The only point which need ba considered-would-be-to what height an airman could rise. If the peaks above 24,000 | feet ware excepted, and one se sumed that an sirman would fy 1,000 feet above the mountains to lessen the danger due to the winds that often swept across the ridgee, it might be said that an sirman could cross the range at 25,000 feet."
Is a chapter of bie as book on Germany Mr. J. W. Garnid, fortherly American Ambassador in Berlin, gives his experiences of the methods of German spisa. Appended are some extracia :—

be another matter. On many mountains of the Himalaya range fields of snow were met with, in positions which were almost in accessible, and an airman once landed might find himself marooned.
