This Sir Francis Iounghusband was
born in India and served us British

China "a settlement of relations be-

was Mt the head of an expedition that
forced its way to Lhassa.
Thibet has always been a land or
mystery--and is yet, for that matter.
The region is one of the least known
pluces of earth. 1t is there that an
American expedition is searching for

knows, is the highest peak on the

is now making II careful and persist

Thibet itself appears To he the root
of the world; it is the most elevated
country on the globe. The northern
part is believed to have an average
elevation of $1,000 feet. What that
means can he imagined by anyone
who has climbed Pixies Peak in Colo

China has exercised II rule of sorts
over Thibet since the Eighteenth cen
tury. more especially as to Its foreign
relations. Government appears 10 pe
largely local. For ages the cmef
authority rested with the Grand Lama
whose capital was Lhassa, a city OF
about 25,0OO people.
In consequence of the 1904 British
expedition under Sir Francis Young
husband, at least part of the authori-
ty was transferred to the Grand Lama
Of Tashi-lunpo, near Shlgatse. There
