The Mad Mullah of Somaliland
The Mad Mullah Mohammed Abdileh, known as the Mullah, rose from humble origins to dominate Somaliland tribes. He studied occult arts and Islam, undertaken multiple pilgrimages to Mecca to boost holiness, then proclaimed himself the living Koran and Mahdi, burning rival Korans and using threats to spark the Somaliland rebellion. He wields tribal influence and commands fear, aided by a loyal lieutenant and foreign support.

Life From Chemicals Claim by Indiana Doctor Dr Littlefield
Special to the Indianapolis Journal Alexandria Indiana August 1 Dr Cr W Littlefield claims to have created life from salt sterilized water alcohol and ammonia after years of study. He describes a simple apparatus and a sequence of observations showing crystal formation and germinal spots within a salt solution, leading to a primitive life form with feeding protrusions. The work has drawn praise and scrutiny from the Pasteur Institute and critics alike as he pursues broader questions on life's origin.
