the country, however, is administered
by the Great Lama of Lhassa (the sa-
cred Buddhist city, and local kings or
chiefs whose authority is also, in eff
feet, subject to that OF the ruling
lamas.
While the Tibetans themselves have
always maintained fierce secrecy in
connection with their religion, it Is
ofter claimed, and is quite probable,
that the isolation of Tibet was origi-
nally inspired by the Chinese in the
hopes of creating buffer state against
European aggression from that direc-
ton. All attempts of Europe to open
up trade relations and routes in Tibet.
and even to explore, were vigorously
repulsed throughout the last century.
Toward the end of the century Rus
sianized Monaghan Buriat named
Dorjiev, obtained a commanding In
fluence over the head lama, inspired
him with the fear of aggression from
England and with the idea Of securing
Russian protection and converting the
entire Russian empire to Buddhism.
Such a move being discountenanced oy
the Chinese, the head lama, still in
cited by the Russian, took steps to
bring on crisis by provoking Eng
land by various Sights and encroach-
ments on British territory. In 1904,
therefore, the British armed mission
TO Tibet was sent out. This put an
end to the Tibetan aggravation. The
peace treaty, concluded on September
z. 1904, provided for the establishment
of three marts for British trade in III
bet. and included prohibition against
the granting to any foreign power OF
any concession territorial or mercan-
tile) in Tibet, and against the partici-
patton by any foreign power (other
than China) in the government OF the
country. Tibet therefore, has contin-
ued in practical isolation under the
rather loose suzerainty of China. To-
day it holds the position of a living
fossil nation. Small wonder, then,
that so great interest attaches to this
new collection at the American mu-
seum-a collection brought straight
from the closed and inscrutable nearf
of Asia.

| ing thousands strongNas in vast, bar
barrie monastery, carry on their weird
traditions and ceremonies.
Weapons and Musical Instruments.
OF weapons there are in the collec-
tion daggers and sabres, ancient bows
and arrows, and poisoned implements
of war and the hunt. And there is
a heavy Tibetan gun, with it's attach
ed rest on which the Tibetan always
supports his gun when firing. The
spark for shooting off the gun is struck
from the finder box. The favored Of
all his gods must be that Tibetan who
is able to hit moving target by means
of this clumsy firearm. Harness and
trappings for their horses drums and
bells are also included in the Tibetan
military outfit. Here also belongs the
imitation skull, trimmed with artificial
teeth and long hair, in which the war
rior catches the blood of his slain en-
envy, which he drinks to gain new
yigor for the fight.
In his calmer moments, the Tibetan's
savage breast is charmed by the
strains of his primitive guitar and
three-stringed banjo, the double flute
of reed or bamboo, and the oboe which
is particularly the instrument of the
beggar. And for his enjoyment he
has fashioned pipes for smoking to-
bacco Cloth dry and cooled through
water) and opium. These are all rep
resented in the new collection in the
American museum, as are also books
in commercial and the more ornate
classical Tibetan writing, and the first
Tibetan newspaper which was printed
on the Leh mission press OF the Mo-
ravian missions.
BY no means the least interesting
among so many curious objects are the
bright, thick Tibetan rugs, and the
primitive scale consisting of bamboo
rod with a carved stone weight at one
end and at the other square of skin
suspended by thongs, for holding the
article to be weighed. And always at
tractive to the curious-minded are the
household utensils-the cooking YES
sells, dishes, teacups Cloth porcelain
and wooden) and cup stands, and cup
holders in which the Tfbetans carry
their teacups when travelling. A low
tea table Of red and black lacquer and
aborately-worked teapots of brass
and silver have beauty of their own.
And a small churn standing beside the
tea things in the museums exhibit is
appropriately placed. For "buttered
tea" is the staple food Of the Tibetans.
They make it by melting butter in hot
tea, stirring powdered barley into the
LIQUID and rolling the resulting batter
into a little cake.
Isolated From the World.
Up to 1920 trade relations with Tibet
had not been established by the out
side world, and only very few Eu-
ropeans had ventdred into the vast
central Asian plateau country. In
1920 China conquered Tibet and es-
tablished the still existing system of
government, according to which the
whole Of Tibet is under Chinese SUI
zerainty. The actual government of

| lifted little corner of the vast curtain
of silence behind which the strange
and colorful drama Of Tibet goes on
and we have been given a vivid reve-
lation of life in the secluded land.
Often before, missionaries returning
! from far-off countries have brought
back costumes, weapons and nipple
,ments which have thrown light on the
customs and culture of the people who
had made them. And now again a
missionary-Rev. III. b. Marx, for 16
years attached to Moravian mission
on the Iodian side of the Tibetan bor-
der-brings such a collection, large,
and rich in variety and interest.
Through funds provided by J. j. Nor
gan, the collection has been secured
! for the American Museum of Natural
History, in New York city, and has
already been placed on exhibition and
examined by many visitors.
There are over $50 pieces in the
new Tibetan collection, and they COW
| er probably every phase of the life OF
Tibet. There are native costumes
the mems consisting of a small hat
| trimmed with artificial flowers, long
wooden gown, shawl and belt, coarse
| wooden trousers and shoes with heav-
| ily-felted soles. The womens civil
| dress is much the same, but includes
great brass pins and silver filigree or
naments set with turquoises and coral.
There are large earrings and finger
rings, also of silver and set with tur-
quoises. The necklaces, made of very
large beads Of amber, coral and tur-
quoise are worn as ornaments, but
have also a religious significance, for
their colors are recognized as SYM
bolical In some parts of Tibet there
are three, in other parts five colors
recognized as symbols; yellow for the
/ earth, blue for the water, red for light
and warmth, green for the wind and
white for the clouds or heaven.
Masks of Devil Dancers.
The five colors are used in the elab-
crate costumes of the "devil dancers"
and in the masks used in the cere-
monies for driving away demons. OF
these, "Todgam," the five-skull mask,
is especially celebrated and sacred.
The five skulls surmounting the mask
are supposed to be the skulls of slain
enemies, trophies of the devil dancer,
who represents warrior Of. the old
Tibetan mythology. Also of great re-
ligious significance are the "dorje" and
the "dorje purbu," representing the
thunderbolt. These are powerful
weapons for the exorcism of demons.
They are hurled into the ground by
the lamas, or holy men, to whom they
are the most sacred and revered Of
all religious objects.
