Mount Everest

Abstract

AN important event which will add greatly to our knowledge of physical geography, as well as of all branches of science, has come to pass. The permission of the Dalai Lama has been obtained to our entry into Tibet. For this we have to thank Sir Francis Younghusband for his early love of travel, which took him through so many miles of elevated wastes in Central Asia, culminating in his present influence, the result of a successful military expedition, and the presence to-day of a Political Officer in Lhasa, Mr. Bell.
