After the first rejolcings in England over Lord Kitchener's vietory at Om durman there was the usual period of criticism, during which the any-price party bewalled the wholesale slaughter of the dervishes and called the Sirdar to account for the murder of the wounded, It sald that the English themselves acted lke savages, and many a homily was preached on the brutalizing influence of war.

Fish of almost every sort are, fresh caught, slippery and hard hold, This slipperiness is due to a gort of mucus exuded through the scale, and is of the greatest import ance to all slimy creatures, One of the important functions of the fish's slimy coating is to protect it from the attacks of fungus, a form of plant life found in all waters, salt and fresh, foul and pure. [If the fish is so injured that some spot becomes uncov. ered by the slime, a barely visible fun gus will be likely to lodge there, and when It is once lodged the process ol its reproduction is very rapid. It soon extends over the gills and kills the fish. The primary purpose of the slime of the fish is to reduce its friction when in motion through the water and in crease ite speed. It also serves as a cushion to the scales, which it thus protects from many injuries, Velocity of the Wind, The great hurricane which wrought such destruction to Porto Rico has furnished remarkable records of ve locity. Recent advices from the weath- or bureau station Acadatteras contain some very startling figures and prove that If we are to register the highest possible velocities of the wind our au- tomatic apparatus will have to be strengthened accordingly. The great. eat velocity occurred shortly after noon, the 17th of August, when records were made which prove this hurricane else been the ost severe within the past 75 years, It seems on the morning of August gales were experienced at which the velocity of the wind ranged from 36 to 50 miles an At 4 o'clock of the morning of 17th the wind was blowing 70 an hour and at 1 o'clock p. m, it was 93 miles an hour, with extreme of from 120 to this time miles velocities 140 miles an At Cups were thie anemometler but the report probably blown wind an even greater force p.m. of that day.

Half an hour of daylight is sufficient for building a house of the stems and leaves of the fehi banana, and fire is produced by rubbing sticks. If the running water is deeply sunk among stones by working in banana leaves, they bring it to the surface, The chase of eels. which in those dripping mwountaing become almost amphibious, offers another instance of their ingenuity. They tear off with thelr teeth the fibrous bark of “puran” (Hibiscus tili- aceus) and a moment after apply it to noosing small fish, If one ie sent for fralt, he will nenal iy make a basket on the way by plait ing the segments of a cocoanut leaf.
