SOME MIGHTY APES.
scented to the New York Academy
of Natural Sciences.

The Darwinian theory of the descent
of man may soon be studied at close
range, owing to the generosity of a
prominent Philadelphia, DR.. Thomas
Biddle, who lately returned from Eu-
rope with what is believed to be the
most complete collection of authropOld
apes ever owned by one person. The
specimens, says the New York Tribune,
were obtained from various sources
and prepared by the German taXider-
mist Umlauff. Among them is fine
specimen of that rarely secured ami
NAL, the gorilla. On account Of its i'm
mense strength and ferocity when cor
nered it has been most difficult even to
obtain dead specimen of the gorilla
family, it being necessary to risk life
in order to track it to its lair in the in
terror of Africa. The specimen secured
by DR.. Biddle was shot by a venture
some German. George Zenker. near the
Yaunde Station, Western Africa, a lit
tie to the north of the equator.
The height of this gorilla is a little
over five feet, and the strongest man
would probably be plaything in it's
hands. To some monkeys, despite their
lack of good looks, the expression
''cute" may apply, but it is not possible
to SO describe the gorilla. With his flat
nose, enormous jaws and protruding
teeth, the thick neck and bulging chest.
this ape is far from the human ideal OF
handsome animal.
When he can, the gorilla will run
from a man, and as no one has been
particularly anxious to come to close
quarters with him, it is not possible to
speak with assurance of his mode of
life. 1t is said that he travels for the
most part on all fours, and only rises
on his hind legs to resist attack. 1t is
also said that he builds himself a home
in the trees.
The collection contains three speci-
mems of the chimpanzee One is the
ordinary chimpanzee, another the bald
chimpanzee, and the third a variety
called the Koola Kamba.
The chimpanzees are more intelli-
gent than the gorilla, and have been
trained in captivity to do tricks. Ma
turalists have been long at odds as TO
the number of their species, as we'll as

The Philadelphia scrapple season is

four big scrapple factories of the city
about $4,000 pounds of the delectabie
