Renowned as explorer, ranking
with Hudson and Cartier and Van-
couver, with Mackenzie and La V•er-
endrye and Fraser, Younghusband's
principal claim to fame rests upon his
extraordinary expediton to Tibet in!
1903. He was the first white man t0
enter and return alive from the "For-'
bidden City" of Lhasa in Tibet, that
romantic and mysterious country be-
yond the Himalayas, a vast inhabited
tableland lying at a much higher ele-
vation than the dizziest peaks in the
Canadian Rockies, and bordering In-
dia for a thousand miles.
The story of that expedition, told
by Younghusband to the newly -form-
ed Canadian Geographical Society,
makes an epic: of high courage and
romance. It was away back in the
days when Lord Curzon, with all hie
pomp and circumstance, was in In-
dia, and when Britain was still unlet
the spell of the imperialism of the
Boer war and the jingoism of Mr,
Kipling. The Tibetans, for_: a reason
not understood,. declined- to permit
Indians to enter their country; their
regent was in communication with

Now while the bridegroom. tarried,
they all slumbered and slept. The
wise virgins slept in peaceful sectir-

ready for the coming of the .bride-
groom; the foolish virgins slept be-
cause they took no thought of the
future, they were living. from moment

to meet him. Christ comes at :mid

renowned discoverer of insulin. Few
people know it, but he is an artist of
considerable talent. Year of inten-
sive work in the laboratory have not
stifled a long -felt urge to express
himself on canvas, and he takes his
new pursuit as seriously as he • did
his great life work,
Shortly after he returned from
overseas, Dr. Banting started a prac-
tice at London, Ont. He had few pa-
tients and plenty of time, and as he
had always wanted to paint, bought
a paint=box and a set of brushes and
tried his hand at landscapes while
waiting for patients. When he start-
ed the vast work of research that
gave the world insulin he had to put
aside his brushes, and it is only with-
in the last few years that he has had
the leisure to resume Ids cherished
pursuit; at which he is no mere di-
lettante, for he works as hard with
his brush and palette as with his re-
torts and test tubes. He specializes
in northern landscapes, and has trav-
elled hundreds of miles to paint
them.
But even in those vast northern
lands the artist in Beating cannot
escape the doctor. A summer or so
ago, he and his friend, A. Y. Jack-
son, " well-known member of the
Group of Seven, went to the North-
west Territories to paint. They were
crossing Great Slave lake in a scow
equipped with an engine. Suddenly a
terrific storm beat down upon the
waters, whipping them into waves
that almost swamped the boat. Des-
perately those on board tacked and
manoeuvred for a distant island, and
finally, almost exhausted, they made
it.
But scarcely had the storm -tossed
voyageurs made themselves some-
what less uncomfortable, than they
saw another boat bearing down
through the winds for the island.
Aboard it was a sick woman, and her
companions despaired of her life.
They had been rushing her hundreds
of miles to a doctor, when the storm
arose, driving them to despair, for.
they expected that the added, delay
which it entailed would prove fatal
to the patient. Instead, it proved her
salvation, and she and her friends
reverently regarded the storm as an
instance of Divine intervention," since
it . drove her not away from medical
care, but straight to the only doctor
within hundreds of miles, who hap-
pened to be one of the world's great-

skilful care she eventually recovered.

Police Have O'lenaed Out London's
Chinatown's Secret Lairs.
Visitors to London will look in
vain in Chinatown for the mystery
and glamor of the Orient which once
lured sightseers from all parts of the
world to that small corner of the
East End, says the London Mail
Gone are the opium dens and gam-
bling hells which,for so long provid-
ed fiction writers with their requisite
thrills; the police have unearthed all
the secret lairs and the crafty money-
makers who lurked therein have been
deported.
At the present time there are not
more than a hundred Chinese fami-
lies left in Chinatown—and they
have earned the reputation of being
one of the most honest and generally
well-behaved sections of the East
End community.
These remnants of what was, not
many years ago, a large and really
mysterious colony, are leading quite
peaceful and entirely unromantic
lives as keepers of little shops or
lodging houses. And in most cases
there is nothing about these shops
to distinguish them from others
alongside whose proprietors are Eng-
lish.
Even Chinese customs have been
allowed to die out.
A Chinese restaurant keeper who
has been in Chinatown for more than
twenty years said to a reporter:
"We have become altogether Eng-
lish in our ways. Our New Year's
Day occurred recently, but how many
of us celebrated it according to our
national custom --with the letting -off
of fireworks and general joy making?None! Instead we, recognized the
