fore the Rout of the Khalifa.
Mr. Neufeld's R.velations.
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.
But people who had read Slatin
Pasha's story of fire and sword in the
Sudan must have felt little sympathy
for the Khalifa's followers thelr
English advocates, and Charles Neu-
feld's relation of his twelve years of
ery ¢ to the Mahdists will confirm
belief that march of
upon barbarism cannot

why Fishes are . Spey.
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.

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

cushion to the scales, which it thus
protects from many injuries,
