SECRET OF A GREAT RIVER.

The Headwaters of the Brahmaputra-Au
Explorer in Disguise.
Descending from the Himalaya mount
along the southern border of Thibet is
the river Sanpo, which has been the sub
ject of more geographical controversy
than any other river in the world. No
body has known whether this large river
was the headwaters of the Brahmaputra
and reached the sea through India, or
whether it fed Irawady and flowed
through Burmah. Most geographers
have been disposed to identify it with
the Brahmaputra, but as late as January
last year, Mr.. Robert Gordon, the leading
authority on the photography of the
Irawady, read a paper in London to show
that the Sanpo must be tributary to the
Burmese river.
In the southeast corner of Tibet is a
region marked on some maps as "The
Country of Robber and Wild Tribes"
These tribes have guarded the secret of
the Sanpo. No explorer, white or In
dian, has ever penetrated their country.
The last to try it was the now famous
traveller, Ak, who had to turn back
three years ago from the threshold Of
the dreaded Mishmi country. The Mish-
mis- are still unvisited, but the secret of
the Sanpo has been solved beyond doubt.
1t is identical with the Dihong, the
north Brahmaputra, and is thus the head
waters of that Indian river.
Not far from the southern edge of
Tibet a river coming from the east
unites with the Dihong to form the
Brahmaputra. Messrs. Needham and
Wordsworth fifteen months ago followed
this branch far east until their explora-
tons joined those of Ak. proving that
the river was identical with the Zayul
Chu, whose upper course he had
thoroughly explored. The Zayul Chu is
therefore the eastern branch of the Brah-
maputra, instead of an affluent of the
Irawady, as Mr.. Gordon and some Chi
nese geograpers have believed.
The Zaynl Chu having now been as
oended east and northeast for several
hundred miles to its sources, it is certain
that the Sanpo can not join the Irawady
unless it either burrows under the Zayul
Chu or takes flying leap over 1t. 1t is
thus proved beyond doubt that the
Sanpo is identical with the northern
branch of the Brahmaputra. Another
geographical mystery has passed into the
realm of ascertained fact.
The explorer Ak is so called because
the names of the travellers in the employ
of the Indian government are not pub
lished until after they quit the service.
Ak travelled in the guise of a mer-
chant, and if his real character became
known in many regions north of India
his usefulness as an explorer would be
destroyed. York Sun.

it was decided to recommend the change
asked for.
Byers 81 Ogden petitioned to have Ninth
avenue south. from Second street 10 the
river bank, vacated. The Minneapolis d.
st. Louis Railway company joined in the
petition, and it was claimed that the
petitioners owned all the abutting
property; that the street has never been
used as public highway, and furthermore
that the topography, together with the
numerous railway tracks 10 be crossed, rem
der it permanently impracticable for such
use. The committee asked that the mill
company, which owns a tract adjacent, al
though not abutting on the street, concur
In the petition, for fear that at some time
the company might otherwise demand an
outlet.
+. +. Shaw appeared before the commit
tee and offered TO devote a strip Of land for
a public highway through Florence court,

adverse TO accepting the donation, owing to
the fact that 1t would not conform TO any
other street and it would establish a bad
precedent.

AT their weekly meeting yesterday morn
ing the city pastors devoted themselves to
discussion of the devil in the churches, in
the shape of worldliness. The regular pa
per was read by DR.. r. A. Torrey and de-
tailed the sources of power IN the ministry.
He talked of faith and single-heartedne
and strongly deprecated sensationalism in
the pulpit, pointing to Spurgeon and Moody,
the preachers of God as compared with
the Talmages mot mentioned) and the sci
entihc lecturers. Ministers, in order to pop
ularize themselves, choose sensational top
les and deliver highly-colored discourses,
instead of preaching the Christ.
Some of the other preachers, in COM
Eenting upon the paper, dropped into the
old line of worldliness in the church and
the discussion grew quite personal-to the
churches. Those church societies. gener-
ally composed of the young people. who
have something in life to enjoy, which
gave cantataS in the lecture
rooms. were scored and several
ministers raised their ewes i'm
holy horror at the manner in which religion
was pushed aside. Good church members
are getting into the habit of attending balls
and theaters, of playing progressive euchre
and drive whist, and of thinking of things
other than than the salvation of their nre-
cious souls, and it was all wrong. The di-
TectiOn of the times was to lead young
people to church for amusement instead of
religion. and some of the ministers wanted
to call convention of clergymen to put a
stop to it. ''When are you going to have
theatrical entertainment in your church?n
was the shocking question asked one of the
ministers only the other day.
One of the ministers who sat quietly
through the discussion, said afterward:
''Some of our good brethren seem in favor
of sober, solemn and austere religion, of rob-
bling the worship of God of all that is
happy, cheerful, bright and attractive 1
don't. / love to see young people glowing
and CHEEKY in their church affairs, and l
don't expect them to go through the world
in smileiess. solemn and hopeless way.
The church should attract, not repel."
