PERILS OF EXPLORERS.
Tragic Journey Across a Desert Of
Central Asia by the Great Swe-
dish Explorer, Sven Hedn.

Central Asia by the Great Swe-
dish Explorer, Sven Hedin.
One OF the most trying OF the CEN
tral Asian adventures Of Sven Hedin,
the Swedish explorer. was this: In
February, 1895, Sven Hedin started
eastward. exploring the country be-
tween the Kashgar and Yarkand riv-
ers, proceeding in April to cross the
TakIa Makan desert, between the
Yarkand and Khotan rivers. Never
before had any known traveller at
tempted to exploit a course amid the
eternal sea of shifting sand hills from
river TO river. The tale Of that little,
travel worn, bedraggled group. far be-
yond the last watering place, envel-
Oped in dust. stumbling along through
the dreary but agitated desert sea by
crooks and roundabout ways, with
desOlatiOn spread around and every
trace Of life departed, was a weird
and pathetic one. Not even a iy was
to be heard in the air, not even a yel-
low leaf broke the mOnOtony."
And ever at their head was the
sturdy figure Of the Swedish explorer.
compass In hand, stin enthusiastic,
guiding them as best he could through
the death shrouded wilderness. At
length the camels had to eat their
straw saddles, and the last OF the
bread was gone. Horrors followed.
As men and camels dropped out of
the line they were Immediately envel-
Oped in the whirling sand shroud and
never seen again.
The end came on May 5. when Sven
Hedin, crawling on all fours, dragged
himself across the dry bed of the
KhOtan river. "AIl of a sudden a duck
Jew into the air and water splashed,"
he wrote. Two Of his followers were
all that survived, and 1t is doubtful
whether even those two would have
lived to tell the tale had not Sven
Hedin carried back water for them In
his boots.

years a score or more of young wom-

in preference to teaching and to clerk
ships in stores and stenographic posi-
tons. Some of them declare that
much of the work may be done by
women now that modern machinery
has lightened the burdens of the farm
er. But the greatest benefits come.
they say, from the needed exercise
and the life in the open air.
Prominent among the young women
of Kansas who are making a success
at farming are the Misses Ruby and
Olive Herd of Hodgeman county.
These two sisters own a farm seven
miles west of Jetmore. Preferring a
life of independence, they bought the
land and built a modest cottage and
turned their attention to small farm
ing, poultry raising and fruit growing.
There are no Saturday half-holidays
with the two Herd sisters, for they
are not seen at the county seat or
the local trading place on that after
noon talking politics.
These two young women were for
merly school teachers. Their little
home is comfortable, and it shows
every evidence of refinement.
