Descriptive text from separate pages at the back which cannot be supplied (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used)ABOVE THE CLOUDS: A HIMALAYAN SCENE. It is from Darjeeling, which lies high on the sides of the Himalayas, that this strange and beautiful picture is taken. A deep valley, and the tops of mountains which in any other country would be reckoned to be giants, are hidden deep under the soft cloud-bed, but, far away on the distant horizon, above the clouds, arises a line of snow-clad peaks. These are giants indeed, for they are the monarchs of the Himalayas, the loftiest mountain range in the world. More than forty miles in a straight line from Darjeeling Mount Everest raises its head five and a half miles (29,002 feet) into the air. Farther to the east is Kanchanjanga, 28,150 feet, while map makers of the Indian Survey speak of other and yet higher peaks behind, whose full stature has not yet been ascertained and recorded, but which are believed to top even Mount Everest itself.
