SACRED BOOKS OF TIBET.

The sacred books of the Tibetans
are said to be the most extensive of
any religion, running into 1926 vol
umes, almost a library in themselves.
Tibet embraced Buddhism about the
seventh century of our era. The
Tibetans translated the doctrines
into 100 volumes under the name of
"Kangyna." And by way of exege-
sis and commentary they added 225
volumes. These books were printed
at Marthany in 1921 and another
edition was published at Peking.
Copies are to be found in the Biblio-
theque Rationale in Paris, in the
Asiatic museum in st. Petersburg
and at the India Office in London.

WHERE MOSKOWITZ GOT COLD
Peculiar Patois Of East Side New
Yorker Justified Mistake OF
Settlement Worker.

The patois of the typical New
York East slider is something of a
mystery to the uninitiated. Even
those who come in daily contact with
them are sometimes at a loss to quite
grasp the meaning of the attempted
English pronunciation. Myra Kelly,
whose magazine stories of East side
life are well known, tells a yarn
which humorously illustrates the
point.
A friend of Miss Kelly's, who is
interested in settlement work, met
Moskowitz one day, and Moskowitz
seemed very w~oebegone. "What's
the matter" asked the settlement
worker. "You look sick"
"Ches, I am SICK" replied Mosko-
witt. 81 got cold in de troit."
"'In Detroit ?" exclaimed the set
Element worker. "I didn't know
you had been west. When were you
in Detroit?"
"Not in Detroit-in de troit p

cifercusly jabbing his finger into his
Adams apple.

FORESTS AT SOUTH POLE.

Prof. David, who occupies the
chair Of geology in the University of
Sydney and who accompanied Sir
Ernest Shackleton to the antarctic,
has been making some interesting re-
marks on his discoveries there. The
fossil woods he had found showed
that pine forests had aourished in
the vicinity of the south pole at a re-
mote geological epoch. The coal
seams he had discovered suggested
the same conclusion. At that time
there was more Or less continuous
land from Australia to the south
pole. The climate all over the world
was at that period probably much
milder than at present.

WOMEN WHO DO THINGS.

and efficient way. Mrs. Zahle, the
wife of the new premier, is said to
be an expert stenographer and has
beer employed on the official report

since 1895. She was the first woman
to work there as a stenographer and

MAKING THE AGENT USEFUL.
Practical Woman o. To-day Wants
Sewing Machine Man to Do
Useful stunts.

"NerveT" said the sewing ma
chine agent. at takes people who
buy sewing machines to give a first
class illustration Of nerve. The
things they want to practice on
when learning to sew is what floors
me. There was a time when the
agent who was giving instruction in
the management of a sewing ma
chine did stunts with little squares
and diamonds of silk to show the
possibilities of the machine. But
the modern customer objects to such
a waste of time. She hunts up
something useful to seam and tuck
babies dresses, aprons, shirt
waists, and, as an extreme example,
a pair of overalls.
"'It won't take any longer to
teach us with these things than with
those absurd little gimcracks,' says
the practical woman, and then there
will be something TO show for your
work.
"And what can the poor agent do?
In a sense the woman is right. 1t
won't take any longer, so in order to
make a sale the agent turns himself
into a kind of dressmaker's and
t%ailor's apprentice"

HARD TO RECOGNIZE VOICE
Strange Fact That One 10 Generally
Unfamiliar with the Sound Of
Ones Vocal Organs.

The last person a man becomes
acquainted with is himself. He can
not see himself as others see him, nor
can he even hear his own voice with
the ears Of the rest Of the world. In
proof of this latter inability there
may be cited experiments made by
DR.. Laloy, a French scientist.
1t appears therefrom that if a
person records on a photograph a
few sentences pronounced by him
self, together with others by his
friends, and causes the machine to
reproduce these, it generally hap
pens that he easily recognizes his
friends voices, but not his own.
This fact proves that everyone hears
his own voice differently from others.
The difference lies in the quality
Of the tone. One hears his own
voice not only through the air, as
do his auditors, but across the solid
parts situated between the organs Of
speech and those of hearing. The
sound thus produced has a differ
ent timbre from that conducted to
the ear by the air alone.
Take the end of a wooden rod
between the teeth and pronounce a
vowel continuously. Let the other
end be alternately taken between the
teeth and released by another person
who at the same time stops his a r
The latter will find that every time
he seizes the rod in his teeth the
sound is stronger than when it
reaches the a through the air above
and has a different quality.-Los

Josephine. Daskam Bacon has ia

from Archangel There is a group of
islands with an area altogether of about
$4,000 square miles. of which Spitzbergen
proper Is the largest. The archipelago
was discovered in 1886 by William Bar

part of Greenland, until Henry Hudson
circumnavigated it, in 1907. The interior
is mountainous. some of the peaks rising
as high as 5000 feet. The name Spitz-
bergen means sharp mountain peaks"
The valleys are filled with glaciers, but
during the summer those on the west
side melt out, and that portion Of the
island is generally ice-free during July,
August and September. Several excur-

TRAINMEN HURT IN CRASH.
Oyster Special and Work Train Col
Tide at Relay.

BALTIMORE, January 27.-The Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad Company s
"Oyster Special for the west ran into
the engine Of work train at Relay last
night about TAO o'clock, because of a
misunderstanding of signals. The two
engines were greatly damaged and turned
turtle, and the engineers and fremen
of both were injured. Traffic was de-
layed. but the tracks were cleared by 2
o'clock this morning.
The injured are Leonard G. Rout. engi-
neer of the work train, leg sprained and
decorations about the body; T. ]. Welsh,
fireman of work train, scalded about the
body; John Fl. Deminnis, engineer of the
oyster special, rib broken; j. NJ. Strick-
lev, fireman of the oyster special, lacera-
lions.
1t was stated last night that the work
train had a clearing signal from st.
Dennis and was under control of the
dispatchers Investigation also showed
that a red light had been set for the
oyster train to stop, but because of his
injuries Deminnis was not permitted to
make any statement.
/ The work train was crossing from the
passenger to the freight tracks when
the accident occurred.
The work train engine keeled over on
its side, and the tender, which had been
thrown UP by the impact, came down on
top Beneath the wreck Rout and Welsh
were temporarily Gagged, and the steam
escaping from broken valves poured over
Welsh's body, causing him excruciating
pain Both say they feared they had
been caught in a deathtrap until they
found a small aperture beneath the en-
CINE. where it had gouged a hole in the
ground by its weight. and they emerged
on their hands and knees. Welsh later
became unconscious from pain.
Strickley. the fireman of the oyster
special, escaped almost unhurt, and his
good fortune, with that of his engineer
Deminnis-was considered remarkable.
