Prince Louis was born at the Chateau de Mention, near Paris, in 1SG4. He is the second and younger son of Prince Jerome Bonaparte (Plon-Plon) and Princess Clotilde of Savoy and grandson of Prince Jerome. King of Westphalia. When the Franco-Russian alliance was formed he went to St. Petersburg and joined the Czar's Ariny, with the rank of Lieutenant. The Czar took a great interest in the .descendant of Napoleon, his advance was rapid, he finally being given command of the Empress' Lancers. Prince Louis' life has been purely a military one. He is an accomplished linguist, and among the many languages he speaks he is master of French, Italian ign'/z^r/,/ zr-jj // // // // @ I I VAST DESERT 8 ^ GUARDS THIBET i ^ I /7; I Forbidden Land Reached Only u?. \ After Arduous Journey. j 7r. .T\ rSh'// _// //-/7 'jr*iferyr,//v_r//^ I ^tOJ^ HI BET ? the inhospitable j V and mysterious land of the O 10 Lamas?is at the present! ^ ^ time occupying the atten-1 tion of the Indian Govern- [ ment. Much has been written about rlie country; Marvelous and thrilling adventures have been related by travelers. but. from information obtained 011 the spot, it seems that their imaginations were responsible for most of the difficulties. Three leave seasons were spent by the writer 011 the borders of Thibet, and a view of the country obtained, and perhaps the time so spent was not wasted, as a knowledge of the language, customs and lay of the J land goes a long way to insure the j success of any military operations. j It is a long walk and a hard one be- j * 1 1 .1 ! lore oik? arrives on me uoiuonuuu, anu ( progress is slow, as all baggage has to j be carried by coolies, to whom a march of twelve to fifteen miles is a full day's work. The road is only a few feel wide, made up as a rule of large sharp stones, and often long circuits have to be made, as landslips are of frequent occurrence. A few miles from ' the borderland there is almost a com- j plete absence of vegetation, owing to, the biting wfnds. which rise at 10 a. : m. and fade away at 5 p. m.

To anyone who does not know him he is a pure Slav, resembling greatly the Cossacks, whose fiery eyes and resoluteness he possesses. Prince Louis' trump card is that he is an officer in the Russian Army. As Russia has become popular in France, his chances of ascending the throne of the latter are improved materially. At the time of the Dreyfus scandal, when politics was so disturbed, he was considered the most eligible candidate, and was the favorite of the people for the throne of France. He is also the favorite of the Empress Eugenie, and it is said that at her death he will in lierit the whole or Her immense rortune. Prince Louis wedded the Grand Duchess Helene, a cousin of'Nicholas II., in 1901. Thibet carrying salt and those returning calicoes and Indian teas. On arrival at Milam the sahib is always met by' the Rae Bahadur, a most celebrated personality. He obtained his title as a reward for services rendered. Disguised as n fakir, he traveled all over the Forbidden Land, making a survey of the country, for A VIEW OF THE 11 A. (The photograph shows a view fro overlooking the Harbor of Chemulpo, a which he has also received rewards from several geographical societies. Three months he spent in Milam, learn; ing the language and customs of the country, and then commenced his work, being the victim of the curious N ? 3 I R. ? ?

His maps, gold watch and medals he shows with natural j pride, and he mentions, with a twinkle y . K . in his eye, the fact that explorers often remained neater to the border than their maps and writings would lead the public to suppose. The first thing that makes an impression is that the English pronunciation of Thibet is wrong, both syllables being snort. The Rliootians are the tribe living on the borders, and they are in the habit of calling Thibet Bhot. Then again it has another name, being spoken of by its own people as Cheen. China being known as Ma-Cheen, or the bigger Cheen. Being originally inhabited by heathens, it is remarkable that it is now the most priest-ridden country in the world, and for this the inhabitants have to thank an ancient king, who- married two wives?the one a princess from Nepal, and the other i from China, and these bPing of a re! ligious turn of mind introduced their respective creeds?Hindooism and Buddhism. It is not generally known that there is a vast desert to the northwest of Lhassa, which the Rae Bahadur states is impassable, and thus forms another barrier to that most romantic city. The marriage customs, to the civilized mind, seem apt to lead to complications. as the women are polyandrous; but at the same time the superior sex have some say in .the matter, as they 1 make the lady confine her attentions to the family, the husband's place being taken by his brother when he has to leave his home to look after his flocks. Ladies are scarce in the land, for the simple reason that female babies do not seem to be very popular, and the greater number soon vanish. ?A British Officer in Black and White. TO BIND LLLV. 1 K1V. WiMLO, In the matter of binding posts it would seem that there is little room for 0- > i CLIP WIRE BINDER. improvement over the standard scre^ post so universally used. However, ; ' LiiiOii UF CHEMULPO. in the steps of the Chemulpo Club, strategic point in Korea). says an electrical exchange, an innovation in the construction of posts by which the set screw or set nut is done away with and the wire is held by the action of a spring is illustrated by the accompanying picture. It is claimed for this construction that the wire cannot work or jar loose and that the contact is always insured because of the constant pressure exerted by the spring. It is estimated that the wire can be connected or disconnected in one-tenth the time it takes to set a screw post, and the makers say as an advantage that there is no possibility of the wire being broken off by the process of binding. Kabbits Killed by Poison. An injurious implement for use in the perpetual warfare which the Australians are forced to carry on against the swarms of rabbits which infest that country has lately boon experimented with at Victoria. It con sists of a cylinder filled with poisonous liquid, with a foodo-plate attached to j it, which is placed in any thickly in fested spot. As soon as a rabbit presses the plate it opens a valve which sprinkles the animal with some of the poison. The rabbit then licks the poison off its fur, and the farmer is r*leived of one more of his pests. Suicide Wind. In Brazil and other parts of South America the natives know and fear a certain condition of the air, which they call "suicide wind." It is not a superstition, but an actual condition of the atmosphere which seems to drive people to madness, and during its continuance self-inflicted deaths are numerous. Criminologist and scientists all over the world are interested in tfcia peculiar atmospheric influence, which is indicated by a soft, moist, warm air that settles heavily on the earth. t The Grange as an Educator. I Worthy Master W. F. Hill, of't&ft' Pennsylvania State Grange, referring to the educational work of the grangfr i in his annual address, said it aftords x j the very best opportunity for the ^ t | farmer to develop into a man of cul- ; I ture and of broad mind. The eri change of ideas, the social Intercourse it provides for the farmer and M. his family, the valuable discipline of ( this well established, conservative organization, are all strong factors in building a better, stronger rural citizenship.
