Buddhism, some idea of the country
itself Is necessary.
The bulk of Thibet is the Chang, or
Great Thibetan Plateau. the highest as
well as the largest, tableland on the
earth. AS to area, II occupies all the
central and northern and most OF the
western sections of the country. An
idea of it's elevation may best be OBJ
tanned from the statement of Captain
Hamilton Bowcr, one or the most
highly regarded of recent authorities,
from the end of June until the mid
die Of November the average attitudes
OF our camps was over $1,000 feet the
lowest being 1881, and the highest
1880 feet" OF the climate the same
explorer says: "No amount of wool
en- clothes will keep out the wind on
the Chang, so skins must be taken"

the enormous stretch of country
crossed by Captain Bowers party did
not show single tree, and only two
species of shrubs, and these rarely ex-
ceeded six inches in height They
found a large number of Towering
plants and grasses. however, while for
variety the landscape, both on the
Chang and elsewhere, is diversified in
many places by gigantic masses of rock
and terrific precipices. This is, in
fact what is POLITICALLY known in
Asia as the Roof of the World" and
at the southwest corner Of it, at Gilgit,

The hideousness or sublimity-ac-
cording to the view one takes-of ma
ture on the Chang, and in other parts
of Thibet, is not left to itself. AS in
the Tyrol and other Catholic countries
one sees wayside crosses and pic
turesque shrines, so in Thibet, only
far more frequent, are the huge rock
cut images which are supposed to rep
resent the Buddha, the "chortens" or
monuments of religious character,

Ever since the days of Marco Polo,
who entered Thibet in the fifteenth
century as the envoy of Venice, Thibet
has been famed as the nursery of East
ern magic. Marco Polo tells In his
book Of travels weird stories of magic
wrought before his eyes and those OF
his companions at the table of a per-
sonage whom he calls the Khan. 1t
was Marco Polo, too, who told OF the
ladder trick" and so earned for him
self the reputation of a splendid liar
through twenty generations, until,
early in the nineteenth century. the
same ladder trick was performed again
and again in India and was circum-
stantially recorded by DR.. Norman Nc
Leod Psychologists of material bent
explain many Of these marvels now
adays by hypnotic suggestion, but
many Western followers of Buddhist

The Neglect Cure for warts.

Warts are curious things. They
come and go mysteriously, although
their going is frequently marked by
exasperating delays, and they are al
most as many infallible cures as there
are warts, the only trouble with these
cures being that they are useless when
applied to the particular wart you
happen to have. They are only good
for other peoples. "In my opinion"
said club man, who was discussing
the subject with friend one day, "a
wart is merely the outward CORE
spondence of some mental excresence.
Get rid OF that, and it goes away.
Let me give you bit of my own ex-
perience," he continued. Last year
went to Europe. For about three
years I had had a wart on my little
finger, on which / had tried every
thing I could hear of, but without eff
feet. 1t only grew larger. Well, in
the excitement Of preparing for the
trip and Of the journey itself, I for
got all about my wart, and when I
looked for 1t, about six weeks later,
1t had vanished, without leaving the
slightest mark. simply forgot 1t, and
it had no mental condition to feed on.
see you have one on the back of yo1r
hand. Forget all about it for few
weeks, and 1t will go away Of itself.

MYSTERIOUS 7fIDEg49'A
10 DEODENED TO TrENbp4|tDg
p

The presence in ST. Petersburg OF a
mission of four high officials of Thibet,
the first representatives of that prac-
tically unknown country to visit
Europe, and the announcement that the
Dalai Llama. ruler of Thibet. has been
persuaded to himself visit Russia. is
locked upon as indicating that the bar
riers which have closed the white man
out of "The Forbidden Land" will soon
be let down to civilization.
A Buria from TransbaIgalia, named
Akhorambo Atchwan Dorschieff, who
has gained the favor of the Dalai
Llama of Tibet, came to Livadia last
October and was received by the EN-
peror. He returned to Thibet and sue
ceeded in persuading the Dalai Llama
to send special mission to st. Peters
burg to open friendly relations with
this country. This mission has ar
rived under the guidance of Dorshieff,
and has been received by Count Lams-
dorff. 1t consists of four persons, one
of whom is the Dalai Llama's second
secretary. 1t brings an autograph let
ter from the Regent Of Thibet to the
Car.
The Russian newspapers attach much
Importance to this journey, and no
doubt properly. 1t marks another step
in the extension of Russian influence
toward the Indo- Chinese possessions Of
France. The Russians regard the es-
Enlistment of a chain of communica-
tons across the rear of the Indian EN-
pire and the permanent isolation of
India from the Yang-tse-K iang valley
as practically assured.
The present is the first opportunity
that Russia has had TO make overtures
to Thibet-for, although it is a coun-
try Of 651,500 square miles, with a
population estimated at over 5000 900,

