SLAVE TRAFFIC.
BRITISH DESTROYER
TO STOP IT..
The Government has decided to cinforce the British naval forces in the Red Sea by the despatch of a division of fast destroyers.
Naval patrols, formed of sloops belonging to the British, French and altan Navies, 'are maintain- ing an active supervision of these waters with a view to the suppres Son of the slave, traffic from the African to the Arabian coast. Their work consists in stopping and searching the native dhows which they meet in the course of their patrols in order to ascertain that there are no slaves' being transported on board them. From time to time slaves are discovered, the dhow arrested, and the slaves liberated and sent home.
It is, however, becoming apparent that the vessels which have been operating in the Red Sea are not sufficient completely to suppress the traffic in slaves: There are numerous islands
with rocky creeks into which the dhows salling by night can retire during the daytime and hide, and with a fresh breeze: it is not always possible for the warships, hitherto available, to overtake the dbows.
The Government hopes, with the reinforcement of fast ships now being sent, to put an end to the slave trade in the Red Sea.

Why We Are Afraid. «
Primitive man began his existence on earth under condi- tions that caused his hair to stand on end a dozen times during the day of thriling adventures. When he looked around him, it was with an anxious, watchful eye for enem- ies, and an ear trained to catch the i howlings of strange beasts. It was: with reluctance that he surrendered his consciousness at night, for there) was no security about his rude couch. He looked up at the sky with no sense of friendly aid to be sought there, but rather with: craven dread of some malignĮ intent in the strange movemens · of the stars and in the periodic appearance of flaming comets. Man lived for countless ages with fear at his elbow; and the centuries of his advance in knowledge and culture have not enabled him to rld himself of the monster. One result of this is that the last gauge of almost. every civilization abounds with taboos and supersti- tions; while even a good many of the sayings of the great are colour- ed with the emotion of fear. Science, has disposed, of supersti- tion, but it has come to understand only a very little more about the emotion of fear. It is only in his head and in his beart that man is: sometimes a hero; In the pit of his stomach he is always a coward, Physiologically, the emotion of fear hits us very literally below: the belt. It affects the great notwork of nerves situated, under
