Search for the SO-CaIIed "AXissinr

German Scientist.

Prof Ernst Hackel, the great Ger

Jena, is going to make once more the
long tourney to the Celebes and Java.
There he will spend next winter study
ing the fossils of apes that became ex-
tinct thousands of years ago. He hopes
to be able to show that this ape is the
famous missing link" in nature be-
tween monkeys and human beings.
Ever since Darwin wrote 1.-The Descent

terested in tracing every step in the
order of creation of animal life from
the sponge to man. There has always
been a gap between the highest order

DOGS FAITHFUL GUARD.
Forgotten by Master, Animal Re-
mains FOrty-Eight Hours
on Watch,

For two Jays John Arondel, farm
er living near Manchester, st. Louis
county, Mo-, had been searching for
his Newfoundland dog. On Wednes-
day Arondel drove into Manchester,
accompanied by the dog. He had a
number of packages. These he laid
beside the door of an office which he
entered to transact some business.
After remaining there some 30 min
utes he departed, forgetting the dog
and the packages.
When he arrived at his home Mrs,
Arondel inquired what had become
of Prince. The bewildered man could
not remember, but, jumping into his
buggy, started on a search for the
animal. Every place in the county he
could think of, except Manchester, was
visited that evening and next day, but
no trace of the dog could be found.
The next day Mr.. Arondel drove to
Manchester, and there found the
faithful animal. lying on the sidewalk
where he had left him, with his nose
resting on the packages he had been
told to watch. The dog was SO weak
that he could not rise to his feet. He
had been there over As hours, never
leaving his trust, even for a drink of
water. The dog and packages were
lifted into the buggy and Arondel
drove rapidly home.

petrified remains of it have been found
in the East Indies.
This is long journey for an old ma
to take, and it may end the life of the
German naturalist, who is near 70 years
of age; but men of science, says the
Little Chronicle, are always ready to
face hardships and dangers in their
search for truth. Only few years ago
Mr.. Walter Savage Lander penetrated
the land of the Grand Llama on the
table.and of Thibet only to be tortured
and nearly blinded by the inhabitants.
Mr.. r. L. Garner, the naturalist, who
claims to have discovered that monkeys
have language, once lived in a steel
cage in the heart of West Africa for
three months in order to study the
gorilla in its kingdom. In those wild
so,itudes this giant ape is sole mon
arch, and no other animal disputes his
right to rule.
Mr.. Garner says that the call OF
gorilla family chief can undoubtedly
L
roar or a howl, but more like terrific
human yell, prolonged into a scream.
He never found out whether this call
was intended to brighten an intruder
or to collect his family for migration.
1t was always sounded between two
and four in the morning, and if the
animal happened to be close to his cage
it made his blood run cold.
Gorillas walk on all tours and have
not ferocious look. They are good
climbers, but spend most of the time
On the ground. The chimpanzees, on
the other hand, live mostly in trees. |
They climb very much like the native
negroes in the bush, using both hands
md feet. The gorilla is not able to
stand straight on his hind legs, since
he knees turn outward, but he sits on
/ log or on the ground like a human be-
ng-often on one foot. In captivity
e drinks from a cup like a man, while
he chimpanzee puts his mouth in the
