The general fact that the tempera-

levels above the earth's surface has
long been recognized. Meteorologists
tell us that there is usually fall of
one degree Fair. for every 500 feet of
ascent above the sea level, with certain
variations for local causes. We may

Savages Who May rse Conquered. but Who

As ut Teb and Tamai, the wounded
Arabs refused to be made prisoners,
and great caut on had TO be exercised
in moving about the field, no. only to
avoid the covert stabs dealt by the
bleeding Arabs, but the rushes and cuts
of the fanatics who slammed death in
order that they might the more sure
ly get chance of bury .ng their weapons
in one OF us.
Exploring along tn wady party OF
our men came upon six dead and four
wounded Arabs lying under a BUSH
dwarf minosa tree. The soldiers had
an interpreter with them. and the
Arabs were called upon to surrender
and come out. That they said they
could not do: would the soldiers there
fore come and take them. The four
wounded men still had Their spears in
their hands. Every good" sad our
soldiers, put down Your spears, and
we will see you are well treated. and
do all we can to cure your wounds"
The answer of the four Arabs came
fierce and cosc Sc: Put down our
spears. infidel dogs! By God and the
prophet, nevcr!" There was crack
of Martin;-Hcnrys. You can guess the
rest. 1t was again. as at Teb and
Tamai, almost impossible to take pris-
Oners, and we secured but two of their
wounded alive.
The third prisoner assisted to bring

His story was that he had been one OF
