Tibetan Houses In Robber-Infested Bad Lands.
(Prepared by the National Qcogruphlc So
ciety, Washington, D. C.)
Few countries are more isolated
than Tibet with the huge bulk of
China hemming it in on the enst, the
world's grentest rampant of moun
tains to the south and west, and vast
desert expanse to the north. Behind
these bulwarks Tibet lias existed for
centuries, inhospitable to the knock
ing of modern ideas; nnd it is todny,
therefore, In institutions nnd customs,
ono of the most primitive of the larg
er contlucntal countries which have
any semblance of governmental ma
chinery. Buddhism seems to have
been the only ono of the great forces
molding the outside world which made
itself felt behind Tibet's towering
mountains; and even that force, hav
ing onco gained success, has been al
most swallowed up in the devil wor
ship which is the highest religion Unit
tho Tlbetnns themselves have evolved.
Until a few years ago tho West
knew practically nothing of Tibet ex
cept the rather doubtful information
brought to .the outside world by a few
adventurous travelers of the middle
ages. Explorer afcr explorer dur
ing the pnst century was turned buck
with but a fleeting glimpse of the
edge of the unknown lnnd, usually In
the sparsely settled regions of tho
north. t4,,
But though much of Tibet is un
known, civilization has set a few out
posts In the eastern edge of the coun
try close to the Chlneso border, nnd
so has come to know "provincial Ti
bet" fairly well. Tho valley of the
Yangtze, where that greatest of Chi
nese rivers flows almost due south at
the eastern end of tho lllninlayas,
forms tho southern portion of the bor
der between China proper and Tibet.
Theoretically Tibet is a vassal state of
China, but actually since the Chinese
revolution Tibet has kept all Chinese
officials out and has swum free under
her ruling priests. Even the region
on tho China side of the Ynngtze is
more Tibetan than Chinese.
This border region, which Is better
known to the outside world than any
other part of Tibet, is a country of
high plnteaus and muntnins. The prin
cipal city of the region, Bntnng, Is
ono of the lowest points, yet Its alti
tude is 9,000 feet above sea level,
nearly twice that of Denver. Much
of the .surrounding plnteau Is 12,000
to 15,000 feet high. From this great
upland rise numerous peaks 20,000
feet and more In height.
Tremendous Mountain Panorama.
Tho view from the summits of some
of the passes that must be traversed
in traveling nbout this marvelously
rugged country can hardly be sur
passed anywhere In the world. Tho
"panorama for hundreds of miles on
a cleat day is one of countless high
peaks Interspersed with greater snowy
ainsses that exceed In height the top
nost plnnncles of all other continents.
Below timber line are some line for
ests, nnd tho Alplnc-llke llowers of
.ho short summer are exceedingly
beautiful. Here und there among the
mountnlns uro clear, sparkling lakes,
ihclr waters so cold that In most of
them flsh cannot live.
Many of the Tibetans nre nomads,
(ending Hocks of sheep and yal? on
tho uplands, and living in black, yak
hair tents. In those valleys which
aro low enough to permit the mutur
lng of grnln, other Tibetan? practice
n rude sort of agriculture.
In spite of the cold winters the tent
is ihe yenr-around homo of the no
mads, and they seldom oven enter u
house. As the snow melts on tho
lower slopes of the mountains in the
spring, they follow their herds up
ward from the valleys In Its train,
until in mid-summer they uro living
far up in the highlands and on the
Bides of the peaks. When winter be
gins to set In they mnke the reverse
Journey, going down to the valloyH
only as fast as the descending snow
line drives them.
The farmers of the lower valleys
11 re In substantial houses of mud
with flnt roofs. These dwellings ura
not unlike the adobe houses of Mex
ico, but are decidedly more substan
tial, being constructed by tho beat
ing of mud Into thick walls between
forms of timber.
The farmers have few animals but
utilize tho yuk for plowing, the an
lmals being brought down from the
highlands at the proper time. Wood
en plows with a single handle aro
used.
Tho living quarters In the house of
tho vnlley folk usually consist of n
single lurge room, In which all work,
Including the cooking, is done, and
where tho members of the family eat
and sleep.
Few Comforts in the Home.
The comforts in sucli homes arc
very meager. In few establishments
is there even the semblance of a bed.
In the ordinary houses "going to bed"
means merely loosening the girdle,
opening the sheepskin garment, and
curling up on the floor with the ieet
toward the stove, which Is an essen
tial feature of all habitations in this
high, cold country.
The stove is built of mud, with a
fireplace below and u hole In the top
into which pots may be set for cook
ing. It is usually found on one side
of the living room, and the members
of the family, on retiring for tho
night, range themselves in a fart
shaped group about it.
Families possessing domestic anl
mnls share their houses with them. In
two-storied houses the lower floor is
tho stable, and through It the living
quarters are reached. In some one
storied houses the front portion Is
given up to the animals, while tho
family lives in the rear.
The two principal foods of the Tl
bctans, "tsamba" and "butter tea"
seem to n westerner neither appetiz
lug nor nourishing, but In splto of a
cheerless climate the mountaineers
manage to keep sturdy on them
Tsamba Is made by parching bnrley
and then grinding it into u sort of
emergency ration, which on mixture
with moisture Is ready to eat. When
Tibetans are on journeys or are wan
dcring nbout with their flocks and
herds, they carry tsamba in small
leather bags Inside their coats, thus
always having nt hand the materials
for u hearty meal.
In preparing the other principal ar
ticle of their diet the Tibetans first
make a strong liquid by boiling the
coarso Chinese tea which they prize
most highly. The concoction is
strained Into a churn and to it aro
added a lump of butter, more or less
stnle, and u handful of snlt. The
queer mixture Is then churned Into
an emulsion. Tho resulting liquid Is
neither tea, soup nor gravy but to an
occidental Is a sort of Indifferent mix
ture of all of them.
Original Condensers of Milk.
The Tibetans of this region were
probably the original users of con
densed milk In the form of dry lumps,
for they hnve prepared this article of
food for many centuries. Fresh milk
Is poured into a churn which Is never
washed and the liquid therefore cur
dles almost the Instant It conies into
contact with the germ-Incrusted walls
of the container. It Is then churned
und the butter is extracted. After
the butter is extracted the milk Is
boiled in a largo Iron pot until it
reuches tho consistency of thick syrup.
It Is then poured out In a thin sheet
und allowed to dry, ufter which it is
broken Into small pieces and stored,
The lumps often become as hard ns
stone, and to cat them dry Is out of
the question. The nomads solve the
problem by substituting tho dry milk
for tsamba, soaking It In their butter
ten. It thus becomes softened to some
extent nnd can be chewed.
The marrlnge customs of tho peo
ple of Tibet present a peculiar combi
nation of monogamy, polygamy, und
polynndry tho last particularly char
acteristic of the country, though mo
nogamy Is actually the prevailing system.
