Forbes' Ulde*
l Mr. Forbes of the London .Ncws, gives
the following account of his ride after the
bat tle of Ulandli, Zululand :'"Many mnen1
tried to dissuade 11; 16y enterprisc was
f'reely d1a. .ollcterized as8 'milnIless. ' EVelyn
Wood was the lIst. numnIn to tirge an31 o)j((
11in, an1d wheln thatI lita1d in avail, he gave
meI a tiilegrain for- his wife. 'Ile iight wias
il just falliing its I rode upI) the sieep rugged
ritek from the langer into lie iisli. I was
riding a( dark cliest nut horse, wliose plick
aid staying power I knew well, and I ieant
to test both. 3My great effort was ( ttra
verse as imuch ground ats possible before it
got (uite dark, for I did not like the inter
Vil of pitchny darkness before the moon
shou'lil rise abtotit eight o'clock. Ho 1 sent
the ehestinit along at best pace. It was 1
gicsonie ride, and I would sooner he sho.
at for two hours t It stretch than t) (0 it
again. Tiere was no road, only a conf u
1sion of wagon tracks, through the long
grass, made by our vehicles in their ad
vance. Every where the bush, ill detached
I clumps some ten feet high, clustered ti.iek
around and among these tracks, I darei't
smoke for fear the staiking of a match
might betray m3e. All that thero was for
ine was to trust to luck, see that tie Ilap of
my revolver caso was open, and keep the
good horse's hend straight. On we went,
down into lie black gullies, where half it
regiiint iiiight have liin hiden3, through
the little patches of tall thorn brake, whose
pr1idCle tore my13 Clot11h ani lacerated Inly
skin, stumbling over [allen trunks, wading
through long rank grass, always with ears
cocked and every sense on its fullest tel -
sion. Several ivres were visible, through
the bush foliage to right and left, doibtless
the night tires of straggling bodies of Zulus.
Behnd me seethed the Geheniia of the
blazing Ulundi nd1( the other kraals fired
that (lay. Their lurid blaze helped nie oil
after darkness fell, which they served to
litigate. But at, length I caint to 1 dend
halt near the region where the two coluns
camped oil their inarch, between the ridge
of Eutodgeneni and the White ULmifaloosi.
'lie ulliltiplicity of tracks confused me. I
had fairly lost my way ; I could dimly sec
close to me the charred relics of the great
Slipane Kratil, and I kiinew 1 must be neitar
at bog, into whlich, if I strayed, ily horse
at least would never emerge. rthere was
no recourse but to halt where I was, and
wait with what patience 1 might, forthe moon
to rise. I dare say site kept her tine, but I
must say I thought her shockingly slow.
At length the great disc showed above the
ridge, and illuminated the batsin below. A f
ter at few cHAS I hit off the s1or, and in) ten
.minutes illore was climbing tine open grassy
slole thtt leads 11) to the Staildilig cap
onl the E"ntongeneni. Here tine elnestniut
was done1, an1d right well lie had don1e; but
Major Upehor, of the 24th, who was in
command, first ordered his men a lot of
ruill each in honor of the good news I had
broighlt, an3d then furnished iie with 3a
fresh horse, and at party to guide m11 oil t lie
deviolis way. Steadily I role on all
through the bitter night under the iouin
light without adventure, s1ve anll occisionil
m5issing and recovery of the road. f had
an escort for two stages, and then went on
alone, I passe-d within ai few mililes of the
spot where some days later the bodies,
pierced with assegai wounds, of poor yotng
Scott Douglass and Uorporal Cotter of the
Lancers were foutid. About four in the
morning the blinding fog came down, aid
then it was a case of groping for the tritl.
Oin tine hill above Fort Marshall the fog was
0 (10n0 that I had to dismount and feel
in the grass for the wagon-ruts leading
down the steep slope to th1e fort. Once
there, dear old Colonel Collingwood glve
me1 some1 tea3 inl tile gray of the miorniing,
113and set 3me upJ wylhh a freshl horse. To'1

Skulls of Murderers.
One of tile mlost cu~riooll ct~OCions1 1in
tihe great Anthropological Mluseum in the0
111 It ParIs exhiibitionl of last year was a collec
tioni of thlirty-six skulls of mnurderers who
have been guillotined ini France. Thtis col
hoction 1has beenl carefully studied by D~r.
4 IBournler, who has published the result of1
.his stuldies In thte last numl~ber of Broca's
A BRevue d'Athiopologie. The umost stink
[I lng resuilt of Is observations Is the very
large cubic capacity of thleso crania. In
fact, tile average volume of the thirty-six
skulls, measured with shlot by Biroca's
methlod, Is as uch as 1,547,91 cubIc cen
Vt imeters. Eliminating, however, one of
the sus,*hicht is of unusuali size (2,876
cublc centimeter.) andt Is obviously abnor
centimeters. But even thuis figure Is con
lqsiderably hliher thanl thle average of aniy
I ordlinary series of modernt crania. In order
to find skulls of equal capacity it Is neces
* sary to go back to prehistoric thneils; thus
the capacity of 8olutre skulls Is 1 515, and
that of the type from the cave of E'IIommoe
Mort is 1,906.,5 cubIc centimeters, Tile do.
velopment eof tihe murderer's skull is not in
