It would not, therefore. by any various means, follow that the modern people who share the Aryan languages necessarily derive from a single common ancestor.

HEAVY FLOOD DAMAGE IN JAPAN

END OF THE

We publish today the third and last instalment of letters written by a British offeer on the staff of Sir Robert (after- ward Lord) Napier during the Abyssinian campaign of 1868, They describe the faul ad- rance, the Battle of Maydala and release of the prisoners, the successful storming of the Jart, and the death of Theo darus, the "Mad Emperor."

"Shortly after the first shot the road down from Fala was covered with Theodore's host. Same 4,000 of them came down, mostly on foot, a small percentage, being mounted on good-sized ponies and mules. They came forward at a rapid pace and spread in line and irregular order over a large tract. I saw everything capitally. What a slating they got. The bare idea of these people trying to stand up against our Snelder rifies, with their guns and things which take two ST three minutes to load.",

Theodore says. You have kill- ed half my army, all my best chiefs and fighting men. Now I have none left but women,? The old blackguard was afraid to come down himself but kept up a are on us from above with his guns. He was firing over our heads at 3,000 yards.

"All the while this was enact- Ing on our front, to the left front Colonel Penn's Battery was idle. They were left almost en- tirely to themselves. Sir Robert had just time to send a company of the Pioneers to them. . . The eneiny were advancing in large numbers, Conel Penn says, to within 300 yards of them, when he opened fire and at once they turned, leaving an immense num- ber on the ground.

"The Ploneers had ten men wounded, more than any other regiment; in fact they were rather outnumbered at the first and asked for support I believe. they They were, however, told were big enough to take care of themselves and take care of them seves they did, and with a ven- geance; and of the enemy too.
