NEW MOUNTAINS
FOUND IN TIBET
Discovered Immense New
Mountain Chain in the Mys-
teriouS Country.

The most important discovery we
made in thus traversing diagonally the
whole Of Tibet was the gigantic chain
Of mountains we crossed by the Sela
Pass, which IS oyar 1900 feet, writes
Sven Hedin. in Harper's Magazine.
How little this chain OF mountains had
hitherto been dreamed OF IS evident
from. among other things, the SUPPOSE
ton INDUCED In by Sir Thomas Hold
rich in his book, Tibet the Mysterious, -
that the great central lakes Oangra
Yum Tso, Nganzl Tso. etc. were the
sources OF the Brahmaputra's northern
tributaries-that is 20 say, that there
was stretch Of relatively fat country
There In reality we found there was one
Of the highest ranges Of mountains IN
the whole world. chain which can be
compared only with the Himalayas and
their kind. Captain O'Connor suspected
their existence by hearsay. The chain
known as Min Chen Tangla which Is
situated south Of the Tengri Nor. was
well known and had been crossed by
Littledale and several others, but no
one knew that this chain stretched for
close upon 200 miles 10 the west-north-
west, as l now discovered. It is a
certainty that II also stretches TO the
east. and has a total length OF about
2 900 miles. The average height of the
passes is some few hundred meters
IlEuEI sAdu III the E1llldAtlEdS ana ABOUT
':le same as in the Kara-kOrum and
Arkataugh.
Mighty as is this excrescence on the
earth's surface, the Tibetans have no
name for its whole length. Countless
local names are given to the various
parts OF It. AS the range will in future
have TO be included not only in a knowl-
edge of the world. but also in the school
books. II becomes necessary for It 10
have a name, and so far as I can see
il would be best TO keep the name by
which its highest point IS already
known. viz, Min Chen Tangla. II
sounds strange, when one considers how
thoroughly the world has been explor-
ed, that In the year OF 1907 IL should
be vouchsafed 70 any one practically to
discover a range Of mountains 1000
miles long, and the surprise OF the dis
covery is intensified rather than dimin-
ished by the fact that here and there
the country traversed was already
known. And let US remember that such
q oiscovery cannot be made again. for
there Is no blank space big enough on
the map Of the world TO contain such a
range Of mountains.

lured the Cassidy girl from her home.
Mrs Cassidy was shown a picture Of
Hadley last night, and she says II re-
sembleB the man Blair IA many re-
spects. But a better md more positive
proof OF the Identification was found
In the handwriting OF Blair compared
with that OF HaSIey. The formation Of
the capital letters c, 3, and y are iden-

that year he inserted an advertisement
in the papers for a young girl wanted
20 take care OF a baby. The ad was
