BESIDES the awful horrors of Belgian administration of the Kongo Free State, our (Baptist) missionaries have to contend with the terrible devastation of the sleeping sickness. From the Kongo the dread disease spread over to the Uganda country. From the first outbreak, two years ago, until now, over 68,000 persons have died in Uganda alone. The British authorities have used every effort to check the disease, but all in vain. A special commission, headed by Colonel Bruce, decided that the sleeping sickness is caused by the bite of a fly called "kivu." But no antidote to the fly's bite has been discovered, and a commission is now working over that problem. In the meanwhile, efforts are being made to stop its progress by some means. Segregation is impossible, and would not succeed, because the kivu fly could not be segregated. The English Church Missionary Society also finds itself greatly afflicted by the calamity.—Frank S. Dobbins, Baptist.
