WAS IT SEOOND SIGHT ?

The Battle of Omdurman Fore- told by a Mohammedan

| Prophet,

Av extraordinary prediction of the rise and fall of Mabdiem in the Soudan, and the conquest andruleof Egypt, the Soudan and Abyssinia by the British, is just now attracting the attention ofthe curious in such matters in Europe.

The prophecies were recordedin the ‘Memoirs of aSoudanese Soldier’ publish- ed inthe ‘Cornhill Magazine’ for 1896. The soldier, Ali Effendi Gifoon, is an officer in a Soudanese regiment, known to Englishmen as ‘a man of great b-avery and high character” The extract from the memoirs recording the prophecies ig follows :—

‘Iremember the great Sayid Hassan el Morghani of Kassalautiering prophecies which were generally ridiculed then, bat which are rapidly being justified as events go on. Sayid Hassan wasthe father of Sayid Alae) Morghani, who was at Suak- im, and who is now 80 greatly respected as the representative of this powerful section of Moslems. Sayid Hassan was undoubt- edly possessed of second sight, avd I im- plicitly believe him to have been a Ragil Kashif—that is,a man whocould peue trate the mysteries ofthe future, Wild and improbable as his prophecies must have appeared to most of those who heard them a: Kassala, yet his every utterance was received with profound respect, and gradually we saw one after another of his statements borne out by facts. The burden of Morghani’s prophecies was that evil times were instore forthe Soudan He warned ueall, “E) marah illi towlid ma takhodhash” (Take not unto thyself a wife who will bear thee children), fora crisis ie looming Over the near future of the Soudan, when those who wish to support the Dowlah, or government, must fly, and they will be lucky if they escape with theirlives. Kassala would be laid waste four times, and oo the fourth or Inst occasion thecity would begin to live once more. Mabomed Noor, who was Emir of Kaseala at that time, openly ridiculed these prophecies, upon which the Morg bani replied that all he had foretold would undoubtedly come to pasa, butthat as Mahomed Noor bad but a very short time to live and would diea violent death, be would not bave an _ opportu- nity of seing it himself. Being pressed to eay upon what he based his prophecies re- garding the Emir’s death, he said that hia eod was near, and that Mahoomed Noor and his eon would shortly be killed by the Abyseinians on the same day, The flame of fltna, or insurrection, would not first ap- pear io the Soudan, but the fire would be kindled in Egypt itself. Then the whole Soudan woald rise, and the people would not be appeased until the Jand had been deluged in blood and entire tribes had dis-~ appeared off the face of ihe fearth. The work ot re-conquest and re-estadlishment of order would fall upoo the Ingleez, who, after suppressing the revolt in Egypt, aud gradually having arranged the attairs of that country, would finally occnpy the Soudan, and would rule the Turk and the Soudanere tovether for a period of five years. ‘The idea of the Turk being ruled by apy One was received with special io- credulity; and on bis being pressed to ex- plain who and what these mighty Ingle-z were, he said they were people from the north, tall of stature, and of white com- plexion. The English regeneration would placethe Soudan upon a better footing than it had ever been on betore., and he used to say that the laud at Kassala bes tween E] Khatmieh ani Gebel-um-Karam would ultimately be sold for a guinea a pace. The struggle for the final supr-m-~ acy would take place on the great plain of Kerrere, to the north of Omdurman, and, pointing to the desert out- tide Kaseala, which is strewn with large white stones, he said: “After this battle has been fought the plains of El-Kerrere will be etrewn with buman skulls as th.ckly as it is now couered with stones...’ When ihe Soudan had beeu thoroughly subdued, the English occupation would be extended to Abyssinia. Then there would no longer be diseension between the people ofthat country and tie Egyptians, who would intermarry freely, and would not allow thedifference in their religion tc remain @ barrier in them,”

A correspondent of the ‘Spectat. r, who sende the extracts, remarks: ‘] .ct- dentally I should fike to point out the clore similarity between the prophetic des- cription of Syid Hassan regarding the end of the fightand the actual words of the newspaper correspondent who reported the scene : “The field white with jibbah-clad corpee like a meadow dotted with snow drifts.” This is one of the clearest and most unmistakable accuunts of second sight or prevision with which I am ac- quainted.”

The decisive battle certainly took place on the great plainof Kerrere, and doubt- less the thickly strewn skulls of the fifteen toousand slain there will mark it for many and many a long. year. :

Cornstaeks are likely to come into use |

for a new purpose. It is now believed that the shive or outside of the cornstalk can be made into a finely surfaced paper. A company has tLe*n organized at Rockford, [li., for this purpose, and the manufacture of paper from this portion of the cornstalk already begun. In addition to paper a splendid cardboard can be made, and alsoa superior line of fancy products, at a com- paratively low cost.

A connection between the vet of the buman ear and the pitch of the voice in singing has been pointed out by Dr. Alex Wallace, of Colcbester, England. Amue~ ing himeelf by forecasting how vocalista he had never heard would sing, he has found that when the earis set vertically on the cheek a deep-toued voice may be expected,and that a tenor Or sopramo voice accompanies a #lanting downward and forward of the ear. He is unable to offer any anatomical explanation.
