WHOLE REGION DEPoPULATED.
Famine Has Killed 22,5oo,ooo People
in Shen ST Province.

Picking, Dec. 16.-The Christian
Herald's commissioner who is investi-
eating the famine in China writes
from Sian Flu, province of Shen ST,
that the autumn crops will furnish
food for few months, but, being the
first successful crops in five years, will
not be sufficient to last until the next
harvest is gathered, and he predicts
repetition of the famine in the com
ing spring. The commissioner esti
mates that the deaths from famine in

80 per cent of the population. He rode
for four days through villages north of
the Welhi river and during this time
saw hardly 200 persons. The whole

n RECENT TDISCOVERY.
Prof. McGee Discusses Sir Harry
Johnston's Find I'm Africa

JOhnstOn's Find I'm Africa.
Prof. w. ], McGee. acting director Of the
bureau of ethnology. in discussing Sir
Harry Johnston's, recent discovery of the
"okapi'' a giraffe-lke animal, in the Sem
lika forest, central Africa and also the
latterS statement as to his having also en-
countered a strange race of "ape-men" in
the same region, said today: -
|. Il regard the discovery ofsthis new form
as one of first Importance. 1t fills out a
hiatus in a group of animals the only lfv-
ing examples of which until Sir Harry 8
discovery of the okapi were the giraffe and
the prong-horn antelope of our western
plains.
new form is discovered 1t is quite reason
able to expect that there are others hid
den away in the same region. From all
accounts the Semlika forest, a region COW
erlng hundreds of square miles of matted
and uninhabited jungle, In which the at
mosphere is like that of Turkish bath
room, and the odor of living and decaying
vegetation so overpowering to prove
more than even the negroes of that coun-
try can stand, has proved haven of ref
uge for many strange forms that have been
whipped out Of the struggle for existence
elsewhere, and who remain to be discov-
ered by the enterpriSing explorer. You
may say for me that the discovery of this
new animal and the region generally are
subjects in which 1 am deeply Interested I
thlnk that the next few years will bring to
llSht many other strange forms in this
same region
AS to Sir Harry Johnston's alleged dis
coVery OF what he or the press have termed
ape-men, L do not care to be quoted. In
TINS L prefer to await further developments
think that the term .ape-men' is a mis-
nomer, and that the people to whom it has
peen applied are more likely to be low
type OF negroes. On, this, however I do
not 1eei at liberty to- speak until sonnet thing
more definite and detailed appears on the
subject
