who was aboard the train said that
he could not afford 10 lose the time,
and went out and bought some picks
and shovels, by means of which a
trench was dug under the railway

Signs Of Ancient sondIsr Race Found
IN Central Asia Presented 70
ParIo sorbonne.

r. Gauthiot, the French savant, has
presented to the Paris sorbonne the
first grammar Of the Soedian Ian
gunge which was lost to the world
one thousand years ago
The Sogdians are supposed to have
been powerful and highly cultured
race. inhabiting Central Asia, where
now there Is merely sandy desert.
Their language. II Is declared, shows
that they were the parents Of all the
present European and european
races. though the method of writing
this language resembles Semitic rath-
er than Arabic.
The land which the Sogdians inhab-
tied formed link between Siberia on
the north, China on the east. Tibet
and India on the south and Irania and
Persia on the west. Before the devel-
opment of sea commerce the cara
vans disseminating the riches of the
orient all passed through Sogdia. the
last vestiges Of which are supposed
to have been destroyed by the Mon.
gols in the eleventh century. Within
a decade travellers and explorers have
found traces Of great cities buried
in the sand, with Buddhist art work
ers of considerable beauty and at
least two libraries of manuscripts,
while remains of canals indicate that
the Sogdians we'll understood irriga-
ton.
Although the modern Persians are
believed TO have descended directly
from the Sogdians, whose language is
supposed to have disappeared during
the Mohammedan renaissance in the
eighth century, only one miserable
tribe dwelling In a rocky valley in
central Asia, namely, the Yagnobis, is
thought to preserve some Characters
tics of the lost race, whose re-discov-
cry is expected to clear up many
problems in history. Professor Gauth-
lot hopes to depart soon to study the
Yagnobis among their native cliffs.

In China, western ideas are going
ahead. A proof of this is that the
European medicine chest has been
adopted. Dr. WI Lien Teh (still
known at Cambridge, where he took
his degrees, as &c. L. Tuck'O, the d.
rector of the plague prevention serv-
Ice organized by the Chinese govern
ment, recently came to England to
read a paper at the international
Medical Congress on his work in
North China. Il wish the use OF
Chinese medicines was dying out as
quickly as we expected" he said;
but the people are saturated with
old-fashioned ideas, and 1t will take
some time to eradicate them. Still,
he added, western treatment is max.
ing Roadway, especially in surgery
and there are a great many European
trained doctors now practicing among
the Chinese. The general stage of
medicine in China Is about compar-
able to what it was in Europe so or
60 years ago. A significant sign OF
progress is that the old-fashioned
physicians are coming to our service
and asking western trained men to
give them lectures and advice, while
the people themselves are taking an
interest in health subjects"

course of conversation remarked:

yours You study daily life in all its
