TO CLIMB MT: EVEREST.
Reference to à forthcoming attempt to scale Mount Everest, the bighest mountain peak in the world, was made by Lieutenant Colonel” – Sir Francis Younghusband, President of the Royal Geographical Society, speaking at the anniversary meeting of the society in the Æsker Hall. Colonel the Hon. Charles Bruce, Major Rawling, and others, he said, had had that project in mind for some time past, and for the last year both the Alpine Club and Geogra phical Society !ad been definitely entertaining the idea of helping for ward the achievement of this object. They hoped within the next few years to hear of, a human being standing on the pinnacle of the earth.
"
Although there was no more use in climbing Mount Everest than in kicking a football about, or dancing. he believed the accomplishment would do a great deal of good. It| would elevate the human spirit, and would give, men, especially, geogra- |phers, a feeling that they were gradually getting the upper hand on the Earth, and that they were acquiring a true mastery of their surroundings.
