THE LONGEST MOUNTAIN CHAIN.
Discovery of Range in Tibet Extend
ing Fully 1000 Miles.

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 over $4,000 feet high.
How little this chain of mountains
had hitherto been dreamed of is evi.
dent from, among other things, the
supposition INDUCED in by Sir Thomas
Holdrich in his book, Tibet the sMys-
terious," that the great central lakes
(Dangra Yum Tso, Nganzi, etc. were
the sources of the Brahmaputra's s
northern tributaries-that is to say,
that there was a stretch of relatively
fiat country where in reality we found
there was one of the highest ranges
of mountains in the whole world, q
chain which can be compared only
with the Himalayas and their kind
Capt. O'Connor suspected their exist
ence by hearsay. The chain known as
Min Chen Tangla, which is situated
south of the Tengri Nov, was well
known and had been crossed by Little
knew that this chain stretched for
close upon twelve hundred miles to
the west-northwest, as l now discov-
cred. 1t is certainty that it also
stretches to the east, and has total
length of about two thousand miles.
The average height of the passes is
some few hundred meters higher than
in the Himalayas and about the same
as in the Kara-korum and Arkataugh.
Mighty as is this excrescence on
the earths surface, the Tibetans have
no name for it's whole length. Count
less l5cal names are given to the va
rious parts of it. As the range will
in future have to be included not
only in a knowledge of the world, but
also in the school books, it becomes
necessary for it to have name, and
so far as | can see it would be best to
keep to the name by which it's highest
point is already known, viz, Min Chen
Tangla. 1t sounds strange, when one
considers how thoroughly the world
has been explored, that in the year
1907 it should be vouchsafed to any
one practically to discover a range
of mountains two thousand miles long,
and the surprise of the discovery is
intensified rather than diminished by
the fact that here and there the coun-
try traversed was already known. And
let us remember that such a discov.
cry cannot be made again, for there is
no blank space big enough on the map
of the world to contain such a range

discouraged. Her limbs ached, and her

afraid of falling, felt for the ladder
and slipped down to the ground. Then
she heard the sound of carriage wheels
in the road, and before she realized
what had happened, CHEEKY voice

worked hard and fast against the

The Natural History Museum Has the
Only Specimens in the Country.
The strangest American animal and
also one of the rarest and least known
OF all mammals is the solenodon or
almiquo. Only two species are known
One peculiar to Cuba. the other to
the island Of Santo Domingo.
Although the solenodon is an insec-
tiveorous animal, yet in many ways it
resembles the rodents as well as the
ant eaters and is more like certain
fossil quadrupeds than like any other
living creature.
1t is about two feet in length, with
long, coarse hair and naked, rat
like tail. The forefeet are heavy and
strong and are provided with stout,
curved claws for digging and tearing
apart rotten logs. The nose is long
and slender and exceedingly mobile,
and the whole appearance of the ami
NAL is peculiar.
For many years the solenodon has
been considered extinct and practical
ly nothing was known of its habits.
Few museums of the world possessed
even fragments of the remarkable
animal.
In December, 1906, A. Hyatt Verrill
undertook trip to Santo Domingo in
search of this long lost animal and
succeeded in obtaining three living
specimens, which are now in the
American Museum and Natural His
tory in New York city and are be-
lieved to be the only specimens of
the Santo Domingo solenodon in the
United States, if not in the world

Give me no pity, nor spare me:
