YOUNGEST CLIMBER
The claim of tho 11-year-old English girl, Miss Pamola Wilkinson, to bo tho youngest porson ovor to have reached tho summit of Mont Blanc is contested, says tho "Daily Telegraph." M. Jaquos Bornes, a professor at a Paris college, has written to tho "Matin" stating that in 1900 ho climbed Mont Blanc at tho ago of 10 years and 7 months. As proof of his assertion, ho quotes tho report publishod by the local Press at the time of his feat. Miss Wil-, kinson, however, still holds one rocord. Sho is tho youngest member of her sex to have made the ascent.
