Uncle Harry Talks About
People Who Lire in Clouds

1T is always interesting to me TO
discover in times like these, when
the interest OF the entire world is
centered in something like the Dis
armament Conference" said Uncle
Harry. "that there are scientists who
continue their research work just as
though there were no such things as
wars, battles and all the problems
that arise out of our compleNing
civilization.
Have you any special news in
mind" asked Helen. Il read the
paper every day and there is so much
news about the Conference at Wash
ineton. that IL is hard TO realize that
there is any other important news.
"Of course. the news from Wash
ington these days is undoubtedly the
most important news said Uncle
Harry. "But every day, in looking
over the paper. 1 find news items and
dispatches about other subjects that
are really very important.
High Attitude and the
Human Machine.
For instance, just a few days
ago, I read an exceedingly interest
ing dispatch about a group OF Amer
ican and British scientists who are
now on their way to South America
They will make their headquarters
in town named Cerro de Pasco
Peru. which is situated in the Andes
mountains at a height OF more than
1900 feet, which is considerably
more than two miles above sea level
This little South American town IS
one OF the loftiest places on the
globe where any considerable num-
Der OF people live.
Most OF the men living there
work in a copper mine which is near
the town
The dispatch that I read said that
the object OF the men who are on
this expedition is to visit this town
in the clouds and study the changes
In the heart. circulation and respira-
ton and in the chemical composition
OF the blood which enable the per-
manent residents to live in comfort
and TO do arduous work in the cop
per mines at an altitude at which
most people would be able TO do
comparatively little on account Of
the rarihcation OF the air.
Doctors and AViators Interested.
This article went on to explain
that it is believed that the informa-
ton gained by these visiting scien-
hsts from our own country and Great
Britain about the way in which the
human body adopts itself TO a re-
3uced supply OF oxygen will prove
useful 10 physicians in various parts
Of the world in the treatment OF cer-
tain diseases OF the heart and lungs
In which strikingly similar condi-
tions occur. The problem is also of
interest TO aviators who frequently
suffer from the effects OF flying at
high attitudes.
Il don't mean to give the idea that
the scientists who are on this trip
ne not Interested just as we are. in
$he results OF the Disarmament Con-
ftFence at Washington. The point
I had in mind was that scientific
men-to whom the world Is much
Indebted for a great deal OF the
