Ellis, of Philadelphia, met the Lama in the village of Darjeel ing beneath the Himalayan snows, where he is exiled in asylum prepared for him by the British. “The Lama is not an impressive In dividual in appearance,” writes the inter viewer. “His face is pock-marked and his ears are large and curiously shaped. His moustache is waxed horizontally. His head is bullet shaped. He has a hobby for cleanliness unusual in these re gions. He eats from a golden bowl and sleeps between spotless sheets of satin.” Os the things the Lama had to talk about, the item that most impressed his interviewer was a statement that he in tended, upon his return to Thibet, to send many of his young men to America for a western education. The Japanese and Chinese example in this regard has Impressed him very much and he de clared it could be followed by the peo ple of Thibet with great advantage. He also proposed that Thibet and even the sacred city of Lama itself should be thrown open to the commerce of the world, and the ancient policy ot seclusion abandoned. He declared that Buddhism as a religion was superior to Christianity and prophesied that in 400 years all man kind will be enrolled in a Buddhist fel lowship. OH! STRIPES AND BUT- TONS!
