emily pricked it: but the illusion was
soon dispelled when he heard cries Of
pain all about him. The horses, too,
BECAME FESTIVE and two were found to
be wounded. Looking at his foot the
soldier found an iron arrow had pene-
trated it. He Immediately plucked it
out. About fifteen others had been
hit. and the source of the arrows be.
ing discovered the men took cover
under wagons. 1t "a subsequently
estimated that about fifty arrows had
been discharged and every third ar
row had taken effect. The import
ance of these weapons particularly
when dropped on resting soldiers is
therefore considerable and the fact
that about half the casualties consist
ed 'of wounds in the lower limbs shows
how vulnerable the resting soldier is
to arrows from above.
Evidently the arrows scatter con
siderably for in one case four com
panies were simultaneously hit.
One case was mentioned of an ar
row passing through the scalp without
iBjuring the skull but another caused
death by entering the left temple and
passing out again at the right.

Instead of Furnishing the nan for

his, which was one decorated with
golden oak leaves. Other soldiers
have objected to the corporal wearing
the cap, but it remains on his head.

First Real Attorney esnsral.

One hundred years ago Richard
Rush Of Pennsylvania became attor.
ney general Of the United States. He
was the first attorney general to be
recognized as a member of the presi.
dents cabinet. Up to this time the
head of the nations legal department
had not been regarded as standing on
the same footing with the other mem
bers OF the cabinet. His salary was
much less, and he had neither Office
room nor clerks, and was not required
to reside permanently in Washington.
Mr." Rush was eminently qualified for
the honor bestowed on him. He had
long been looked upon as one of the
leaders Of the American bar. Though
he served in the cabinets of three
presidents, his most notable achieve.
ments were In the line OF diplomacy
rather than as cabinet officer. He
served eight years as minister to Eng
land and four years as minister to
France.

Discovery Of Australia.

The claim to have been the first
discoverer Of Australia has been nut
forward by many men and many ma
tions. Thus the French alleee that
Captain paulovier de Bonneville
made the discovery in 1904. Recent
researches have, however, proved that
1t was Madagascar, and not Australia
that this French navigator sighted,
There Is little doubt that the latter
was discovered prior to 1912 by the
portuguese, but no record remains of
the details Of the discovery. The
Dutch yacht Duyfhen, from Bantam.
which had been dispatched to explore
New Guinea, sighted the mainland in
March, 1905, and In June of the same
year Louis Vaez de Torres, a Span
iard' accompanied by Fernandez de
Quiros, made the same discovery. The
name OF this first navigator is the
hrst authenticated one known In con-
nectton with Australia, and his discoy.
cry has been perpetuated in, the
nomenclature OF the Straits of Torres.
William Dampier was the first Eng.
l1shman to visit Australia, and Can
tain Cook the first explorer to give
any really authentic and valuable in
formation as to this then unknown
continent.

Final Harnessinu o, Mile.

Work has been commenced ON an.
other great scheme to reclaim by ir.
rigation vast tracts Of desert in the
Soudan. 1t is believed It can be made
to add enormously to the cotton out
put Of the British Empire. The tract
which is to be watered 10 known as
the Gizra territory. 1t lies between
the Blue and White Niles, below
khartoum, and consists of 100000
acres. The force and flow Of the two
rivers Is sufficient to water the entire
district when properly harnessed.
The proposal is to build two dams
south Of Khartoum, one over each
OF the rivers. Thus the tract between
the streams will be irrigated, while at
the same time the force OF the water
flowing into Egypt will De controlled.
At present the Blue Nile comes down
In a raging flow, and the White Nile.
flowing In steadier fashion, combines
with II to make huge overflow. The
building Of the two dams will enable
the flow to be properly regulated and
will practically mean the final har.
