with the Mahdists fanaticisra SIatin's
ammunition was nearly exhausted, and
his troops were unreliable, and when sum
moned to surrender by the mahdI he laid
down his arms. In June, 1884, Slatin
was compelled to accompany the mahdi in
his descent upon Khartum. During the
siege he was discovered to be in CORE
Fpondence with Gordon and was thrown
into prison and half starved
He witnessed the fall OF Khartum and
was one of numerous Europeans carried
into captivity when Khartum was de-
stroyed by the mahdi and Omdurman was
made the new capital of the Sudan
When the mahdi was poisoned in 1885 by
q Sudanese woman he had compelled to
enter his harem, Slatin became a member
OF the bodyguard Of the khalifa, the NAH
dis successor. He was very closely watched
and nine attempts to secure his escape
failed. The tenth was destined to be more
successful. Several months ago Major
Wingatc, the English officer who has sue
ceeded in effecting the release of so many
European captives, and Baron Heidler Won
Egeregg, Austrian consul general at Cairo,
sent guides to Slatin and made elaborate
plans for his escape.
On the night of Feb. 90 Satin found an
opportunity to slip away from Omdurman
unobserycd. He was mounted ON q fleet
camel and with him We're the two faithful
Arab guides. After a hard ride of "a hours
the camcls became exhausted and new ones
were obtained after q soul torturing delay
of six days, during which Slatin hid among
the hills. With two fresh camels the party
started again, swimming river with the
aid of waterskins placed beneath the necks
of the camels. Troops were in pursuit of
him, but they passed by without discover
ing his whereabouts. On one occasion he
was recognized bya man who was captured
by the guides and who fortunately proved
TO be q cousin of one of them On several
occasions searching parties nearly captured
the fugitiveS, and they finally risked a four
days journey through the desert to elude
their pursuers. At length, after weeks of
hardships and narrow. escapes from cap
turc, Siatin arrived in safety at Cairo. Sew
eral Europeans are still held captive at
OIndurnan.

But Professor Scriptures Invention Is Able
to Measure 1t,
Professor Edward w. Scripture of Yale
has invented n sort of stop watch by which
he can indicate the start and finish of
thought along the cerebral race track. To
the lay mind thought is generally consid-
cred n record breaker for speed, and the
idea of measuring it at first seems impossi-
BILE. The feat can be DONE however, with
the aid of Professor Scriptures pendulum
chrOnoscope or pendulum timer. In de
scribing the apparatus the professor says:
"A very accurately swinging pendulum
is so arranged that to person sitting just
behind cloth banner hung on the instru-
ment color is suddenly shown as pen
dulum swings along. The person presses
q button, and this catches a light pointer
attached to the pendulum. On scale in
front the exact distance travelled by the
pendulum from tho moment the color was
shown to the moment the person pressed
tho button can be read off in thousandths
of q second. This gives the time of the
simple reactions for sight by using two
cOlors, for only one of which the person
presses the button. The mental processes
of discrimination and choice are added to
