about the rifles is that they are almost every

and most miscellaneous collection of present
day guns. There was apparently no method in
the arming OF the followers OF the Khalifa. No
matter what the arm might be- II was pressed
into the service irrespective of the all-important
ammunition. This, no doubt accounts for the
fact that the Dervishes so largely depended
upon their spears in the fight at Omdurman.
The collection of spears is a very striking one.
Some of them have heads inlaid with golden
threads carefully worked in quaint designs, and
the stats TO which are attached the banners of
the different Sheks are richly ornamented with
gold and silver. II was noticed that. although
many OF the sheaths of the swords were OF dis

responsible for It, He says that some time last
wear his party lad got back TO Lado about
thousand miles south OF Khartoum. and that he

Naturally. he was impatient for udings. In
that part Of Africa he had often come across
wizards, who pretended to transform 'heh-
selves into lions or other animals al nsht ana
to travel immense distances in this guise Ihey
also assert that they acquire information at
such times about stolen cattle and other lost
property Dr. Felkin says that, although he has
no exclamation to offer in regard to these alleged
feats he had a chance to verify one OF their
stories.
One morning after his arrival at Lado man
came to his tent, evidently in great excitement
and said that the local wizard, or mlogo, had
been roaming about the country the night be-
fore in the form Of jackal. During his RAM
HES the "mlogo' had visited Meschera-el-kek,
fully $50 miles away. between Lado and Khar-
tcum. The wizard declared that two steamers
had just arrived at this point, and had brought
mails He also described minutely the appear
ance of an English officer accompanying the
boats.
DR. Felkin rdculed the story. But Emin
Pacha took the thing more seriously. He di-
rected that the wizard be brought before him,
and questioned the fellow.
