factory feature in the whole Egyptian
situation"
1t is instructive to compare %ese
words with what Lord Cromer wrote
TEL years before, and one year prior
to the appointment of the present ad-
wiser to the ministry of the interior.
In Egypt No. 2, 1897, occur the fol-
lowing remarks: "On the whole
think it may be said that serious
crime is not only diminishing, but
is year by year becoming more un.
popular in Egypt. 1t cannot yet be
said that every respectable citizen is
a policeman, but some steady prog
ress is being made in the direction OF
leaguing together the whole popula-
ton against the criminal class" Al
ready in 1904 Egypt No. y his lord
ship had to chronicle that there ap-
pears to be a general impression
that there has been large increase
of crime in Egypt"
Whatever, then, may be the cause
of the increased crime, it is need
less to look for its explanation in the
"original character" Of Egyptians.
Rather the passages above cited COM
pei us to seek the determining cause
in the inefficacy of the preventive
and protective measures adopted by
the government. The ministry of the
interior seems to admit that the prob
lem is one which can be dealt with,
for if report be true it has decided
to adopt a drastic remedy for the
i'll by the institution of administra-
tive exile.-From the Egyptian Stand.

: CAPE HUNTING DOGS.

Large AnteIopes Easily Run Down
BY Pack Of These Animals.
A specimen Of the Cape hunting
dog. Lycaon pictus, has lately been
added to the menagerie in the Lon
don Geological Gardens. It is an ami
NAL which does not take kindly to
captivity and the individuals that
from time to time have reached the
collection have ever been short lived.
This species bears strong resemb-
lance to hyena. says the Rhodesia
Herald, not only in its markings, but
in the general appearance. 1t is a
tall dog, fairly slim in build and with
long limbs. The broad and rather
nat head ends in short muzzle, the
ears are very large.
The ground color of the coat, which
Is rather scantily haired, is yellow
ish; the markings, which are dis
posed about the body and limbs in q
very irregular manner, are short
streaks and blotches Of black, white
and gray. The tail is of fair length,
somewhat thickly haired, and ends in
a whitish tuft. The muzzle is black
and black stripe runs down between
the eyes,:
The Cape hunting dog has a wide
range in Africa south and east of the
Sahara Desert. 1t is wonderfully swift
footed and hunts its prey in regular
packs. Large antelopes are easily
rum down by these packs and domes.

lection against the depredations OF
