The most Interesting relics of past
ages that one encounters in the Guiana
country are immense stones containing
hieroglyphic inscriptions. These are
to be found on the sides of the noun
tains and upon many Of the rocks in the
rivers throughout British and vene-
zuelan Guiana, and have evoked great
deal of discussion among ethnologists.
No theory regarding their origin has
yet been accepted, though they are said
to be similar to those found in the ex-
plofation of Phonicia. DR.. Maracano
Of Paris, after careful study of the
skulls found in an old Indian burial
ground of the upper Orinoco. says that
they are similar to those discovered in
the Egyptian tombs, from which il de-
duced the theory of Phenician origin,

officers of the Egyptian army little
thought, as they slipped their coffee.
that the greatest battle Of this quarter
of the century had been fought beyond
the Abyssinian hills, and that the heart
of the Soudan was in a ferment. At
Eorosko, the terminus of the great des-
ert route, Kitchener, the Sirdar-that is,
the commander-in-chief- his staff
never dreamt that the fanatical der
wishes, intoxicated with the news of
European defeat, were then pushing
forward towards Egypt's borders.
1t was the second night out from AS
slut. The north wind had proved faith
full to Mehemet, and the lateen sails of
his dababeah bad bellied to the warm
wet northern wind from the Mediter-
ranean, and his heart was glad within
him. He was miles ahead of his Ameri-

called Hassan. But even the north wind
of the Nile is treacherous. 1t soughed,
sighed, blew few fitful gusts, and soon
there was not breath to culver the
broad leaves of the palms on the shore.
And Korosko was only ten miles away.
On the high poop of the dahabeah he
sat, and as the crescent moon rose high
in the heavens and illumined the mys-

and which he couldn't understand. He
was being beaten. His whole intense
eastern nature went out in longing
for victory. Anything to beat the
brother whom he hated with all the
latent savagery of his nature. He
thought for a moment that he would
run along the shore-but that was mere
folly. Oh, for wind! He prayed, as
he had never prayed before, to the God
of Mahomet for a wind. He paced to
and fro in feverish restlessness. He
ordered his men, who thought him
| nothing less than mad, to get out their
| sweeps; but in moment he saw their
| uselessness against the strong canvas.
They lost ground, and had to tie up
again. There was a satirical cry of
"Yale, YALE" from the throat of Has
san, as the launch swept past.
But Mehemet's prayer was answered.
At this season the wind of North Africa
seldom fails. It came. It came so
