TWINS LOOK LIKE DEPEw.
Brothers, Aged 81, Bear Striking
Resemblance to Each other.

Brothers, Aged 81, Bear Striking
Resemblance to Each other.
London. Dec. 1.-two remarkable twins
celebrated their birthday in the city this
week. Twins are common enough. but It
Is rare, indeed. that the pair of them
attain the age Of eighty-seven years. But
in the case OF David and Jonathan Cod
ner Citing Christian names. indeed. they
have reached this age without severing
their partnership, il one may thus ex-
press it.
The pair. who are leading merchants
in the city and who BY the way. bear a
striking resemblance to Chauncey NJ
Depew, were born in Devonport in 1913.
and until they reached middle age It was
a matter OF considerable difficulty TO tell
them apart; while even now. at the ad-
vanced age Of eighty-seyen. 1t is not
easy to detect which is which, so great
is the resemblance The most curious
part is that they are both active and
have known but little illness. They are
keen amateur photographers, and take
an interest in rowing. as those at Devon
port can testify.
There is every indication that the
brothers will touch the century mark,
thus constituting a worlds record.

British political agent at Sikkim, made
two expeditions into Bhutan last year
and during the late summer. details OF
which are now published for the first
time.
During the first journey, which was
undertaken to invest the Tongsa Pen
lop. the ruler of Bhutan, as a knight
commander of the Indian empire. FOR
the services he rendered during the
Tibet campaign. the entire country was
crossed, and portions Of Tibet which
had not been visited by white men were
traversed. Everywhere Mr.. White was
received with absolute friendliness.
Met by the Ruler.
The Tongsa Penlop, himself. under
took a dificuIt and dangerous journey
of over ten days from his residence at
Biaga to meet Mr.. White at Lhakhang.
At Lhalong monastery, one of the most
noted In Bhutan, the chief incarnate
lama is the nephew Of the Ton6sa Pen
lop. Here a great reception was organ
lied in honor of the British political
agent
As the caravan approached up the
gorge toward the ancient monastery IT
was met by masses of lamas all wear
ing dark-red robes. When Mr.. White
and the Tongsa Penlop had been
escorted up to the monastery an extra
ordinary lama dance was organized in
their honor. This took place in the
courtyard of the monastery, the various
dancers wearing grotesqUe masks Of
animals heads.

White was beyond the limits of Bhutan

period through hitherto unknown parts
Of Tibet.
Curious Animal
Mr.. White came across the takin
(Budorcas aXieOlOr), an exceptionally
rare animal, which, so far as Is known,
had never been previously seen alive or
shot by a European. Mr. White was
presented with a very fine specimen by
the Tongsa Penlop. but it died in the
Cl.Umbi Valley on its way home.
Its habitat is just below the snow
line. This extremely rare animal
which in appearance is half OK. half
antelope. is stated by the natives TO
exist only in three places in Bhutan.
The foothills of Bhutan are admir-
ably adapted for the cultivation of rub
Der, &c, and the people are extremely
anxious to trade with us. Eventually
it IS stated, they viii form a valuable
market for Manchester cotton goods.
Mr. White discovered shorter route
TO Lassa than the one now known.
