A CORRESPONDENT'S ESCAPE FROM.
LADYSMITH.
afr. llution, Reuter's correspondent, who managed to get through the Beer line at Lady smith, gives the following account of his Experiences:
On the failure of Genemi Buller's third attempt to reach Ladysmith. Betermined to earleavour to effect my escape from captivity leaving my assistant behind. Having received the necessary permission from the General, I started off on foot at half-past seven on the evening of the 10th, accompanied by a antive

Three bullets came whistling through the air above our beads. We lay quiet for thirty minutes, and then cautiously crawled on our hands and knees for over half a mile, expecting every monient to be followed by a volley of Mauser bullets. All was quiet, however, save, for the distant hum of conversation, which could be head in the stillness of the night proceeding from the direction of the enemy's fines
At last we rose and made for Pieter's Station up ant down tremendously steep hills covered with stones. We kept closely to the Kathr palis. Our progress was naturally slow. At iwis o'clock we reached Pieter's Station, where there were two Boer camps. Here we had a myst anxious time. We were again challenged, and again laki to crawl over rocks and stones for a inile until we were quite clear of the chemy.
"We had now reached slightly better country, though it was thickly studded with them bushes, and inade gond progress. At six o'clock we arrived at a friendly Kafir's hut two miles from the Tugela, completely exhausted, having craw led and walked a distance of twenty-two miles. Here I lay hidden insidethe hut the whole of Sun- day, as the Boers could be seen in small bodies patrolling the plain through.which I had passed the previous night.

Novels seldom yield a story surpassing in strangeness that unfolded by the Queen's Proctor in the matrimonial suit of Airey 7. Airey, Sarah Airey, in December 1898, obtain ed a decree niri against her husband, Francis Airey, on the ground of his misconduct with a Mrs. Simpson. The Queen's Proctor intervened, and at the president to rescind the decree, alleging that the original citation had not been served un Francis Airey, but on a certain Wil-Halsey fiam Mark, whom Mrs. Airey had identified in the presence of a witness as her husband. The real Airey had entirely disappeared since 1890. William Maik, a railway employee, was living in 1893 with a Mrs. Simpson. One day, as he was walking in the street, a woman smiled and nodded to him. An intimacy resulted, Mark knowing the woman as Sarah Airey, while she persisted in calling him Frank Airey, though he denied that it was his name. So five years later, he gets divorced, under the guise of At seven o'clock on Monday night I crept Francis Airey, from a woman who never silently down to the Tugela, and, with the help

In une instance
we got so close that we could see them lying down under the trees, but owing to the valg able information we gained from the native hats we invariably managed to escape coming into actual contact with them. When day broke it was a tremendous relief to see the guide point to a hill and say There is Chieveley. Shall be there in three hours. No Dutchmans now, I felt my strength renewed, and spurted on anxious to reach my destina tion.
"L'arrived at Chievely at seven o'clock an the morning of the 13th. After reporting myself to Colonel Sandbach and Major Jones, of the Intelligence Department, I took the ten o'clock train for Durban, unshaven and un washed, looking more like an escaped convict than a respectable war correspondent.
THE MALARIA INVESTIGATIONS. On the 13th ulto. Dr. Patrick Manson, medical adviser to the Colonial Office, read a paper on A School of Tropical Medicine" before the members of the Colonial Institute, at the Whitehall Rooms. -
In the course of his remarks he called atten- tion to various tropical diseases, and urged the necessity for a special system of study, point- ing how such a system could, under existing medical arrangements, Be best carried out. The Colonial Office authorities were alive to the practical importance of the recent develop. ments of what he might designate matariology, and also in the necessity of educating the public towards adopting the measures of protection so plainly indicated thereby. The Colonial Office had already, in confunction with the Royal Society, sent a commission to Central Africa and to the West Coast, to study malaria on the 'spot; it had now Authorised him to make, in conjunction with the London School of Tropical Medicine, an experiment on the practicability of preventing malaria in intensely malarial localities by easily applied means, it was perhaps unwise to prophesy before the event, especially as to the results of biological experiment; but in this instance he felt so confident about what the results would be, that he would venture to describe the ex- periments about to be instituted. A hut was to be erected in the most malarial part of the Roman Campagna available. The hut was to be furnished with wire gauze door and window screens and other devices, to render It mos quite proof. Two shilled observers and their two servants were to live in this hut from May. till October of this year-that is, during the entire malarial season. Of course, they would be at liberty to go where they liked during the day, but from an hour before sunset to an hour After sunrise they were to be in the hut. Now if these men escaped from fever it would be ab- solute proof that by very simple and inexpon sive means the human body could be protected from the malaria germ. The second experi ment was to be as follows Laboratory, brad- guosquitos (mosquitos raised from the egg in the laboratory and which have had no op. portunity of picking up malaria gerais in the baunts of malaria) were to be fed in Rome on patients in whose blood the benign tertian malaria parasite had been ascertained by the microscope to be present. These mosquitos were to be transported to London, fed on vegetable juices till the malaria germs had arrived at the venom gland. The insects were then to be liberated in a small mosquito house in which One of more Englishmen who had never left this country were to sleep, it was expected that in about ten days after this these English men would develop malarial fever, and the malaria parasite would be found in their blood. There was no danger from this experiment as the type of malaria parasite it was proposed to
