A Dam Of Livinu Yaks.

The way in which DIR. Albert L. Shell
ton, missionary, and a party of Tibet
ans crossed one of the swollen rivers
near Draya was surely picturesque
and ingenious. In pioneering in
Tibet DR.. Shelton gives an interesting
description Of the crossing:
The Tibetans had brought down
from the mountains perhaps hundred
yaks, which they drove into the river.
By throwing stones at the Beasts the
men forced them into line across
the river with their heads upstream.
The animals held their own as best
they could against the force of the
food; when, as occasionally happened,
yak was forced back by the current,
the people on the bank would drive 1t
forward to its place with stones.
The yaks helped to break the force
of the rushing stream, and we swan
across Immediately at their tails while
they held their position with their
hind feet and Their noses sticking out
of the water. Although it was August,
the frost had already come, and the
water was exceedingly cold; we were
chilled to the bone before we got
across. However, no one was drowned,
ind after we had changed our clothes
on the opposite bank we continued to-
ward Draya.- Youths Companion.