Some Uneducated Dogs.

Cardinal Pedro Gonzales who was q
pious man and believed in the gospel
of peace. once noticed that priest in
his train carried weapon under his
cloak. Whereupon the cardinal re-
proved him, saying that a cleric
should not carry arms. True" an
swered the priest humbly, "but carry
the weapon only to defend myself
should be attacked by dog" "In
that case" said the cardinal. "and ii
I saw a dog running toward me /

John" That returned the priest,
would be wise thing, indeed, but
may it not be that there are some dogs
that do not understand Latin?"

According to Nature, most reputa-
BILE authority in scientific matters, a
''momentous discovery in relation to
the origin of species among plants has
been made by Prof. de Yries, the fam
Gus botanist and biologist of Holland,
His observations indicate that new
plant species appear suddenly by muta-
ton, never as the outcome OF q pro-
gressive variation; and he claims TO
have been able, for the frst time, to
watch the formation and development
of new species. In commenting on this
discovery Nature says that 1t is inaugu-
rates a new period in origin Of species
and evolution theories.

east by China proper, on the south by

which has led many piSus persons,
since Marco Polo's first account, to
trace in these proceedings the handi-
work of Satan. It is ALTO curious to
notice the close parallelsm between
this and the extant accounts of some
OF the graver miracle plays" Of me-
dieval Europe.
After long account q the prelim-
inaries Mr.. knight proceeds:
Under a canopy borne by attendants
walked tall form in beautiful silk
robes, wearing large mark represent
ing a benign and peaceful face. AS he
advanced men and boys, dressed as abb
bots and acolytes of the Church of
Rome, Frustrated themselves before
him. and adored him with informing
and pleasing chanting. He was fol-
lowed by six other marks, who were
treated with similar respect. These
seven deified beings drew themselves
in line and received the
alteration of several professions of
masked figures, some of abbots, and
Others beast headed, or having the
faces of devils Throughout
the day. even during the above solemn
act of worship, certain Yamas, masked
as comic devils, performed all manner
OF buffoonery, bursting into
peals of insane laughter each time that
one played some monkey trick on an
other.
Again there came a change. The
solemn chanting ceased, and then
rushed on the scene a crowd of wan
| shapes, almost naked, with but few
dark rags about them, as If they were
shivering with cold. They wrung their
hands despairingly and rushed about
in confused way, as If lost starting
from each other in terror when they
met, sometimes feeling about them
with their outstretched hands like blind
men, and all the while whistling in
long drawn notes which rose and fell
like strong wind on the hills.
The sudden onrushing of these wildly
whistling shapes occurred at frequent
intervals during the ceremony. The
change from one phase Of this curious
mummeTy to another was always
startling abrupt. One never knew
when some peaceful anthem and state
ly dance Of holy figures would be sud-
denly interrupted by the clashing dis
cord OF cymbals and trumpets and the
whirling torrent of shrieking fends.
AT one period OF the ceremony a
holy man with an Archbishop's inter
on his head advanced, to the beautiful
chanting Of men and boys, the basses,
trebles, and tenors taking successive
parts in solo and chorus. This
holy man blessed goblet Of water by
laying his hands on it and intoning
some prayer or charm. Then he sprink-
led the water in all directions, and
the defeated demons staid their Shrek
ing, dancing, and Internal music and
gradually crept out Of the arena, and
no sound was heard for time but the
sweet singing of the holy choir"
