source Of the srahmaputra

For 40 years the birthplace of the
great Brahmaputra river Of India was
thought to be among the high valleys
of the eastern Himalayas or on the
Plateau of Tibet north of those noun
tains. The theory could not be
proved, for hostile Abors In the Hima-
layan valleys killed the explorers or
barred their way when they sought to
solve the mystery.
1t was believed 20 years ago that
the Sangpo river, flowing far eastward
through southern Tibet. was the upper
part of the Brahmaputra. Marked
logs set afioat In the Sangpop were
watched for In the Brahmaputra, but
were never found. At last. however.
the explorers sent out with the troops
who have punished the Abhors for
their massacre Of Williamson and his
200 carriers have shown that the two
rivers are identical. The Brahmapu-
ira rises far west near the headwa-
tiers of the Indus, among the noun
tains bordering southern Tibet.

AUTOGRAPH TELLS A TALE
Character Of the Kaiser Revealed to
Expert by Close Analysis Of
His Signature.

There is always q certain amouIi OF
interest attached to the deductions
drawn by graphologists from tho Gig
natures of eminent men. Here, for
example, is an Illuminating description
Of the kaiser's autograph, supplIs By
an eminent Berlin graphologist:
ITO begin with. there Is crocsst
sign OF pertinacity, followed by a verti-
cal dash, showing audacity, energy, re-
CARELESS of any obstacle. Then there
is an acute angle. sign Of firn.ness
and aggressiveness. The first stroke
of the w indicates feeling of supe-
riority over the rest of the uni
verse. The termination Of the impe-
rial w suggests that the sovereign
sometimes finds himself struggling
with the multitude Of his thoughts. or
the power Of his instincts.
"The other letters forming the sigma
ture show similar characteristics" the
graphologist proceeds. The final m
Is indicative of great diplomacy. which
to the analyst suggests subtlety. The
letter also suggests the impossibility
of the suppression of the ego The
flourish which terminates the imperial
autograph shows suppleness Of spir-
1t. desire TO be loved. also self-es-
TEEN.
The two terminating points indi-
cate defiance and generally the char
acteristics are those of an extraor-
binary imagination"

California exports some potatoes at

this trade about equalizes itself. The
