Warmth of Birds Blood.

The blood of birds offers some data
for thought not found in the blood Of
any other class of animals. The blood
corpuscles are shaped differently, be-
ing oval instead of round. But this is
not the difference to which refer.
Birds blood is several degrees warmer
than that of other animals. To man
such a temperature Of the blood as
birds possess would be fever. This
high temperature causes molecular
changes in the tissues and brain to take
place more rapidly. which would cause
the consumption of more food, and
brain activity would be more intense.
so that for the same amount Of work a
smaller brain would meet all the re-
quirements. which at lower tempera-
ture would require one of greater size.

BATTLE OF SPION KOP.

Gene raj Buffers Official Dispatch Describ-
ing the Fight.
LONDON, Jan. 3O.-The following is
General Buffers dispatch, dated Spear
mans Camp, Saturday, Jan. q:
"On Jan. 20 Warren drove back enemy
and obtained possession of the southern
crests of the high table land extending
from the line Of Acton Homes and Hon.
gers Poort to the western Ladysmith
hills. From then to Jan. % he remained
in close contact with the enemy. The
enemy held a strong position on a range
of small kopjes stretching from north
west to southeast across the plateau
from Acton Homes through Spion kop
to the left bank of the Tugela.
1.-THE actual position held was per-
fectly tenable, but did not lend itself to
an advance, as the southern slopes were
SO steep that Warren could not get an
effective artillery position and water
supply was difficulty.
ION Jan. % I assented to his attack
ing Spion kop, a mountain, which was
was far more accessible from the north
than from the south. On the night of
Jan. 20 he attacked Spion kop but
Found it Very Difficult to Hold,
as it's perimeter was too large and water
which he had been led to believe existed
in this extraordinary dry season was
found very deficient. The crest was
held all that day against severe attacks
and heavy shell fire. Our men fought
with great gallantry. I would espec-
tally mention the conduct of the Second
Cameronians and the Third Kings
Rifles, who supported the attack on the
from the steepest side and in
every case fought their way to the top;
of the Second Lancashire Fusileers and
the Second Middlesex, who magnif-
Gently maintained the best traditions Of
the British army throughout the trying
day of Jan. "a, and Thornycroft's
mounted infantry, who fought through
out the day equally well alongside of
them. -.
General Woodgate, who was in COM
hand at the summit, having been
the officer who succeeded him
decided to abandon the top and did SO
before dawn Jan. %. I reached War
ren's camp at a. m. on Jan. % and de-
cided that

was too strong to allow me to force it..
Accordingly I decided to withdraw the
force to the south Of the Tugela. At 8

train and by 8 a. m. Jan. ~ Saturday,
Warren's force was concentrated south
Of the Tugela without the loss of man

''The fact that the force could with
draw from actual touch-in some cases
the lines were less than a thousand
yards apart-with the enemy in the
manner it did, is, I think, sufficient evil

that we were permitted tie Withdraw our

Usual Attempts to Minimize
South African Situation
Lacking.
Disposition Now to Face the DIFF.
fculties and to Find a
Way Out.
Buffers Official Account of the
Fight and Some Comment
On 1t.

LONDON, Jan. 30.-2:17 p. m.-The
usual airy attempts to minimize the Sc
robustness of the situation in South AZ
RIGA are entirely lacking, and it is
frankly acknowledged that the most Sc
rious effort of the present war has dis
mally failed. There is no sign of wish
on the part of the leaders of public opin-
ion to disguise the ugly facts, but on the
contrary, there is a disposition to face
the full difficulties and discover the best
way out. In short, the policy voiced
everywhere is gathering up of forces for
more effective blows. All hopes Of the
speedy relief of Ladysmith have been
abandoned, and the consensus of expert
opinion urges the immediate shifting Of
the theater of war from the rocky kop-
jes of Natal, to the open veldt of the
Free State. One thing appears certain
another long pause is inevitable un-
less the Beers assume the offensive, be-
cause, even in the event of General Bull
Ter further attempting to reach Lady
smith, the planning of new move will
necessarily occupy time.
Afternoon Papers Draw Parallels.
The afternoon newspapers are draw
ing attention to the closeness of the par
allel between the Federal attack on
General Lee, at fredericksburg, and the
operations on the Upper Tugela.
Curiously enough, too, there is visible,
especially in military circles, an under
current of relief at the news that the
British are safely south of the Tugela,
for the rumors of Saturday had conjured
up visions Of an immense catastrophe.
The St. James Gazette returns to
scathing criticism of the language of
General Buffers reports. 1t says:
General Buffers reflection on the ter
ror he put into the foe reminds US of
things we have heard about Chinese
mandarinS.
A Question of Troops.
The afternoon newspapers are dis
cussing whence are to come the troops
for protracted campaign. 1t is be-
coming generally recognized that some
form Of compulsory service is more i'm
minent than previously thought of.
The St. James Gazette, however, sug-
gests that the solution of pouring more
and more troops into South Africa sa-
vors of the Spanish action in Cuba, adj
ding that the solution of making better
use of the thousands already there has
never suggested itself.
The queens speech at the reassem-
bling of parliament is awaited with un-
usual interest in the expectation that a
considerable increase in the naval and
military expenditure will be necessitated
by the lessons of the war and be alto
gether apart from the special war vote.
