a forbidden country? Was not its
mysterious capital, Lassa, upon which
foreign eye had indeed dwelt futive

The world then waited patiently to
hear that the expedition had come
within sight of the wonderful golden
roofed Potala, and eagerly watched
for reports upon the most mysterious
city in the world.

Not long ago there appeared in a

an .amusing account of the life and

The story was written by the Paris

appeared the following in cold print:
"M. Ie Colonel Bryan first came into

The British expedition upo.11 enter
ing the sacred precincts of the Potala,
found the palace to be a dingy struc

in poor repair. It was here that the
treaty between the Tibetans and the
British was signed, in the throne

house and kaabah, not Of the country
alone, but of the faith, and it is cur
ious that, while the magnificent Pot
ala is a casket containing nothing ei
ther ancient or specially venerated,
the priceless gems of the Jo-Kang
should be housed in a building which
literally has no outside walls at all.
All around the cathedral the dirty
and insignificant council chambers and
offices, in which the affairs of Tibet
are debated and administered, lean
like parasites against it for support
huddled together and obscuring the
sacred structure to to which they owe
their stability, in a way that seems
mischievously significant of the whole
state of Tibet.

who 'visited the Jo-Kang under pe

is almost absolute, and therein, thrown
into strange relief against the ob
scurity, the soft gleam of the golden
idol which sits enthroned in the cen
tre. Before him are rows and rows of
great butter lamps of solid gold, each
shaped in curious resemblance to the
preformation chalices of the English
cnurch. Lighted by the tender ra-
diance of these twenty of thirty beads
of light, the great glowing mass of
the Buddha softly looms out, ghostlike
and shadowless, in the murky recess.
It is not the magnificence of the
statue that is first perceived, and cer
tainly it is not that which makes the
deepest and most lasting impression.
For this is no ordinary representation
of the master. The features are
smooth and almost childish; beautiful
they are not, but there is no need of
beauty here. Here is no trace of that
inscrutable smile which from Mukden
to Ceylon is inseperable from our con
ceptions of the features of the great
teacher. Here there is nothing of the
saddened smile of the Melancholia
who has know-n too much and has re
nounced it all as vainlty. Here, instead
is the quiet happiness and the quick
capacity for pleasure of the boy who
has never yet known either pain or
disease or death. It is Gautama as
a pure and eager prince, without a
thought for the morrow or a care for
today.

Since the assumption of temporal
power by the fifth grand lama, in
the middle of the seventeenth cen
tury, the whole history of the Tibetan
hierarchy has been a record of blood
shed and intrierue. The fifth errand
lama, the first to receive the title df
dalai, was a most unscrupulous ruler,
who secured the temporal power by
inciting the Mongols to invaed Tibet,
and received as his reward the king
ship. He then established his claim
,to the godhead by , tampering with
Buddhist history and writ. The sixth
Incarnalion was executed by the Chi
iese on acount of his profligacy. The
Seventh was deposed by the Chinese
ass privy to the murder of the regent.
'anothing can be learned, it would -seem

There are no legends of malmsey
