To the currdut umnsber of "-Vte Geograph
leai Journal" Dr. Sye Hddhi contributes I
concise summary* of his reiarkabl expo
rations in eastern Turkestan And Tibet dur
r ing the last three years. His fortmer journey
a in Central Asia-from 1813 to 18BT-wal
' thought, as he modestly observes, to marl
an advance in the geographical knowledge
of these regions, but he considers the re
suits of this one to be much more valuable.
In It he has traversed a great extent of
a hitherto untrodden ground, and has been
able, as he justly claims, "to lift the veil
which for a thousand years has hidden vasl
stretches of the mountains and desert re
gions of the heart of Asia." They are with
out a rival on the surface of the globe.
The mountain chains Of Central Asia ra
diate from the Pamirs-the roof of the
world-like giant roots from an old tree
a stump. Two of these, the vast compound
mass of the Himalayas and Karakorame
and the chain of the Kuen-lun, Ificlose the
a greatest and loftiest mountain plateau in the
world, not a little of which overtops Moni
Blanc, and much is as high above the sea
a level as the summit of the Wetterhorn-e
region of scorching heat in the summer sur
and bitter cold in the winter frost. Be
a tween the Kuen-lun and the Thian-shan b
another plateau, more level and lower, sink
ing eastward down to the great rainless
a Gobi desert. On his former journey Dr
Sven Hedin's explorations carried him oves
* Turkestan from the foot of the Thian-shar
a to the Lob Nor. This time he has not only
worked out many points previously incom
* plete, but has examined the desert still fur
a ther east, and explored a large area o
eastern Tibet from north to south. He was
* turned back, though without injury, in tw(
a attempts to penetrate as far as Lhassa
and finally made his ,way westward to Leh
Traveling in such regions is very laborious
and entails much hardship, yet Dr. Sven He
o din's industry seems unaffected by fatigue
The amount of work he has accomplished is
Q prodigious. His chartographical material
e he says, consists of not less than 1,14(
sheets, which, it arranged end to end in i
row, would measure over 1,000 feet; 114 as
tronomical determinations have been se
cured to check this; he has kept a complete
meteorological journal, making records
thrice a day; he has taken over 2,000 photo
graphs, made archaeological, zoological ani
botanical collections; besides bringing aboul
seven hundred rock specimens to illustrate
the geology of Tibet, of which at preseni
very little is known. Throughout, he says
he endeavored to avoid traveling over routes
already traversed by other ekplorers. Bul
the earlier part of his journey was in a re
gion which he had already visited, north
ern Turkestan, its object, which was com
pletely successful, being to trace accurately
the couse of the River Tarim.
Both that and the less important Cher
chen-Daria are frequently changing theis
course, abandoning one channel to excavate
another. The former river shows a constan1
a tendency to shift bed toward the south, anc
on that side throws off numerous arms of
secondary channels, into which occasionall3
o it diverts its main stream. These vagranl
tendencies are rendered easy by the nature
of the region traversed-an arid lowland
o with the shifting sand dunes for hills. Ir
one place, on the right bank of the Tarim
a chain of long lakes bordered by sterile
sands has been formed, which are continue]
between dunes sometimes more than a hun
dred yards high, by a series of depression
each covered by clay and absolutely barren
This tendency to shift its bed becomes more
pronounced as the river approaches the re
gion where it perishes among the deseri
sands, and the Tarim, "instead of empty
ing itself into the ancient lake of Lob Nor
goes on past it and forms the lake o1
Kara-Koshun, further to the south."
The position of the former has been s
matter of dispute, which Dr. Sven Hedin has
set at rest. The ancient lake has now corn
pletely dried up, but on its northern shore
he found ruins of towns, settlements an'
temples, as well as manuscripts and tablets
of tamarisk wood in Chinese characters
dating from the third to the fifth century o
the present era, together with indubitabl
traces of an ancient caravan road. Hi
former journey was rewarded by simila
archaeological discoveries further west I
o Turkestan, so that evidently the region wa
much more flourishing some fifteen centu
ries ago. Partly this has been the work o
i man, but perhaps it is still more due to i
f change in climate. A very large portion o
. Central Asia, not only in the region east o
the Thian-shan, but even in that to th
west of this chain, seems to be graduall:
drying up, but what may be the cause of th
desiccation no one can venture to declar
positively.
