Miss Crossley Batts, who recently ar« rived in England from India, says that a few years ago she found an old manuscript of the Buddhist library at Pelcia about a lost tribe 13,000 ft up in tho Himalayas.

"They are survivors of the ancient Chaldeans," she states. "Their average span of life is from 140 to 150 years. They number six hundred. I did not sco a sign of disease or debility. They, must possess strange secrets valuabla to the Western World. Their languaga was uninteligible, but I have since discovered that it was Chaldean, which I have learnt. I am returning to stay longer to try to discover their secrets."
