NEW IN THE ANIMAL WORLD
"okapl" Astonlshed Explorers, and
Only a Few Specimens Have
Ever Been Obtai ned.

Some time before 1890. Stanley, the
explorer had word from the pigmy
negroes of a new beast in the impene-
trable depths of the virgin forest
which borders the Senliki river in the
Belgian Congo. The Wambatti natives
described it as species of donkey
and called 1t "Atti." From their fur
Their description, 1t seemed to be a
hOOfed animal of considerable size,
which lived upon leaves. In 1899 Sir
Harry Johnston himself saw the pig
mics. who fully confirmed what Stan
ley had already told him. but added
that the strange beast was striped like
a zebra.
In 1901 a Swedish officer, NJ. Karl
Erikson, obtained complete skin and
two skulls. which he sent to Sir Harry
Johnston, who then believed the beast
TO be of the giraffe tribe, previously
found in a fossil state In Greece 1t
was, however, proved conclusyely that
although of the giraffe family it was
not the animal of ancient Greece, but
new beast altogether. It was sub
sequently given the name of "okapi"
No more than a dozen specimens Of
this wonderful beast have been Sc
cured.

the term didn't come into general use

Writes To Beethoven.

A letter addressed to the composer
Beethoven was received In Vienna the
other day from a woman In the prov

heard some of his music and was anx-
ious to place her daughter under his
tuition. The postal authorities deliv-
cred the letter at the house in which
Beethoven lived and where he died
81 years ago. The concierge said no
such man resided there. so the post
