AN UNKNOWN CITY.
No Foreigner Has Ever Set Foot in

Nc Foreigner Has Ever Set Foot in
the Capital of. Thibet.
Thibet is country forbidden to
European eyes, and no barbarian
has yet set foot in it's capital, LII ASA.
Yet a picture of the mysterious city is
eXtant. 1t is colored drawing by q
Thibetan artist who was attached to a
trading caravan. It is a curious piece
of work, possessing all the character
istics of Chinese art and is, Of course,
lacking in perspective.
Lh'asa is unique in this: 1t has
positively become less known and
more detached from external contact,
while the rest of the world. even to
the frozen solitudes of the north pole,
has been more and more completely
mapped by scientific explorers.
There can scarcely be a greater prize
than Lh'asa for The explorer of today.
While the most daring adventures
continue uniformly to record their re-
peated failures, an increasing sense Of
romance gathers around Lh'asa, and
some of the most daring brains in
Europe are now busy trying to find a
way through the barriers of the grow
ing mystery and romance. There is
no record of a single European having
entered it since NJ. Hue left it in 1916,
though many unsuccessful attempts
have been made to do so.
Although the mystery of Lh'asa has
deepened during the past fifty years.
of travel and exploration, it appears
that during the previous 500 years,
and especially during the previous ff-

Journey Through Mongolia and Thi-
bet Mr. Rockhill mentions no fewer
than eight European visits to Lh'asa
during those 500 years, beginning with
Friar Odoric in 1926 and ending with
Thomas Manning in 81, apart from
various other expeditions which went
far into Thibet, but not so far as
Lh'asa. Then there is the romantic

ARE AUTHORIZED BY LAW.
Trades Organizations Have a Legal
Standing in New Zealand.

Trade and labor are organized
throughout New Zealand and as such
are recognized and legalized by the
state in the act of 1894 says the Lon
don Daily Mail. The very title of that
act, though not changed originally
ran: An act to encourage the for
nation Of industrial unions;" and the
whole spirit Of the movement is that
both employers and wOTkmen should
form their unions and associations on
representative lines under the provi-
sions of the act, and that all questions
should be dealt with by the unions
and societies up to a certain stage
and then brought by them, and them
only, before the boards Of Cancellation
and ultimately, if necessary, to the ar
bitratiOn court
The trade and industrial unions Of
New Zealand are required to comply
with all the ordinary business safe
guards which should surround the cor
pOrate bodies which they form, and
then-but not till then-they are reg
iStered by the state and placed in a
position to act and be heard in indus
trial disputes. Penalties are attached
to all breaches of the provisions con-
trolling the unions, and in some cases
to enforce the award of the court they
are heavy, the maximum being $500
for each union, and failing the recOv-
cry Of this there falls q maximum liza
bility Of 10 on each member of it,
The effect of this registration is to
make the union and all it's members

by the act, and although the registra-
ton may be cancelled on the aDplica-
ton Of any union, this is done under
safeguards; and no cancellation is per-
mitted during the progress of any con-
Citation or arbitration proceedings af-
fecting the union which applies
Neither does such cancellation relieve
any union or its members from obIiga-
lions incurred in any previous award

Two Weeks Is Abaut the Average of

Owing to the natural difidence of

latter part of August upward Of
100000 of their own blood and kin
would come to the picnic, not counting
maggots in arms. Fortunately for
them, papa and mamma do not live
much more than fortnight. Even a

the task of keeping track of 100000
of descendants. AS Artemus Ward

Fortunately for US, flies do not live

However, it is well to point out
that the saving clause, it is estimated
