The immense territory of Thibet Is
almost completely surrounded by noun
tain ranges of appalling magniture,
which, especially along the southern,
western and northern frontiers, consti
tute formidable barriers against in.
gress. From the Pamir Plateau, in the
extreme west-''the worlds backbone"
-radiate the great natural ramparts
which shut out India on the one hand
and the Tartar countries of Bokhara
and Turkestan on the other. No Asiatic
or Western conqueror has ever dared
to penetrate this mountain world; and
even Genghis Khan, the scourge OF
Asia, whose ravages extended from
Pekin In the East to Moscow In the
West was obliged, when Invading
Northern India, TO take the circuitous
route, via Kashghar and Afghanistan
instead of crossing Thibet. Secure on
their lofty plateau, and practically iso.
lated from the rest Of the world, the
people of Thibet have remained undis.

characteristics for which we might vain

guncotton is exploded with great diff
ficulty, and II is in this condition that
it is stored away in magazines and
used as shell-charging explosive.
The wet guncotton, in the process Of
pressing in its manufacture at the
United States torpedo station, is sub
jected to pressure of about $500
pounds to the square inch, and the
pressure has been carried to Is, 900
pounds without causing explosion.
Dry, loose guncotton burns with n
fash, but without explosion; wet com
pressed guncotton will not burn until
the moisture is dried out of it. In the
torpedo station experiments ton OF
wet guncotton has been placed in a
bonfire, where it slowly burned away
without explosion.

Born in n snur Mill,

Gilbert Stuart, the artist, who made
so familiar to Americans the features
of Washington and his wife, was once
visited by two Philadelphia artists.
One of the artists asked Stuart for
a pinch of snuff from the box in which
he was inserting thumb and finger
every few minutes, and then applying
them to his nostrils.
81 will give it to you," said Stuart,
proffering the box, ''but advise you
not to take it. Snuff taking is u vile
habit and should be avoided"
"Your practice contradicts your
precepts, Mr.. Stuart" answered the
gentleman.
''Sir, I can't help it," replied
Stuart. "Let me tell you a story.
Once was travelling during a very
dark night, and coachee dumped us
in ditch. We scrambled up, and on
finding by examination that our legs
and arms were unbroken thought OF
the poor fellow shut up in the baske Ell

senseless and his neck twisted awry.
"a passenger began to untwist the

head straight on his shoulders. The
senseless man, recovered by the
wrench, roared out:

hat there we're few true silver men

that white supremacy was absolutely

1896. That such q victory could be
won and still not be under any obli-

If the Ransomites and railroad attOr-

they can defranchise voters by law;
they can pass an election law to dis.
franchise men by keeping them of
