"Well, moo, moo, you got little

said Miss Cow, 'but I'd like to hear

again, but start where you left off,.
"Can't do that" said Mrs. Cow, but

expedition which was sent into Thibet
after the British, under Sir Francis
Younghusband, had departed from
Lhassa, the fantastic Holy City. A
part of the Chinese expedition re-
turned home by way Of India dispos-
ing of its loot to Parsee or Hindu
curiosity dealers on the way. Thus
many great rarities were for time
obtainable by connoisseurs lucky
enough to be on the spot. And OF
these, Mr.. Scott, as results show, was
thanks to his knowledge and expert
ence, one of the most "lucky."
+. This Sir Francis Younghusband was
born in India and served as British
political agent in various parts OF tnat
country. In 1903 he was appointed Brit
ish commissioner for negotiating with
China a settlement Of relations be-
tween India and Thibet. In 1914 ne

wrought in copper, and the face Is
coated with pure gold, highly bur-
nished.
The shrine is fanked on each Side
by a great brass sacred lamp OF ex-
ouisite workmanship. One OF these
is the finest Mr.. Scott has ever seen.
On the steps leading to the altar
are a number Of brass dog-like or lion
like figures, deliberately designed and
inscribed. These are the guardians OF
the temple.
Stretched on the steps is Ming
prayer-mat at least 400 years old.
The side walls are hung with beauti'
FIJI banners in the sacred colOrs and
symbols.
On a carved stool set with turquoise
and coral lies holy book reciting IN
gold letters on dark blue parchment
the praises of Buddha.
And most precious of all, spread be
fore the altar, is one of the three Thi
betan carpets known to exist-ali o

Gently they were sold at public auctio

The carpets, like the Thibetan pray

book reciting the praises of Buddha.
This is probably the finest assemblage
of Thibetan religious objects ever
brought together.
1t represents part Of the collecting
done by Alexander Scott, British
artist whose interest In Indian and
Thibetan archaeology dates back forty
years. For twenty-six years he made
his home in Darjeeling India, on the
highway IF Thibet. Before Sir Francis
Younghusband's expedition into Thibet,
Mr.. Scott had coaxed and won his way
into the land Of mystery. Gifted as an
artist and sympathetic as scholar,
bis interest In Thibetan Buddhism, or
Lamaism, was twofold, and resulted in
personal friendships with the Lamas,
OF priests.
One of them, Dousand Up, was thor
Oughly grounded in Thibetan religious
customs and traditions. He freely i'm
parted to Mr., Scott detailed informa-
ton and explanations of the many oh
jects secured by him. This Lama took
the highly enlightened attitude Of be-
ing glad to explain his religion to tho
foreigners, in order, as he said, that
they might see and understand it's beau
ties and philosophical significance. As
Dousand Up had fine mind and re-
markable command of English, ex-
pressing himself after the manner Of u
cultivated Englishman, his assistance
has been invaluable to Mr.. Scott.
So completely was Mr.. Scott accept
ed by one Of his Thibetan Lama
friends that on one occasion, when he
remarked that an altar, which was
greatly overcrowded, could be made
much more beautiful, he was actually
invited to rearrange 1t according to his
own ideas. And when he had per
formed his task to his own satisfaction
not only did the Lamas delight in the
changes he had wrought, but they made
him gifts in token of their apprecia
ton.
Mr.. Scott was commissioned by thu

He obtained a splendid series O
bronzes and other material for tina

basis for the building up of collec
ton illustrating the culture of Thibe
and India.
The central figure is that of Padm;
(teacher) Sambhava, the Lotus
born."-the great "guru' or saint VIII
800 years ago entered Thibet, at tn
invitation of the Thibetan king. ant
became the first teacher of Buddhism
in Thibet. Sambhava was a Hindu
from Udyana and on his teachings wer
grated the essentials of the silva wor
ship of the Hindus. 1t Is to his infiu
ence that the strongly Hindu charac
fer of the rites and mythology OF pre-
sent-day Buddhism in Thibet Is to b
traced.
The other typical character of Lama
ism is its admixture of demonOlOgy,
relic of Thibetan aboriginal "Shaman
ISM" the religion of ghosts and lOca
demons. From the primitive shamar
1stic element arises the use of carve

have been fewer outbreaks of cholera
reported in the state of Florida than
in any previous year, which is very
gratifying to those who are fighting

be the cause for many swine raising
communities to consider the disease
practically eliminated.
There is grave danger of this atti-
tude resulting in a general outbreak
of cholera, causing great losses to
our live stock industry, and adversely
affecting the good work already ac-
conplished by the bureau of animal
Industry and the state live stock SAM
