" The Missing Link

hear (says London correspondent,
that Prof. Huxley, and Mr.. Stanley, the
African explorer, have been settling
for themselves the much-vexed question
of the missing link" the details will
no doubt be furnished in Mr.. Stanley
book, which is expected to appear early
next month. Meanwhile the following
installment may interest your readers:
"On one occasion the travellers observed
that the street of village through
which his route lay was ornamented
with rows of peculiar looking skulls.
He was told that the quondam owners
of the skulls had been used for MAMA
(food) and that the race lived in the for
ests of the country. The villagers also
called the wood jewellers 'Soko.' Mr..
Stanley, it seems, had not the opportu-
nifty to procure live specimen, but pro-
cured Soko' skull and skin. The
skull he lately forwarded to Prof. Hux-
ley, who appears to have decided on
ranking it with the human skull. The
skin, however, is declared to be that of
monkey. The 'Soko may turn cut To
be only monkey, but it seems clear that
there is more of the man about him than
there was IN the famous joe the chin
panzee, whom the late Mr. Monteiro in
troduced into England, and who died
not long ago at TIE Too"
