eXpedltlOn which was sent into InlDet
after the British, under Sir Francis
Younghusband, had departed from
Lhassa, the Lamaistic 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 that
country. In 1908 he was appointed Brit
ish commissioner for negotiating with
China a settlement Of relations be-
tween India and Thibet. In 1904 he
was at the head Of an expedition that
forced it's 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
places of earth. 1t is there that an
American expedition is searching for
the missing link" the earliest form OF
man. To the south of it lie the Hima-
layas and Mount Everest, as everyone
knows, is the highest peak on the
earth's surface $4,000 feet.) 1t has
never been ascended and an expedition
is now making a careful and persist
ent attempt to reach its summit.
Thibet itself appears to be the roof
of the world; it is the most elevated
country on the globe. The northern
part is believed to have an average
elevation Of $4,000 feet. What that
means can be imagined by anyone
who has climbed Pixies Peak in Colo
RADIO, which is 14,155 feet high. The
people are of the Mongol stock. The
reputation is believed to approximate
3,5OO,OOO. There are supposed to be
$4,000 lamas. These lamas are devoted
to celibacy and live in lamaseries, or
monasteries. Of which there are said to
be 5000. Many of these lamaseries
are Of great size, housing thousands.
Polyandry prevails among the people.
China has exercised rule of sorts
over Thibet since the Eighteenth CEN
tury, more especially as to its foreign
relations. Government appears to be
largely local. For ages the chief
authority rested with the Grand Lama
whose capital was Lhassa, city Of
about 25.OOO 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 Shigatse. There
is also Chinese resident In Thibet.
This British expedition forced various
concessions in trade and in the foreign
relations of the country, which for n
century had been practically closed
nation. Thibet is principally famous,
perhaps, as the seat Of that form Of
Buddhism known as Lamaism.

is an instance of this kind of signifi-
cance.
The saint wears a nitre topped with
a vultures feather. AS the vulture Is
the biggest and farthest tiier, the
feather here indicates that the doc-
trine of this "guru" Is the most aspir-
ing, and his knowledge the most noble
and spiritual.
In his right hand he holds 'dorJe"
or thunderbolt, implying divine pro-
lection and eternal life.
His left hand grasps the skull bowl
containing blood or 'amita," (sWeet
,dew," the ambrosial food Of super
,natural Oeings), signifying blessings.

/ The shrine is flanked on each side
by a great brass sacred lamp Of ex-
quisite workmanship. One Of these
is the finest Mr.. Scott has ever seen.
On the steps leading to the altar

inscribed. These are the guardians of

On 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-all Of
them being at present in Mr.. ScOtt's
possession. Tradition has it that car
pets were once woven in Thibet. But
| for many years none has been known
| to be in existence. When, however,
the first Sikh Maharajah, Golab Singh,
| was installed over Kashmir, tribute
| was sent to him from Thibet, and
among the gifts were three beautiful
! carpets, all Of the same size and Of
similar design. For the best part Of
100 years these lay in the palace Tosha
Khana or storehouse in Kashmir. Re-
Gently they were sold at public auction
in Srinagar, where Mr.. Scott pur-
chased one and later obtained the 9TH
ers from two Indian mobiles who had
secured them at the auction.
The carpets, like the Thibetan pray
er-mats, show Chinese taste blended
with Thibetan symbolism, and were
doubtless made in, Thibet by. Chinese
weavers. Just as the carpets and mats
show the influence Of China, a hrge
proportion of Thibetan metal-work
strongly reflects Indian culture, as
from time immemorial the Newaris, or
mechanics Of Nepal, in India, have
worked in metal for the Thibetans.
Laid on the shrine as vOtive offer
ings are many little images, some of
gold inlaid with turquoise and lapis
lazuli. In some cases, these are
images Of Krishna. probably left by
Hindus who, without worshiping
Buddha, reverence him and are willing
to make gifts to his temples.
Most of these objects were looted
