Paul du Chailiu.

1t will surprise many Americans to
learn that Paul du Chaillu was born in
New Orleans Gs37) Hply his great
great-grandfather haviag been a
t'renchman. Certainly this country
has reason to be proud of him. His
extensive travels in Africa have been
of incaiculable advantage to natural
history and geography. The gorilla
was his discovery, and there is little
about the men and beasts of these ter
rible African jnngles that he has not
told us. Ashango Land, Explorations
in Equatorial Africa, Stories of the
Gorilla Country, Wild Life under
the EquAtor, Lost in n Jungle, My APP
ingi Kingdom, and The Country of
Dwarfs, form library of unrivalled
tropical literature.
Having wearied of scorching sands
and nerve-splitting adventure, Mr.. du
Chaillu went to Scandinavia and wrote
The Land of the Midnight Sun and The
Viking Age. The latter work, which
in itself would be monument to his
memory, is the result of nine years of
labor and research. In it he establish
ed fact which revolutionizes many
theories of hered ty, namely that
britain was originally settled by Scan
dinavians, not by the Ang.es and
Saxons. When his material was ac-
cumulated, he worked with unabated
ardor sixteen hours day, until his
book was completed. His secretaries
could not stand it, but the tremendous
applicable II made no inroads upon q
constitution toughencd BY African
hardships and Northern SHOWS.
In temperament, Mr.. du Chaillu is a
re narkable mixture of the English,
French, and German. In appearance
he is not striking; his figure is small
and rather STOPPING, and his most char
acteristic feature, his mouth, is hidden
by moustache. He is brilliant and
enthusiastic in conversation, however,
and has all the fire of youth in spite
Of his fifty-two years. The English
resent his discoveries in regard to their
origin. They are conservative race
and not given to making over their
traditions; but Mr.. du Chaillu has
faith that America will appreciate the
result of his toll.

Winter in Switzerland.

Who would dream of rational be.
ings, except under dire compulsion,
going to spend the winter at place
twice as high above the sea-level as the
summit of Helvellyny writes corres-
pondent. Yet here at st. Moritz, six
thousand feet above the sea, in one
hotel are p25 ladies and gentlemen,
mostly English; but some from the
other side of the Atlantic, and several
from stnhy Naples itself. Switzer-
land, long the playground, is now be-
coming, in its upland valleys, the hos
pital and conyalescent home of tho
world.
For six weeks we have had perfect
weather-skies as blue as those of
Italy, and lakes whose deep indigo
makes even the sky look pale-hot

sonally found broad-brimmed Js-

fortnight we had the most lovely skat-

conditions-combining the charm of
an Italian summer with the delights of
a Canadian winter.
The most suitable costume in which
to skate in this glorious sunshine is
literally your shirt sleeves. But the
characteristic sport is not skating, but
tobogganning. Every child in Switzer-
land has his or her little sledge and
goes fnerrily down the snow-covered
hill-sides and steep streets and lanes.
This is unsophisticated tobogganning,
but art steps in, and down the steep
hillside prepares path 10 ft. wide
where the snow is carefully beaten
dowa and smoothed, and then watered
so as to make road of ice, along
which the toboggans and their riders
rush at the speed of an express train.
The ills Of life remain, its perple&i.
ties still perplex; but you feel an ex-
iltant joy in being alive, akin to the
almost fierce delight of rushing through
the air on a toboggan at nearly mile
minute. The influenza has found its
way up to these Alpine solitudes, but
we are havirg it mildly. and some of
us do not intend to have it at all. !
cannot close this letter without alluding
to the effect of this glorious out-of-
doors life upon the nerves. ] am tirm-

A Romantic Story.


1.-THE Coliseum: Shadow in the
moo light: A narrow escape" The
line is not borrowed from a work of
fiction, admirably adapted though it be
for the pages of a thrilling novel. 1t
heads the sober narrative of midnight
adventure which, says a writer in the
Norwich (England) Argus, recently
befell a \ Norwich solicitor, who found
himse in Rome under peculiar cir
cumstances.
The whole story is a romantic one.
In November lady visiting Yarmouth
entrusted the lawyer wi h a delicate
and somewhat dangerous mission.
He was to go to Rome and endeavor
to restore wayward daughter to the
bosom of her family. The young lady
is said to be 20 years old and the in
heritor of u fortune, and she had been
sent to French convent near the
Eternal City to finish her education in
music and Italian. The pupil was to
have returned home at the expiration
of eight months, but ut the end of that
period she declined to leave the con-
vent. Entreaties, promises and threats
had alike failed to shake her resolution {.
When the Norwich solicitor undertook
the case, hope had almost been aban-
doned by the parents.
But the lawyer saw no reason to de-
spair, and, armed with power of
attorney and letter of introduction
from the Premier to Lord Dufferin,
tho British Ambassador at Rome, he
lost no time in setting out for the
South. AT the end of his journey he
found the object of it as unyielding
and defiant as ever, and the conscious
ness that he was being "shadowed"
wherever he went--by whom and for
what purpose was not exactly gathered
did not conduce to his comfort of
mind 1t was at this juncturc that the
Engishman came near being "knifed'
in The Coliseum, whittier he had in
cautiously gone to mediate by moon
light. After that the authorities gave
him protection. But the girl still re-
fused to leave the convent.
Then it was that the lawyer sought
the Intervention of the Vicar-General
of the Roman Church, and, finally,
that of the Pope himself. We are told
that his Holiness had to be approached
on the knees. but for all that the advo-
cate got no red. ess from the Sover-
cign Pontiff, who professed his inabil-
ity to assist him in the matter. AT
this stage the lawyer grew desperate,
aud, rs last resort, took the case be-
fore the Civil Tribunal, where, curl
ously enough, he caused to be cited
the order of Lord Chief Justice Cole
ridge on DIR. Barnardo TO deliver up u
lad to his parents. Whether or not
that decision had any weight with the
Italian Courts doea not sppskF, Thc
