HIGHEST AND LOWEST
 POINTS IN CALIFORNIA
Rr AnaocInted Pres.

Washington, June 1.-The highest and lowest points in the United States are in California, within 90 miles Of each other, says a bulletin issued by the Geographical Survey. Mount Whitney, tine highest point, is 14,501 feet above sea level and in Death valley there is depression that lies s76 feet below sea level.---
 The difference in height of these two points is small. however. the survey states, as compared with the difference in the height and depth of land in Asia Mount Everest rises 2s.002 feet above sea level whereas the shores of the Dead Sea lie 1,s90 feet below.
 Information in the hands of the sur vey shows that the greatest depth yet found in any ocean is 33,0SS feet, a depth at a point about 40 miles north of the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. This would make the bottom of the sea at that point more than II F miles below the sum init of Mount Everest
