IMMENSE POPULAR MAJORITY.
The Entire Public Aroused.

Never in the history of America has any
thing like it been witnessed. OF all its rivals
the genuine Johann Hoff's Malt Extract
leads. 1t has been on the market 40 wears
and is on top to-day. The genuine Johann
Hoff y Malt Extract has been improved with
the advancement of science, and is the bes,
nutrttive-tonic e1rant. In convalescence
for dyspepsia and faulty nutrition, it is
without equal. Seventy-six highest awards
from exhibitions and scientific societies
attest to its superior merit. Nowonder that
numerous limitations, under the name OF
"Hoff" and other labels, seek to profit by
the reputation and worldwide fame of the
genuine article. Beware of them The
genuine must have the signature of johann

fuse all worthless limitations.

DANGEROUS OCCUPATIONS.

Employment.
Ono Of tho curious features OF mod
ern life is the extent to which the most
hazardous trades are overrun by ap-
plicants for work. The electric light
companies never find any difficulty in
obtaining all the linemen they need,
notwithstanding the fact that tho
dangers OF that kind OF business have
been demonstrated times without
number. The men who work in fac
tories where wall paper is made ire
qucntly joke one another over the ira
dition that mans lilo in this trade
is shortened 10 years.

them and whose lungs are said to be.

thing About tho Most Wonderful Ex.
podition That Man Ever Undertook
Giant Apes Deiicd.l

Have you ever heard of Prof. Garner,
tho man whose efforts to prove the ex-
istence Of n language among monkeys
arc attracting the attention Of scicn-
lists? And 1t is only fair to the inde-
fatigable investigator to say that he has
really made some progress towards de-
monstrating tho truth Of his somewhat
startling theory. In the geological de-
partment of the Smithsonian Institu-
tion, at Washington, he separated two
monkeys that were mates, md having
caught in phonograph the words
spoken by the female after the separn-
ton, he took the instrument to dis
tant place, where the male was Gagged,
and having put 1t in operation, he saw,
beyond any reasonable doubt, that the
animal recognized and answered the
calls us they were reproduced.
Prof. Garncr's contemplated cx-
pcdition to gorillaland is exciting pro-
found scientific interest ut Washington.
The expedition will enter tho mouth
of the Gaboon river, just under the
equator, on the west coast of Africa,
and, having secured nn escort of na-
tivcs, will proceed up the stream for a
distance of lI2 miles. At that point
the first of n series Of cataracts and
rapids is reached, and there the party
will discmbark, plunging southwark
into the tropical forests of the gorilla
country. A locality that is particu-
larly infested by these giant apes will
be sought, and there, in the midst of
the bowling equatorial Wilderness, the
professor will set up his cage. He will
occupy 1t alone, at night us well as in
the daytime, being merely connected
by telephone-wirc with the rest Of the
party, who will be located ut dis
tance of half II mile or more.
The cage will be constructed in New
York. 1t is TO be made of aluminium,
for the sake of lightncss, and will be
built In eighteen sections. Thus it can
be carried very easily. All of its joints
will lock automatically when it is set
up. The floor will be OF rubber. Strong
