INTRODUCED THE GORILLA.
Readers the World over Indebted &c,
This to the Late Explores,
Paul du ChnilIu.

The late Paul du Chaillu, the ex-
plorer, was singularly observant, viva
eious and sunny-tempered His death
Is reported to have followed upon over
exertion at festival in Russia, where
he taxed his strength too far in dane
ing with the peasants, says Youths
Companion.
Mr.. du Chaillu had many claims upon
the gratitude Of the scientific world,
and many more upon that OF the youth
full readers of his tales OF African adj
venture. To them he was preemi-
nently the man who made US acquaint-
ed with the gorilla.
Everybody knows about gorillas now.
The lad who longs to become mighty
hunter dreams Of them along with
lions and elephants. Their pictured
h1deousness is familiar in books Of
natural history; their habit Of advanc-
Ing upon their foes roaring and beat
Ing upon their hairy chests with re-
verberation like drum appeals to the
dullest Imagination. 1t even replaces
satisfactorily that other reported habit
SO long believed and so reluctantly re-
hpQuished to the realm of myth, Of
hiding in treetops till some unwary ma
tive passed beneath, then lowering
dreadful hind leg, clutching him round
the neck with finger-like toes, and
dragging him up to be devoured. Co
rillas are not carnivorous-but they
are none the less ferocious on that ac-
count. Few beasts have an uglier dis
position.
His first account of the gorilla in it's
native haunts was received by scien-
fists and the public alike with incre-
dui1ty. Du Chaillu's book was ridi-
culed; his lectures were Unattended,
and even his stuffed gorillas were not
accepted as having been once real and
living. OF one of his early appear
ances in Boston he said, whimsically,
to his friend, Mr.. James Jeffrey-Roche:
Il tell you, Jeffrey, they didn't be-
l1eve me much then. l hired a hall on
School street to lecture and show my
trophies; and the people who did not
go to see them said had no real speci-
mems AS fact, l had more gorillas
on the stage than there were people
In the audience"
The undaunted explorer, however,
made no complaint, hurt and indignant
as he was; he simply went back, stud
led more, explored more, brought back
fuller and finer specimens, observations
and photographs. Of course he was
bound to succeed in the end, and his
second return was triumph.
No man was more perfectly fitted
than he to explore many savage tribes,
for his courage, tact, geniality and gen.
uine kindness and consideration made
friends. among the most difficult.

VICTOR HUGO'S HOUSE
The Old Mansion has Been Pre-.
scented to the City of Paris.
Z VIII Be Maintained as q Memorial
to the Great French Author
Filled with Interesting
CurlOs.

Visitors to Paris, especially those OF
literary proclivites, will hereafter find
a new point of special interest in the
mansion Of Victor Hugo. which
through the generosity of the grand
children and near kin of the great
author, has been presented to the city
and will be accessible to the public az
museum, to be maintained as a spe-
cial memorial to the man whose works
have been more popular the world over
than those of almost any other French
writer. Thus VIII France have a me-
mortal of her gifted son and one who
suffered so much in the cause of lib
erty, similar to England's home of
Shakespeare at Stratford-on-Avon, and
to Germany's home of Goethe at Wei
mar. which the poet occupied for 40
years.
The historic Hugo mansion, on the
Place des Vosges, is the one in which
the poet spent some of the most &C.
tive years of his long and splendid
career in the world of letters. 1t is
nearly 20 years since deaths touch
stopped the vigorous brain and busy
nand OF Victor Hugo, yet the condi-
ton of the mansion is much the same
as when he occupied it. In addition
to the furnishings of the house, which
are practically those which were in
use during the life of the poet, there
are many valuable souvenirs of his
work, library of 5000 volumes, and
a collection of the authors drawings
and wood carvings, besides gifts and
personal souvenirs, portraits in paint
ing, and sculpture, and much else OF
an artistic and historic value. There
are also scattered about the spacious
rooms of the mansion many souvenirs
OF Victor Hugo's friends, including
Lamartine. George Sands and the ell
der Dumas, consisting of inkwells.

author died is exactly as it was at the

Victor Hugo had the odd habit of
standing up to his work, a high desk
specially constructed for him making
this possible. Hour after hour he
would stand on his feet before this
oesk and busy himself with his liter
airy work. This desk may be seen in
the new Hugo museum, which Paris is
now able to control and preserve for
the coming generations of book lovers
and literary lights. Victor Hugo lived

age was vigorous and active. 1t was
