roundthe-world trip should include the

moral certainty that the heir TO the German

Spies at Forts.
| There has been great deal OF mysterious
spying on German military establishments

\ Gently men undiscovered, but known to
have been foreign spies, at night endeav-

and raised his rifle. There was at once a
flash and report and a bullet whzzed past
the sentry's ear. He promptly replied with
his rifle, but the assailants had dropped

could no longer see where they were
The sentry gave the alarm and a corporal
with another bombardier helped him scour
the vicinity, but the assailants had no
difficulty in conecaling themselves from
observation in the obscurity Of the woods.
AS the corporal feared renewal of the
attack he left both his bombardIers at the

DR.. Berger. an Oriental traveller, makes
a remarkable statement ON the alleged in
security Of British rule in Egypt He as
serts that in the case of an instruction IN
Egypt the natives would be armed with
plenty OF the most modern weapons, there
being over 1000 English repeating rifles
with ammunition buried in a certain neigh
borhood. These weapons have been snug
gled into the nelghborhood despite the
watchfulness of the British cruisers. The
British authorities, DIR. Berger declares,
have made strenuous efforts to locate the
hidden spot, but no native has been found
willing to betray the insurrectionist cause.
He adds, facts have been confirmed to him
by British officers.
