Protection for Apes.

From the London Field.
A scheme is being arranged for the pro-
lection OF the manlike apes in the Ger
man colonies OF equatorial Africa Ii
it proposed in the first place, that the
shooting of these creatures should be
strictly prohibited and steps taken for
their protection. In connection with this
it is proposed to establish in the Cam
eroons n special reserve for the fauna
of the equatorial forest generally. This
reserve would include geological trop-
zeal station. with gardens attached, IN
which attention would be specially d.
rected to the protection and rearing OF
the anthrOpoid apes and other deniZen5
of the forest zone. The scheme would
likewise include the study of the fresh
water fauna of the tropics generally as
we'll as the investigation and cure of
tropical diseases. The establishment of Il
marine geological station in East Africa
and a (perhaps movable) fresh-water sta
ton on the great lakes likewise forms
part OF the project.

well known poet. who. it was said, was
wont to arouse his wife about 1 o'clock
in the morning and eXclaim, Maria, get

upon the poets obedient helpmate would
crawl out of bed and make a note of the
thought-of word.
About an hour later, like as not, a new
inspiration would seize the bard. where
upon he would again arouse his wife. saw

story with admiration, but a merry eyed
American girl remarked: We'll if he'd

feet January |.
WILL INCREASE BUSINESS
Postmaster General Points Out the
Benefits to Trade.
FRANCE NEXT ON LIST
Nothing Pending at Present, But
M. Myer Is Willing-Some
Complaints Answered.

The extension OF the lWO-cent letter
rate of postage to correspondence sent
directly from the United States to Ger
many" said Postmaster General Meyer
yesterday. provides for cheap postal
communication with two countries which
contribute largely perhaps as any in
the way OF emigration to increase the
population of this country. We have a
very large Irish and very large German
element in our population. and it Is only
natural to suppose that these people have
left many friends and relatives behind
them in the old country. 1T means much,
too, in 4 business way, and VIII tend to
increase trade relations with Germany
which are growing greater every day.
The agreement with Germany is prac-
tically complete although the necessary
written documents to and from that coun-
try, now probably en- route. have not as
yet been formally exchanged The new
arrangement takes effect January |, 1902
and applies to correspondence which Is
sent direct by sea between the two coun-
tries, and not to that which Is sent
through an intermediary"
The Postmaster General further said
that nothing was pending at the present
time looking to the extension of the two
cent letter rate to correspondence eN-
changed with other countries, although
he would be glad. if the French govern
ment Should wish ii, to make il also APP

Tolls on Forwarded Letters.
With reference to the alleged complaints
made by Americans travelling in Europe
that since October /. when the twO-cent
letter rate with Great Britain and ireland
went into effect, it costs them 8 cents
when their letters are forwarded from
London to any part Of the continent, the
universal postal union convention de-
fcient postage is chargeable at double
rates. If an American tourist has his
mail sent to him. say, in care Of an adj
dress in Great Britain ii is entitled to go
TO destination at the twO-cent rate. But
il after its delivery in accordance with
its address the person then writes to have
the letter sent to him at some continental
address 1t is a remailing of the letter,
and the postal union rate of , cents for
the first ounce and 3 cents for each adj
ditional ounce is chargeable. In cases
OF that kind 1t seems that the countries
TO which letters have been thus forwarded
and which have the right to rate up de-
ticient postage have credited the two-cent
stamp as part payment, and then rated
the remaining deficiency at double rates
for collection from the addressee. For
of Cooks agency in London and subse-
quently forwarded to q new address in
France would be credited by the French
postal authorities with cents prepay
ment. As the postal rate with France is
the five-cent rate, the deficiency would
be > cents, and as France is entitled to
charge double the amount of the deficien-
cy, the addressee would have to nav G
