SPECIMEN Of 0KAP|
At NATIONAL MUSEUM

Anybody who wants to see an okapi

for less than a decade. and there is only
one in this country.
For the benefit OF the non -erudte who

II he met ii on the street il may be
said that ii is the new animal discov-
cred by Sir Harry Johnston while he
was governor OF Uganda. in the African
Kongo region. 1t was thought there WAS
nothing new in the animal line at that
time. but here was an entirely new ami
NAL as big as a horse that had been
overlooked by science.
The discovery created much comment.

who for a long time had been wanting
new animal for table use. The location
OF this specimen is We'll chosen I'm that
connection, for he is right back of Cen
ter market. But IL is to be surmised that
the okapi will never figure much for ta-
Bile use. even when porterhouse is 5
cents a pound. because the supply Of
okapi IL too limited and the price of even
mounted specimens is too high even for
q newport 0lnnef. Wnere expense Is sup
posed to be a minor consideration.
Specimen Came From London.
The specimen of which the museum
is proud was picked up in London.
1t came from Roland Ward. the big
taxidermst there. Just what il cost has
not been. divuIged. but IL cost plenty.
If one wants to become real chummv
with the okapi he must recollect that
it pronounces its name with a decided
accent on the penultimate. and not with
the accent i'm front. where many of the
popuace think it belongs
4 he animal is rather handsome and
decidedly striking to see. II is a sort or
a compromise between a horse. a giraffe
and a zebra. but it really belongs 10 the
giraffe family. 1t has ears almost as
prominent as a mules with little nubby
horns i'm front OF them. Its neck is longer
and il slopes up from the wthers more
than a regulation horse. The body and
hind quarters are decidedly horsc-lkc. and
the front legs and on the back legs half
way up the flank. The body is solid
black except for some faint fc"ks Of
white. but not enough of them Ia con-
stitute q roam.
