great as at sea
level, says the Scientific American.
The experiences of balloonists is not
conclusive as to the physiological diff
cultieS of such an ascent, because the
rapid rise of a balloon does not give
the aeronaut time to become acclima-
tiZed to great attitudes. On the basis
of large amount of data Doctor Kel-
las (himself an experienced mountain
eer) expresses the opinion that man
in firSt-rate training, acclimatized to
maximum possible altitude, could make
the ascent to Mount Everest, provided
the physical difficulties are not insu-
perable.
A supply of sodium peroxide, to pro-
vide oxygen as an occasional refresh
ment would be of much assistance. At
present one of the physical difficult
ties of ascending Everest is the fact
that the government of India will not
let travellers approach within one hun,
dred miles of the mountain.
