This Still Unconquarad Peak U In Wild Country That la Extremely Difficult to Traverse and Has 8b Far Defiad the Survayora of India. Vor mo ny years the East Indian gov ernment has prohibited any nttomptat the ascent of Mount Everest As loug l ago ns 11)02. six European Alpinists set out for India to view tho world from the top of iia highest mountain. But (lie virgin snows of EvercHC could not have cooled their ardor Ui'.lf so rapidly as did the cold water with which the Indiun covcrmueut soused them. The mountaliieers simply uiet with a blank refusal, and Ibo reason of it wua per fectly obvious unil logical. The nearest approach of a railroad toward Mount Everest Is about 100 miles away. 'J'o tho uortu or this rail road termbiul is a succession of par allel ranges of tho Himalayas separat ed by deep valleys. It Is one of the most difficult countries In the world to traverse, and no white man bus ever crossed It. ' . . The surveyors of India have never been nearer than eighty miles from Mount Everest. Some of tbe valleys are peopled by a few wild tribes who fiercely resent the intrusion of any strangers. The whole country' lies In Nepal, which while still an Independ ent state strli-tly forbade any iiurson to go north aiunng these mountains, and since Nopal cume under the suzerainty of India the prohibition has been con tinued, for obvious reasons, by the In dian govcrniheut. When the ascent of Mount Everest is. finally made It will probably be on Uio side of Tibet, whose southern boundary is not fur from the mountalu, but by her agreement wilh China tho Indlau government is bound to keep explorers from crossing into Tibet from India. Permission was refused to Svon lledlu to cross the border on his last great expedition, when he finally crossed from I.adakh. : t Somo Interesting facts about .Mount Everest may not generally be known. Many persons have wondered bow the determination of the height of Mount Everest could be so exact that its ele vation Is fixed at precisely 29.002 feet In happened in this way: In 1840 and 1800 six trigonometrical determinations ot tile height of the mountain were ob tained by tbe Indian survey nt six dif ferent stations, all south of the moun tain. The height of 20,002 feet as signed to Mount Everest was the mean of the six different values for the height just obtained. But the geographical survey of India informed the world hi 1008 that Mount Everest Is higher than it was computed to be by those six trigonometrical de terminations, it reported that between 1SS1 and 1002 six other determinations of the height of the mountain were made at five stations, all excepting oue being nearer to the mountain than the previous surveys. These six now deter m Inntlons gave a mean value of 20,141 foot utter correction for refraction. Ac cording, therefore, to our present in formation, Mount Everest is 130 feet higher thou it was earlier computed to be. . Why Is It, then, that this latest re sult of the scientific computation of the height of Mount Everest has not yet appeared in books and maps? It is because tbo"' Indian survey is not convinced tbat the final detcrminatiou has been reached. It says that the height, 20,141 feet, is a more reliable result than 20,002 feet, but the more recent determination is still probably too small. It desires to acquire mora thorough knowledge of the problems ot refructlou and of the effects of devi ations of gravity upon trigonometrical work before announcing tbe final de termination of the elevation of the world's highest mountain. Meanwhile ft will retain on Its maps tbe first de termination of 29,002 feet This decision certainly commended itself. It would bp more vexatious than useful to change' the figures now and then in order to add or subtract a few feet as the latest determination of the mountain's height It is better to wait until refinement of ' scientific method yields tho closest approximation pos sible. This Is tbo suggestion of tho In dian survey, and all mnp makers have apparently adopted it.. New York Times. As tha Timea Change. In tbe sixties the customary pro posal was, "Will you be mine?"
