TO CLIMB MOUNT EVEREST
British Royal Geographical Society
Said to Be Contemplating Am
bilious Expedition.

Enormous interest has been aroused
Geographical society contemplates fit
ting out an expedition to attempt the
ascent of Mount Everest, in tho
Himalayas. For not only is this the
highest mountain on the globe; but II
Is also the worlds mystery mountain.
Although il was discovered 20 years
ago. no European has yet succeeded
in getting anywhere nearer than about
fifty miles to IL. much less setting foot
on its slopes.
This is because II so happens that IL
Is situated partly I'm Nepal and partly
In Tibet, and the governments of both
these countries object TO the presence
Of European explorers.
Besides this the Nepal base Of the
giant mountain is In any case prac.
tfcally unapproachable, owing TO the
dense Jungle growth. extending for q
width of 60 or 20 miles all round, and
into whose depths no white man may
venture and live.
The proposal now Is to attempt the
ascent from the Tibetan side. This Is
doubtless possible. but whether the
Summit can be reached or not is an
other matter.
Most experts say not, and point to
The fact that the duke of Abruzzi's
attempt to scale Mount Godwin-Aus-
til. Eserest's mighty neighbor. and
the second highest peak in the world,
resulted In failure.
He assembled as far "a, 800 feet, but
