A DISCOVERY
OF AN ANCIENT RACE. [United Press Association—By Electrio Telegraph.—Copyright.] (Received this day at 11.30 a m.) LONDON, December 7. Miss CYossley Batts, who recently arrived in England from India, says: ‘“A few years ago I found an old manuscript in a Buddhist library in Peking about a lost tribe thirteen thousand feet up in the Himalayans. I resolved to find the tribe, repeatedly failed but at Last succeeded. They are survivors of the ancient Chaldeans, whose average span of life was from 140 to 150 years. 'They number six hundred. 1 did not see any sign of disease or debilty. They must possess strange secrets valuable to the western world. Their language is unintelligible. I since discovered it as Chaldean, which f learnt. 1 am returning to stay longer and try to discover their secrets.”
