n TEXT to the discovery of that
strange beast. the okapi, the
finding and picturing of spec
linens of the mountain nyala, a
large and magnificent antelope, has
been the most important geological
incident of the last 40 years.
1t seems extraordinary that on
the borders Of country Hike Abys-
sinia, which carries a large native
population and has been fairly well
known to Europeans since the days
of the traveller, Bruce, in the eigh-
teenth century, this splendid and
important African mammal should
have escaped notice; but so it is.
Africa has since the far-off days Of
Pliny been always able to pro-
duce something new. and no doubt
cherishes within her bosom even
yet more surprises for the white
man.
The mountain nyala (Tragela-
plus buXtoni) was first discovered
in 1910 by the English sportsmen,
Messrs. lvor Buxton and c. Alright,
who were shooting in that year in
an unfrequented and little known
piece of country, the Sahatu or
Shabutu mountains, in northwest
Gallaland, to the northeast of a
lake marked on the maps as quay
or ZWei. Gallaland. inhabited by a
race OF hardy and sporting natives.

inches at the Withers and ap-
proaches the height of the kudu,
which stands at the shoulder close
on ) feet. Neither does its coat,
although longish in texture. attain
the flowing proportions of that of
an old male nyala. In the latter
animal the color of the ram is
dark grayish brown and sparsely
marked with faint white stripes.
The true nyala ram carries also a
notable fringe of long hair on the
throat, breast and under parts. as
well as a crest of dark hair along
the neck and of white hair along
the spine from the shoulders to
the tail. The lower parts of the
legs are a bright tan, and some
tan is also to be seen upon the
face. There is a strong similarity
between the horns of the mountain
and the true nyala, but those of the
former are longer, heavier, and
wider in the sweep.
The longest recorded horns Of the
true nyala measure 311-2 inches
over the curve and 26 inches in a
straight line, while the biggest pair
OF the mountain nyala yet known
attain as much as 80 inches over
the curve and 30 IL inches straight
measurement. The widest known
pair of the true nyala are 171-2
inches from tip to tip. while the
first two known pairs of the noun
tam nyala measure respectively %
inches and 81 inches.

NNE of the most remarkable
" additions to the attractions
of the stage within year or
two has been the introduction Of
new and beautiful forms of dane
ing, which have surprised every
body by tneir power of dramatic
expression
Life on this globe would be a
very dreary affair If it's inhabitants
were not able to express to one an
other their thoughts and feelings.
First comes spoken language, then
written and printed language and,
after these. movements of the body
and limbs and Of the facial muscles,
which are frequently the most ex-
pressive of ali.
But the art of telling thoughts
and revealing emotions without
speech has probably deteriorated
since the earlier stages of human
history. A study Of mankind indi-
Gates that their first means of eX-
preston was mainly a language of
signs. Dancing was a form of WISH
bile language from the beginning.
The dancer preceded the orator in
stirring the emotions of the multi
tude.'
From the Same Source.
Man shared this instructive art
with the other animals He got it
from the same source. A company
of emperor penguins gravely NOV
ing in unison, bowling to one an
other with stately courtesy and
taking their steps with rhythmic
regularity reveal the origin of
dancing. We can not read the
thoughts of the penguins, but we
can see plainly that their perform
ance has for them the same kind
of significance that the dances of
savage men possess for those who
take part in or look upon them.
When you were younger you no
doubt read in the book called
Swiss Family Robinson" the ac-
count of q beautiful wild birds
dance on q fallen log with d multi
luUC Vi ulIllllLS DiSt spectators
looking on. That account, although
it appeared in a story of fiction,
was true to nature. Many natural
lists have beheld similar scenes.
They prove that the passion for the
stage is not confined to men and
women. A visit to any barnyard
when the spring sunshine calls out
the fowls will show you a proud
cock ruffling his bronze feathers
and taking dancing steps before his
admiring family. The great OAR
win drew profound lessons from the
behavior of dancing birds There
are even dancing mice.
In man the dancing instinct has
the advantage of being guided and
developed by a superior degree OF
intelligence. But it's profound orr
gin in the deepest impulses OF his
nature is always evident. l have

Something More neautiIul

We may never have again the
astronomical dances Of the Egyp-

emily bodies; the Bacchic dances Of
the Greeks; the dance of Pan,
which was performed in the open
air with Wrcajhs Of oak leaves and

New to Science.
Wandering through these little
known mountains of Sahatu,
Messrs. Buxton and Alright came
across specimens of an antelope
which seemed new and unaccus-
toned to them. They shot several
of them. usually at an altitude OF
something like 5000 feet. and
brought away several good heads
and skin or two.
Upon their arrival in England. it
was at once seen that the ante
lopes thus secured were new to
science. At first they were be-
lieved to be a form of kudu. but
subsequent investigation resulted
in new species being ranked with
the nyala, large and magnificent

LONG SUFFERING TYRANTS

If men are tyrants, as some claim,
they arc assuredly long suffering tyrants,
but In modern England. a good example
Of the female tyrant is Mrs. Pankhurst.
That abe In no longer sane is obvious
from her recent counsels of violence, to
her daughters and q number of militant
suffragettes. This woman Rlories in a
recent bomb outrage, by which the
suffragettes destroyed house supposed
TO belonR to Mr.. Llyod George. Then,
too, Miss Christabel Pankhurst- from
the safe distance Of Paris-is most
sanguinary. She wants to see the streets
of London running red with blood. The
atmosphere of Paris, scene Of the French
revolution, has evidently eolored the
imagination of Christabel, called by her
mother that bright spirit. If this
female Christabel were to be taken as a
type Of modern womanhocd. we might
psrsphrase the poet and say
o woman, in your hours of ease.
Uncertain, coy and hard to please,
But when she contemplates the men,
A fierce avengipg angel then.
1t must strike the reader, that however
these ladies" may abuse the man-made
laws. they count at the present time on
the chivalry Of men. The English
authorities have been too gentle. Such
wicked demonstrations by these mill
tant suffregettes shows their absolute
unfitneas to exercise the franchise; and
places in the dim future the day when
women of intelligence aud grasp Of pub
lilo affairs would really make valuable
adjunct to tho ELECTORAL body. Truly if
men are tyrants, they are assuredly
long suffering tyrants.
