How the Bedouins Conquer Thirst

In an article on "The Rescue. of Cfiinese

of the September "Century,"General 11.
E. Colston, late of the Egyptian General
Staff, nays: "In the 'Waterless Lend,"
water is the paramount question. If it be
asked how a large body of Bedouins like the
ten ehousand, who nearly destroyed the
Bridge squares at Tamai manage to sub -

they do not need the enormous trains re -

The Wear ot Enitlish Coins. .
More than 211,000 aterling worth of silver
is waated every year in the comae cf the
circulation of crowns, half-crowns, florins,
shillings and sixpences. One hundred
sovereigns of the date 1820, which were
weighed in 1859, showed a loss in weight
through the wear of circulation whitsb ISEW
estimated at 21 s. 711. There is, therefore,

The failure of all attempts to unravel
the mystery of the Wiesaluolion warder

the Paris Figaro, that when a murderer

the men who cut up the body of Baea is in
its degree a conarmation of Figare'e theory,
It is from the annals of crime in France,
however, that we always eared to derive
the gent pioturesettely horrible narratives.
Figaro quotes the cam of siateen Frew%
and Belgian murderers who, during the
last halt century attempted to conceal their
crimes by this means, but who in every
case were confronted at last with the
mutilated bodies whose identity they had
sought to destroy. The firae ease was that

them to various parts of Paris, but he •was

the Hawaiian's figured the earth as a
great mass which the earthashaker, or
earthquake -god, laid upon the eentral
