Scientific paper

A FORMER student of mine, Mr. S. Couling, has recently ascended T'ai Shan, the loftiest of the sacred mountains of China, and one of the most ancient and popular places of pilgrimage. He believes that the height of it above the surrounding plain has never before been measured, and has sent me his observations to reduce. The elevation from the plain to the summit comes out at 4780 feet; whilst a temple vaguely stated to be about 400 feet below the summit is, as ascertained by barometer, 4485 feet above the plain.
