Indeed, all doubt on this point was dispeled by
the discovery of two strong companies of Haden-

est hills. They mounted, mostly CamelS.

attack, and the means adopted by Won kerber
for repelling it. the presence of the relieving
force became known. He had heard much of the
fighting qualities of the lladendowas: They were
brave; but they were not given to throwing their
lives away uselessly. Judging by the steady crack
ling of musketry, they were eating up the smaller
contingent wit the least possible risk to themselves
They were quite capable of delivering fierce charge
when they witnessed the approach of the rescuers.
or, the other hand, they might allow the new
corners to combine with Won kerber, and depend on
their rifle fire to dispose of the reinforced defense.
He must decide quickly, once he knew the con-
ditions. and it imperative. therefore that some
thing in the nature of reconnaissance should be
conducted from the shoulder of the rising ground
which terminated the plateau. BY shouting to
Abdur kad'r and signaling to his own men, Dick
managed to check the furious onward rush of the
detachment. It easy matter to stop the
excited canels. The stubborn brutes equally

that met their anxious gaze.
The only practica bic road
descended rapidly toward
animmensely wide and shall
low depression. Conceiva-
bly,. this basin might have
been formed by the sub
sidence of the land all round
an extinct volcano, whose
one-time activity was re-
vealed by a cluster of small
cones in the distance. Run
ming due east, and pa ssing
north of the crater thus
curiously marked, was the
arid river bed which created
the GA sis, and rendered pos
sible the well which gave its
name to the place. Unfor-
tun2tely. the group of lava
hIllOCks was ituated much
beyond the center of the
hollow. They were COM
M nded by small hills on
three sides. and, though
capable of defense in some
respects, they offered the
era We disadvantage of being
in a circle. Consequently,
the only section secure from
an enemy's fire was that on
the western side. and it was
evident that the defenders
had found this to be actually
the case. They we're, of
course, clearly visible from
the ridge, where, unknown
to them, the lead of a
strong relief was then lying
in the cleft of a rock split
to it's base by extremes of
heat and cold.
Dick counted the cones.
There were seven OF them

that time would have brought hope and renewed
courage to their hard pressed friends Then granted
that the Hadendowas dared general attack, the
whole force, resCuers and rescued, fall back
converting the struggle into guard action, and
compelling the Hadendowas to reiinquish the ad-
vantage of the higher ground. Once they came into
the open, Royson counted on the superior shooting
of his six sailors, all marksmen of the royal navy

Arabs had the confidence of knowing that each mile
they gained in the retreat brought them nearer the
powerful caravan in the rear.
THE scheme was excellent in every way. Under
binary conditions it would have achieved success
but the mind can never IKE into reckoning the
vagarles of the insane. 1t is quite certain that

and each man of the half
dozen who came with him.
Already three groups of yell
ing men were stirring the dust
into life as they scampered
to the rescue across the COM
paratively level floor of the
basin. In FIVE minutes or less
the Hadendowa attack would
be rolled back into the hills,
and neither friend nor foe had
any other thought than that
the whole of Fensha we's ka fila
was pouring its irresistible
power into the fray.
The situa ton was precisely
one of the suddenly arising
and acute crises in warfare
which acCentuate the differ
enCe between races. While
Won kerber, a md Mrs. Haxton
too, for that ma tier. saw the
urgent need of prolonging the
desperate STRIFE for just those
few minutes, their Ara bs,
after fighting coolly and
bravely throughout an ex-
hausting day, now quite lost
their heads. Needless of the
Austria ms pra yers and i'm
precautions, needless of Mrs.
Haxton's shrill appeal that
they should beat off the few
ASA liza hts then perilouslv
close at hand, they yielded
to the blind instinct of self
ton, and rushed pell-
NELL for the camels. AT once
these men of a ma rtial tribe,
men who had cheerfully ia ced
the far greater danger of the
Hadendowa general attack,
became untra mneled saw
ages, each striving like a
maniac to secure a mount for
himself, and careless whether
or not his employers and
comrades escaped also.
Many of the camels were
wounded, some were de- d,

when it was borne in on him
that to obtain a camel meant

BUILDING INTO CANADA.
Great Northern Reaching Out in Up
per Columbia River District.

A dispatch from Wenatchee says of
the Great Northern IS proposed rail-
road line to Canada:
Apparently reliable information has
come to Wenatchee that the Great
Northern contractors are at work
grading for a railroad near the Cana
dian line on the west side from
Cloverdale. The road has been grad
ed distance of about 80 miles west
of Cloverdale, and the grading and
bridging crews are now working west
from Sumas up the Nooksack river.
The intention of the Great North
ern is to pass through the Cascades
at the pass at the head of Slate creek
then descend on this side down the
Method river.
Following the course of the Meth
ow river to where it flows into the
Columbia, the road will follow the
Columbia down to Wenatchee. From
the mouth of the Method, north to
the Canadian line, another branch
will be built.
The preliminary surveys for the
line along the Columbia river from |
Wenatchee were made last summer
and it is expected that this action
bears out the conjectures the people
had at that time.

ALCOHOL FROM NATURAL GAS.
A New Process Invented to Provide
for Cheaper Product.

iOi
A patent has been issued to DR..
Henry Spencer Blackmore, an indus
trial chemist of Washington, D. c.,
for converting natural gas into al
cohol. Manufacturing interests of
the United States are making inquiry
to the Bureau of Manufactures in re-
gard to this new method of produc-
ing alcohol, and the following alb
stract of a letter from Doctor Black
more is therefore presented:
have devised a process of convert
ing natural gas, which contains on
an average SO per cent methane, into
alcohol by the action Of limited por-
tlons of oxygen or air in the presence
of notwithstanding fluid, such as
steam, which prevents complete COM
bustion and maintains the tempera-
ture below the decomposing point Of
alcohol, the oxidation being induced
and maintained by passing the CASE
Gus ingredients through an electri-
cally heated gauze.
By subjecting natural gas to linn
tied or restrained oxidation or COM
bustion in this manner, 1t is convert
ed directly into alcohols and dehy-
drogenated alcohols knowns as aide
ahydes, the aldehyde of methane al
cohol (wood alcohoD being known as
formaldehyde. The producet, there
fore, is a mixture methyl alcohol
containing a small portion of formal
dehyde which can be readily separat-
ed.
If the combustion is properly reg
ulated and controlled, 5000 feet of
natural gas will produce approximate
ly so gallons of alcohol, and as nat
ural gas can be readily obtained In
quantities at from to 10
cents per thousand feet, it follows that
the cost of so gallons of alcohol pro-
duced in this manner would only be
25 to so cents for raw material
A plant demonstrating the COM
mercial value Of this process will
shortly be erected in western Penn
'ylvania, probably at Bradford.
