Or. Sven Hedin on Discoveries and
Adventures I'm Tibet.


Any one who has read Henry Savage
Landor's account of his penetration into
Tibet and THE Forbidden City will
welcome the opportunity afforded by Or.
Sven Hedin in his work "Trans-Him-
alaya," to become further informed as
10 the wonders of this strange and fas-
cinating portion Of the earth. There
seems 10 be an irresistible attraction to
explorers in this remarkable country.
where the people have so long lived free
from outside intrusion and for centuries
guarded jealousy their secrets and their
religion.
DR.. Hedins book is a narrative Of the
most adventurous travels OF recent years
describing a journey which yielded more
valuable results to science than any other
of modern times. 1t is not only valuable
from scientific standpoint. but adds a
thrilling page TO the worlds history Of
hazardous exploits and achievements in
the line OF exploration and discovery. No
inconsiderable part Of the interest in the
work is found in the 3SS illustrations from
photographs. water-color sketches, and
drawings by the author.
The two volumes are dedicated to the
Earl OF Mimic, Viceroy OF India.
The limits OF short review do not SUI
flee TO do justice 10 this painstaking and
exhaustive account by DIT. Hedin OF his
travels. He has described the people of
Tibet and their customs with a marvellous
regard for detail. and has sketched for
the readers benefit a great variety of
types. He has reached places hitherto
unexplored, and in this age OF ours. when
the unknown parts Of the earth are
growing fewer day by day, there can be
no question Of the extraordinary interest
which a work of this calibeT should COM
mand. (New York: Tie Macmillan Com

There is a certain young Broad
street broker whose recent sad expert
ence in ~endeavoring to pull the wool
owe his wife's eyes has led him to de
clare never again."
Now, it is the brokers custom to
take a $50 suburban train, thus en-
abling him to reach his home in West
chester in ample time for the early
dinner that both he and his wife like.
The other day he fell. Meeting an
old college mate he yielded to the lat.
ter's entreaties for an evening in town.
The next step was, of course, to telO-
graph the wife, which he did in these
terms: "Unavoidably detained. Missed
the $50. Home later"
When hubby finally did show up, he
observed an expression on the
tenance of his spouse that argued fail
ure OF his little ib.
What's h trouble, dear?" he
asked, with an affected nonchalance.
Without a word the wife handed him
the telegraph slip, indicating with her
f%orefinger the words:

so the young people triumphed over
