Automobile in Thibet.

New York.-A special cable dispatch
from Lonion states that one sequel to
the British intrusion into the forbidden
land of Thibet, from which age-long
custom excluded western inventions,
will be the immediate introduction of
the automobile. Captain Connor, Brit
ish trade agent at Cyantse. is taking
an eighty-horse power motor carfor the
use of the grand lama of Tashi
Lhumpo. The incongr;,ity is in
creased by the fact that neither cart
roads nor carts are known IN the neigh
borhood of Tashi Lhumpo and the mo-
tor will be the first wheeled vehicle
the natives have seen. The Tashi
Lama will have road made from his
monastery TO Cyantse. where there Is
a new British road.

prised Arkansan.


A former congressman, who at one
time was member of the committee
on naval affairs, tells of a meeting of
that committee to discuss the merits
of a bill looking to a change in the
| style OF the guns on a battleship then
being built.
strenuous objections to this meas
ure were made by rather bumptious
member then serving his first term
in congress; and in his remarks he
! displayed vast ignorance respecting
the elemental points of naval con-
struction and ordnance.
Upon the adjournment of the COM
mittees sitting, Chairman Foss spoke
with amusement of the notions held
by the new member. "That chap"
said ne reminds me of story

the hrst time. 1t concerned a repre-
sentative from Arkansas, who, like
our friend, had little knowledge
of sea craft. Indeed, it was said that
until he came here he never had been
aboard any sort of boat in his life.
| wen, one day they took him down
to Newport News, where he was
shown all over one of our new cruis-
ers. AS he strolled about the deck,
in company with polite young naval
officer, who was indicating to him the
points of interest on tie warship, the
man from Arkansas happening to
glance into an open hatchway sudden
