The Museum Umlauff, in Hamburg, has
recently acquired one of the most interer-
ing specimens OF natural history that it has
been for many years the good fortune of
any museum TO obtain. Ii is specimen
of the male gorilla, which measured when
killed $50 feet in height, and slightly more
than niue feet in expsnse of arms. This
extraordinary creature, weighing about 800
lbs, was obtained in the forest of the station

American Trade With Africa.
Substance Of Reports From Consuls
at Important Places.

Mr.. Frederick Emory, chief of the bureau
OF foreign commerce of the State Depart
ment, has made public the second chapter
OF "Commercia Relations of the United
Stales," dealing aCith the trade of this coun.
try with Africa. The chapter is made up
OF testimony from tour United States con
Suis stationed at favorable points of obser-
walton at all points of the compass on the
continent. Consul Kidder of Algers says
81 am convinced that q more certain
market for American products adapted to
the wants OF the country does not exist on
this side Of the Atlantic than is offered by
Algeria. The commerce IS controlled by
European houses, and the most improved
farming implements are in increasing de.
mand. The best tools at the fairest prices
can be sold here, regardless of where they
come from. American food products are
sold to some extent through branch houses
in France and are ponular wherever used.
A grocery dealing exclusively in our food
products, with some one to demonstrate
methods OF cooking, would be a great sue
cess. In short, there is hardly an arLicle
OF American growth or manufacture which
would not be appreciated here, if presented
~ 'he proper way. Ine greatest drawback
to trade is the lack of a direct steamship
line.n
Consul Gibbs of Tamatave says:
"American trade in Madagascar is in
creasing. Canned meats, corn, petroleum,
ETC., are arriving in large quaint ties. Twen.

and the gateway to the interior of the con-
tinent. Imports from the United States

uced from the United States in much lar
