dlstinguishable from its South African

ca Is well aware how, even at consider
able distances. the striking m0ttlings OF

In other characteristics. such as shape

seems to differ little from the old: but
the extraordinary difference IN mark
ing and distribution Of colorlng are at
all events sufficient TO warrant the es-
tabllshment by biologists Of q new va

Major Wood and his party seem to
have sighted at least seven different
species of this new giraffe; but, until
further skins and a complete skeleton
are brought home. the authorities OF

A London letter In the New York
Tress tells a sensational story about
tine late Prince Imperial Of France,
and his alleged marriage to an English
goyerness before he lost his life in
Africa.
In French country village, confined
in an institution which is half aims
house and half school, there IS to-day
youth who Is known as Louis n. Moore.
Some unknown person pays $50 a year
for his board, clothes, and schooling.
The boy wears garments so coarse and
hideous that they resemble prison
clothes, but his features are those Of
the first Napoleon and the Prince Inn
perial combined. A few people in En-
gland and France do not hesitate to
say that this half-starved. half-clad
young man is the son Of the Prince I'M
perial by Miss Charlotte Watkins. Aft
er his birth the Empress Eugene
treated her son so badly that he went
TO Africa, where he was butchered by
the Zulus. NJ Rouher. a confidential
agent Of the Empress. then convinced
Miss Watkins that her marriage was
not legal. and induced her to marry a
man named Moore, who was doubtless
paid for the part he played in the mat
ter.
The young Louis Is now old enough
TO go out into the world and earn his
own living He Is kept In ignorance Of
his supposed illustrious parentage. and
his education has been confined to the
commonest branches, as the unknown
persons who caused him to be locked
up In his prison school propose to have
him trained up IN some mechanical
calling. His detention. however. gives
rise TO the belief that his custodians
have found out that he is the fifth Ma
pOleon. and it Is thought that they in
tend to hold him and secretly give him
instruction that win flt him for the
highest station. and then bring him to
the front when the next Bonapartist
movement is started.
It Is a very interesting story. but Eu-
genie has recently dec red that there
is not a word Of truth In 1t.
Another startling theory IA advanced
in a recent book by Count d'Herrison.
who maintains that the Prince Impe-
rial was either foully murdered IN AZ
rica or kept from returning to Europe
for unknown reasons.

An Italian Suggests that Latin Be
Used ia All Countries.

An Italian Suggests that Latin Be
Used ia All Countries.
Decidedly the question Of a universal
language Of medicine IS IN the air,
During the last few months, says the
British Medical journal. we have had
occasion to refer to several proposals
Of the kind Now comes another. this
time from Italy Dr. +. Vital Of Bari,
has addressed a long letter TO the Ital-
ian Minister Of Public Instruction. Or.
Baecelli. inviting him as President Of
the international Medical Congress TO
propose to the organizing committee
that Latin be recognized as one Of the
official languages at the next lAiOsc0w)
congress. and as the sole official Ian
guage at al future congresses, begin
ming with the fourth from the one held
this year in Rome DR.. Nltalls argu-
ment IS briefly that. while an medical
men have some smattering Of Latin,
comparatively few know any modern
language but their own Very few un-
derstand all the languages used at con-
crosses. which hence serve TO give an
idea Of the tower OF Babel. as far as
confusion Of tongues is concerned.
However bad may be the Latin spoken
Il win always, Dr. Vital maintains
be more intelhgible than any modern
language 10 the largest number, aud
that. after all. Is the main point. For
any one really in earnest in the matter
there need be no difficulty II acquiring
sufficient fuency in Latin for the pur-
pose in view.
Or. Baecelli has sent diplomatic re-
ply TO Dr. vitalrs communication, IN
which he promises 10 give the subject
proper consideration, etc There, 50
far as we know. the matter rests and
there. we Imagine, it Is likely TO rest.
There would unquestionably be many
advantages in the revival 0f Latin as
the lingua franca Of science, nor does
the scheme involve any insuperable
difficulties. In an interesting article
Ia Temple Bar for August Il Is stated
that the celebrated Or. BOzzl Granville,
when he wished TO enter the English
navy. had some difficulty about his ex-
animation at HasIer. as mono Of the
medical stan spoke any European lam
guage but his own. AT the suggestion
Of the surgeon Of the Raven. whose
communications with his assistant had
been carried on In Latin. that language
was employed: the Italian doctor
passed triumphantly.
Dr. Vital does not refer TO one prac-
teal difficulty, namely. the diversity Of
pronunciation used IN different coun-
tries. There is a story which may well
be true Of a British ecclesiastic who
made a speech IN Latin TO the Pope, to
which the Holy Father excused him
self from replying on the plea that be
did not understand English A Span
iard's Latin is absolutely unlntelligible
to the uninitiated. and Frenchman Is
not easy TO follow when he quotes Vir
