Necessary Use Of Consonants.

In a recent book on his adventures
In Tibet, Col. L. A. Waddell writes:
"One curious result Of the cold should
be mentioned here-namely, its effect
upon the speech Of the people. A pc
culiarity of the language OF the T!b-
etans, in common with the Russians
and most arctic nations, is the remark.
ably few vowels in their words and the
extraordinarily large number of con-
sonants. For example, the Tibetan
name for Sikhim is Hbrasljongs. In
deed, so full of oonsonants are Tibe-
tan words that most Of them could bs
articulated with almost semiclosed
mouth, evidently from the enforced
necessity TO keep the lips closed a.
far as possible against the cutting cold
when speaking"
