HIGHEST PEAKS NOT 'CALEDI
Mountain Climbers Discuss Possibility
Of Daring Rsre Atmosphere
Above $4,000 Feet.

At meeting Of the Royal Geograph-
ical society, DIR. A. M. Kellas presented
an elaborate discussion Of the question
whether 1t Is possible for well-trained
mountalneers TO ascend to the sum-
mits Of the loftier peaks Of the Hlma-
laya mountains, more than 25,OO0 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 Hlmalayas
feet. At that height the barometrlc
pressure and the oxygen supply Is
only about one-third' as great as Mt 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 balloon does not give
the aeronaut time to become accllma-
tlzed to grelt attitudes. On the basis
Of large amount Of data Doctor Kel-
las (hlmself an experienced mountain
cer) expresses the opinion that man
in frst-rate training, accllmatized 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 nm 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.

Stone shlps Not Entirely New.

While stone ships, such as are being
made now for the governments use In
the war, are considered quite novelty,
they really are not so new after all.
Away back in 1849 n boat Of concrete
was launched by Frenchman named
Lambot. Since then there have been
many experiments with this type OF
vessel and many forms Of concrete
boats have been aoated successfully,
The Dutch and the Italians have been
using concrete barges for long time.

Electricity Routs Drudqery.

Domestic drudgery is being rapidly
lessened by electricity. A recently in
vented electric scrubber cleans 5000
square feet OF floor in an hour, and
this has been followed by an electric
floor pollsher that does In a few min
utes work that often requires hours Of
arduous hand labor. The machine Is
connected to the nearest lamp socket.
The wax being spread over the floor
by the means provided, heavy brlstle
brush making 5000 revolutions per
minute quickly gives n smooth and
brilliant surface, with no MD except
guiding over the floor.
