“CIANT OF ANDES” [ DEFEATS CLIMBERS Chimborazo, Ecuador’s High- est Peak, Recently Scaled by Americans, However. “Mount Chimborazo, recently scaled by American scientists, is the loftiest peak in Ecuador, rising nearly four miles above sea level,” says a bulletin | from the headquarters of the National | Geographic Soclety. i “Chimborazo is called the ‘Giant of | the Andes’ Until the Andean peaks| ‘were surveyed. the old volcano, now in- active, was called the loftiest pesk in South America, but surveyors have| found seven other peaks that top it. | “Guayaquil, Ecuador’s largest seaport, 48 nearly 100 miles southwest of Mount Chimborazo, but the huge bulk of the mountain even dominates the landscape | as seen on clear days from the rails of | incoming vessels. Surrounding peaks more than three miles high seem to vie With the height of the Chimborazo sum- | mit, but even Cotopaxi Volcano, the next highest Ecuador peak, would have to stretch 983 feet higher than its present | 19,613 feet to equal it. | Railroad Skirts Mountain, “The Yankee-built Guayaquil-Quito | Tallroad skirts Mount Chimborazo about | half-way between the Port and the| Ecuador capital. At Riobamba, a small ‘r mountain town of 12,000 inhabitants, the trains stop overnight. Since Chim- borazo is but a short distance from this point passengers can get a close-up of the Andean giant. When the sun is shining, the snow-clad slopes glisten With every color of t| ainbow and in the evening these rainbow colors merge into a golden glow, appearing as though Bature had wrapped the whole mountain in a golden robe. “From Riobamba Chimborazo's sum- mit does not appear afar off. It is but & few miles away as the crow flies, but stout-hearted mountain climbers have | left comfortable hotels and inns to scale | its height, only to return unsuccessful and exhausted. “Humboldt attempted to scale Chim- borazo in 1802. He turned back when h: was 1000 feet from the glaci ridged summit. Thirty years later a Frenchman and an American reached 2 point 400 feet above Humboldt's mark and gave up the climb. It was not un- til another half century had passed that Chimborazo's uppermost secrets were made known to the world by Ed- ward Whymper, an Englishman. “Chimborazo’s human neighbors are mostly Indians, some of whom are de- scendants of the Incas and Spaniards. ‘The Indian farmers, contented in their mud, thatched-roof houses surrounded popular girls in the younger element of the Ci THE _SUNDAY - CHARMING TEXAS GIRIS MISS JANET SHEPPARD AND MISS SUSAN SHEPPARD, Daughters of Senator Morris Sheppard of Texas and Mrs. Sheppard, two of the | yards, according to the nature of the - ‘'ongressional Club. —Underwood Photo. | country STAR, IENGINEER VISIONS ARPLANE TROLLEY French Inventor Would Link Paris and Peiping in 30-Hour Trip. WASHINGTON, PARIS (#)—Paris to Peiping fm 30 A " hours and the solution of the ever-in creasing problem of city trafic are two |of the results promised by the “lght airplane trolley,” an invention which Joseph Archer, a French engineer, in- | tends to demonstrate in Paris within a | few months. | “Traffic in the air will decrease and relieve traffic in the streets,” M. Archer says. “Instead of entering our houses | through the street doors we will enter | them from the roofs.” Menorail Furnishes Power. | . The imvention is based upon the fol- lowing principles: The vehicle, a monoplane body, moves upon & suspguded monorail of wire. The motive wer is a propeller worked by a 15-horsepower electrical motor which obtans lis curreat from | the monorail or trolley wire, The weight of the machine is cushioried upon the air by finlike wings, just as is an aft- plane, and does not bear down upon the | supporting power wire. | ¢ plane’s body is stream-lined to | reduce air resistance, giving ,a speed of | 150 miles an hour.

Electric devices, reversing the current and propeller, will stop the plane inside of 100 yards, but the aercdynamic brake, in the shape of an umbrella, ghced at the rear of the monoplane ody and automatically opening when the current is shut off, will assist in pounds.
