SVEN HEDIN'S JOURNEY.

GRAPHIC STORY OF ADVENTURE.

Dr. Sven Hedin' has delivered an address, before the Geographical Society on the route and incidents of the three years' journey, which

.he took in those deserts of Asia that lie east of

Afghanistan and Kashmir, north of the Indian Empire, and in the unmapped southern terri-

tories of Russia. Thirteen hundred miles down

the sinuous Tarim, across the desert of Gobi, over the ranges which stretch like gridiron bars rooming cast to west across the path of the traveler who would go north or south to Thibet, through a part of Thibet itself these were some of Dr. Hedin's wanderings.

+ A CRITICAL SITUATION.

They had many hardship, especially in the high valleys of the great Asiatic Himalayan range, where they always were at altitudes gre ter than that of Mont Blanc. The cold in the deserts was intense in winter :--

On February 18, sa, s the explorer, came the first buran of the year, and it was so bitterly cold that we had to go on font to prevent ourselves from being frozen to death. At night we were only able to make a little tea at the cost of two of the top-poles with which to make the fire. On the 19th the storm still continued to rage; but as we had no firewood of a y description what- ever, we were obliged to cont nt oùr-elves with sucking small picces oli e arð munching dry | bead - hard, a fitting repast for such truly Arctic weather as we were then experiencing, The tracks of will camels were exceptionally frequent, and I observed them with the greatest interest, and noted them down on my map. sheet; they might later on point to important

HOW THE CUNARD 'LINE

ORIGINATED.

The inception of the Cunard Line of steam- ers was due to Samuel Cunard, a native of

Nova Scotia, born in 1838. In 1838 he came Transatlantic service. He sought out Mr. to England, filled with an iden of originating a Robert Napier, the famous Cycle shipbuilder, invention- the Napier coffee machine is one of an eccentric man whose hobby was mechanical the products of his fertile brain-though he cook good care not to let his familiar pursuits interfere and the foundations of the now famous fleet with his ordinary work. Abargain was struck

ed, and so well did they serve their purpose motto of the Cunard, whose proud boast it was that others were added. Safety was ever the

CHINA'S DEBT TO ITALY..

Of the indemnity of ane milliard and eight hundred and seventy-five million franes which" China owes to the signatory Powers of the Treaty of Pekin of the 7th of September, 1901, Italy is expecting to receive seventy-five millions.

Of this one portion will go to cover the ex- penses of the Italian Expedition, and the other to missionaries, contractors, miners, families of those who lost their lives in the service of their

Our stock of ice was exhausted, and the camels had not drunk a drop of water for twelve days. Fortunately, that same evening we reached a spot where the wiki -camel tracks all.converged into one common track, which eventually led into a valley, in the beginning of which, sure enough, there was a salt-well, surrounded by a belt of fresh water ice a few inches thick. As

fuel also was to be ha in the same place, we stayed there two days, the camels meanwhile quenching their thirst by crunching the ice, hewed to pieces for them.

DESERT MANUSCRIPTS.

Anong the deeply interesting and important archæological discoveries was that of a buried link of civilisation, which may once have bound Western China and Eastern Turkestan te- gether by a thriving inhabited region. In the half-buried cities of these deserts manuscripts and coins were foun, and one of the man- uscripts speaks of an army which was to be met at the fontier "by forty officials "a fair- sized army, therefore,. But how was the agriculture of this region carried on? How was it possible to carry it on? Not one rivulet flows down from the Kuruk-tagh mountains, not one drop of r-in ever falls from the sky. Canals, or irrigation ariks, similar to those which are found all over Eastern "urkestan at the present day, must have been made from the river which flowed into Lopnor.

The journal calls on the Italian Government to take some steps in this matter, and also ta see that the dignity of Italy be properly asserted in China, where Italy's prestige seems to be on the wane rather than on the increase. It quotes various incidents in support of this assertion, and concludes as follows:

"The facts demonstrate that Italy must not

Possibly the better result, people dwelt in perishable reed-tuits, as they do at the present day.

IN THE LAND OF THIBET. Among the last and by no incans the most pleasant of his experiences was the attempt to penetrate. Thibet. He achieved part of his purpose, but he did not get to Lbassa, the holy city, and all the time he was in the country his caravan and a sort of covering escort of Thi betans watched one another like two cats. The attitude of the Thibetans towards strangers may be gathered from the following experience:- Later on that same day there was another rit in the lule. ladych Tsering and Yunduk Tsering, two of the Dalai Lama's ministers or members of his devashung (or council) in Lhassa, came direct from the holy city, bringing with them fog mounted men and against such a force I had no inclination to declare war.. These officials read to me a proclamation from the Dalai Lama, which, among other things, contained the following passage; "Let letters be sent with all speed to Namso and Naktsang, that no Russian can have permission to travel on any of the roads of Nankichu and inwards as far as my kingdom extends. Let letters be sent to all the chieftains. Watch the frontiers of Naktsing. It is absolately essential to -guard.strictly every part of the country. It is entirely unnecessary that any European shall enter into the kingdom of the holy books and spy out the land. In your provinces they have nothing whatsoever to do, If they say they have, then know they must not travel to Lhassa. And if they do travel, then shall you lose- your head. See to it that they turn back by the way they came."

Dr.- Sven Hedin and the Thibetans pared with honours evan. He did not see their Holy City, but he crossed their country in order to reach his goal and his journey's end in India.
