With cunning stealth he got out OF
bed and tiptoed out Of the room. For
ten minutes no sound broke the awful
stiffness; then the house shook with
a CRASH. There was a century OF ST.

door slammed and a heavy bundle

A of the important discoveries
made by Sven Hedin, the Swedish explor-
err. during his latest journey into the for
hidden land of Tibet, according to a
Simla interview telegraphed to the Lon
don Times. is as follows He found the
true sources of several important rivers,
including the Brahmaputra and Indus,
and twice crossed the Province of Bongba,
which had never before been visited W a
European. But his greatest discovery
was that of a continuous mountain chain
which, taken as a whole. is the most mass
i've range on the earth's surface. AL
though it's peaks are from 1000 to 1000
feet lower than Mount Everest its passes
average 5000 higher than those of the
Himalayan range. No a tree or a bush
grows on this range and there are no
deep cut valleys. for rain is scanty. Hedin
proposes to call this range the Trans
.HimaIaya. At first the explorer tried to
conceal his identity from the Tibetan and
Chinese officials, but when discovered he
boldly dared them to harm him, at the
same time warning them that they would
be made to suffer if they did so.

1t has just been learned that twenty
two members of the "~Ilchinhoi.' the pro
japanese organization of Korea, were
killed by Japanese gendarmes at Korea,
Cholado. Korea, q few days ago. The
affair has been kept quiet.
During the sessions of the British
Church Congress at London Socialism
was the leading topic of discussion and
the trend of the talk was distinctly fav-
orahle. The archbishop of Melbourne
told of the good effects of collectivist
legislation in Australia and the Rev. Al
gcrnon West declared that since Social
ism was bound to come it would be so
mich the worse for the church and the
cation if Socialism came without the
hurch.
Zia Bcy. former head Of the Turkish
secret service. who was known as the
butcher of Sultan Abdul Hamid. has sue
coded in escaping the vengeance of the
new regime. and is safe in London. He
brags of the numbers of high officials
who were executed by his orders. He says
he wishes the new regime well, and re-
rrets that his record forbids hope of for
civcness. Izzet Pasha, the fallen minis
ter Of the Sultan, is also safe in London,
but most of the officials of the old regime
are now in prison at Constantinople.
Marius Franzini. who was at one time
minister of war for Portugal, made an
unsuccessful attempt to commit suicide.
Senior Franzini is d prominent progress
sive. and his attempt to kill himself has
created much speculation in political cir
ales.
Emanuel Lasker. of New York. retains
his title as chess champion of the world.
AT Munich he won with surprising ra-
nidity the sixteenth and last game Of his
contest against DIR. Tarrasch. of Nnrem-
burg. OF the sixteen games played Tar
rasch won three, and five games were
drawn.
