The Koran is most explicit in its injunctions
about the cleanliness not only Of the priests
but also of the followers of the Prophet and
Christianity teaches the same lesson. 1t is true
that these principles have frequently been dis
Obeyed and that by those adherents Of each
faith most noted for their piety. But this has
been due not so much to negligence as to de-
sire to do penance by notifying the flesh. 1t
is to the latter object that must be ascribed
such practices as the wearing OF hair shirts by
Christian monks and missionaries in Africa the
refusal Of Mahometan dervishes to remove the
sickening masses OF horrible flies from their
ophthalmia stricken eyes. from self inflicted
wounds. and the action OF the Indian Yogis and
fakirs in permitting their heads and bodies to
become to such a degree incrusted with dirt
as to render them objects OF positive loathlng
to all who do not belong to the same faith as
themselves. 1t is this adoption of uncleanliness
method of religious modification that has
led to the mistaken impression that there is
connection between piety and dirt; that is to
say, the dirt OF things animate.

by the straight nose, pointed chin and

are an eXcitable people, who become
almost demons when aroused, but who
in peace are mirthful and trusty. They
are chiefly Mohammedans, and cling
to the most fanatical forms of that
worship mixed with the lesser forms
of weird fetishism, their dances and
ceremonies being often repellant and
hideous. Some of the tribes practice
the circumcision and other customs
revealing Jewish ancestry. In war
the Somalis use a large spear as the

plored to some extent during the

modern exploration of the country
dates from 1854, when Richard Fran

army, and John Hanning Spoke,
companion, undertook a journey to
the holy places of the Hed,iaz. For 80
years thereafter little progress was
made in the exploration OFF Somali-

of them under these same explorers,
discovered the great lake of Victoria
Nyanza and Albert Nyanza, to the

fectiye protectorate in Egypt Britain
began to see the advantage of com
ing to definite decision concerning
strip of territory on the Somali
coast as commercial base. In 1854,
therefore, Great Britain announced a
protectorate over some 6S,CG0 square
miles of territory and fortified the
ports of Zeyla, Bulhar and Berbera
with garrisons of Indian troops under
British officers.
In 1870 Italy had begun to send her
expeditions into Somaliland and Abys-
sinia in much the same systemless way
of the other powers except that Italy
probably had the best notion of the
value of the country as colonial pos
session and also had the greatest de-
signs upon it. To further her plans
which contemplated the establish
ment of protectorate over Abyss
sinia, she purchased coaling station
at Assab bay, on the Red sea. When
Egypt fell, the Italians rapidly extend
ed their occupation north and south
from this station. AS result of this
expansion the Italians secured strip
which is now known as Eritreo. This
was chiefly valuable as the approach
to Abyssinia-a matter which the
Abyssinians fully appreciated, for
they soon rose in rebellion oEer the
implied insult. A war seemed immi-
nent, but the conflict was temporarily
prevented by Great Britain, which,
with Germany, officially recognized
the Italian protectorate over Abys-
sinia. But this compact the Russians
and French refused to acknowledge
or sustain. The Abyssinians' chafed
under this condition of affairs until
1896, when they again rose against the
Italians, whose army they met and
SO severely defeated that all idea CT
an Italian protectorate was aban-
doned, and the boundaries of the Ital-
ian protectorate was abandoned
and the boundaries of the Ital-
ian colony We're contracted. Brit
ain, in friendly treaty, also yield
ed some of her claims in Somaliland.
Russia and France were in high ylee
over the discontinue of Italy, and
chided that country for having
