Early Umbrellas.

Among the Greeks ana Romans UNI
brellas were carried solely by women,
and 1t was regarded as effeminacy for
man to carry one.
The use of umbrellas became very
general in Italy and France in the Six
teenth century.
Early in the Eighteenth century 1t
was the practice to keep umbrellas In
the coffee houses as a protection to
guests caught in an unexpected
shower.
AT length there arose a. man who
fiouted public ridicule and became Il
devotee to the umbrella. He was
Jonas Hanway, traveller. He had
an extraordinary big and stout one
made for his own use. For 80 years
Hanway and his umbrella were a IA
miliar figure along the Strand, and
many shot of ridicule was fired at
him. He died in 1856, but lived long
enough to see his example commonly
followed.

Curious Irish Vault.

In a quiet back street of Dublin is
the Church of st. Michan's, and in its
vaults may be seen one Of the strang-
est sights Of the country. There lie
the bodies of people buried centuries
ago. which, owing to some curious
preventative properties Of the air or
soil Of that particular place, never de-
cay. Their skins tan" into flexible
chamois-like leather. The limbs can
be moved about with ease. the finger
nails are perfect, and in some cases
the features are fairly distinct This
is especially the case with the body
of an infant. buried in 1898. There
is in another vault body said to be
that of a Crusader, and in another one
said to be that of a brother Of King
O'Toole. One very gruesome sight is
that of the headless bodies of two
unfortunates who we're beheaded dur
ing the famous rebellion of '9S.

touch with the scientific doings of their
colleagues.
Since the gorilla more nearly resembles
man than any other Of the apes it is Of
especial Importance to be able to breed
gorillas and, If possible, tame them to
make them useful to mankind. It has
been the sorrow of scientists that they
have been able to learn so little about
these giant wild men of the jungle. But
what has been learned is of intense
interest.
The German scientist, Edward
Ruchenow, made the following observa-
tions about the gorilla's home life:
"The sleeping places of the members
of a gorilla company do not lie irreg-
ularly near each other, but we find them
joined in groups of two, three or four,
which lets us clearly recognize that within
the herd there exists division according
to families. The nests of a family lie
close to each other and are from eight to
fifteen meters away from the neighboring
group, so that the various groups seemed
closed off from each other by the thick
riot of plants, like various dwellings.
"From the size of the nests we see that
always only two of them belong to adult
animals; if there are more nests present,
these are always smaller and therefore
belong to the half-grown young. From
this observation we get the noteworthy
fact that the gorilla lives in rnonogamy.
81 was successful in the hunt to cap
ture an animal only few days old. 1t
weighed only 2kg. (4ls pounds) there
fore considerably less than newly born
human child, while an old gorilla con-
siderably exceeds full grown man in
weight. The whole body of the little
gorilla was sparsely covered with hair, so
that It appeared almost naked; only on
the crown of its head there arose straight
up tuft of long brown hairs. This man
ner of hair growth gave the little ape
particularly human appearance.
"When one saw the little being which
hourished beautifully at the breast of
negro nurse, in its helplessness, one had
to become convinced that the gorilla
nursling needs the greatest care and at
tention on the part Of its mother"
And the famous pioneer explorer Of the

ly that not only Is the blood of the anthro-
poid apes nearest to the blood of humans,
but their glands are identical. .What
interested me sufficiently in this was
the fact that these experiments in
dicated new resources to maintain the
beauty and youthfulness of women. The
masculine element. concerns me only in
cidentally In fact, the operations of
Steinach, Lichtenstern and voronoff~ are
applicable only to men. Lichenstern
grated human glands on men,. voronoff
grated monkey glands on men. Stein
ach's original operation did not consist
of grating but was of another character.
"The task that my associates and felt
was most urgent was to develop further
the knowledge of glandular action ac-
quired by these men, to the point where
it could also become valuable to women.
For many years have held the theory
that no external applications could nour-
ish the tissues to the extent that the blood
does. Indeed, it was the astonishing re-
suits of quickened circulation that first
made me understand that the blood act
ually must bring something to those tis-
sues which nothing else contained and
when speculation was rife concerning the
anatomically rejuvenating powers of the
hormones in the blood, felt certain that
had reached the starting point for the
solution of many difficult beauty pro-
blem.

"The apes from whom the glands will
be taken will not be destroyed, as they
are expected to furnish some very in
teresting scientific data. It has already
been proved that after certain glands
have been removed from the ape, it ages
and becomes decrepit, but further in
vestigations may bring to light among
other effects that the secretions of the
endocrine activity give the clearness and
normal humidity of the skin Cor the re-
verse; hairiness of the face, and vulner-
ability of the skin to disease. The hair

Already there is an established farm

TOR many centuries the ape has
peered through the tree-tops on the
- edge of the jungle and watched with
much curiosity the movements of the
African natives as they busted themselves
about the affairs of their primitive life.
And mankind has observed and studied
the simple habits of life of his nearest
relative in the jungle, but without being
able to come to any friendly relations or
make any practical use of the anthropoid
apes.
At last science has turned its attention
to the monkeys and has found them USE
full. First, in general experimentation
with drugs, and, later, in testing various
serums and anti-toxins-and now, at last,
of greater Importance than all else, is the
d, recent discovery that some of the glands
Of the apes can be transplanted into man
with extremely valuable results.
A few years ago monkeys were plenti-
full enough at very low prices. But of
late the laboratory supply of monkeys has
dwindled and the prices have increased.
And now, science needs to help itself to
certain parts of the anatomy of the great
gorillas and is utterly unable to supply
itself.
'~: Science must have an ever increasing
supply of live monkeys of all kinds from
the smallest to the giant gorillas. The
only practical way to secure such a sup
: ply is to establish breeding farms for apes,
and this is what the scientists of the Pas
teur- Institute, in Paris, have decided to
"",Dr. Wibert, of the Pasteur staff, with
group of assistants, has embarked on a
mission to West Africa to organize vast
monkey farm. Experience in trying to
breed monkeys in captivity in other eli
mates than their native climate has proved
disastrous. The monkey is peculiarly sus-
" 'cgptible to germs of all kinds, and readily
catches cold which runs into bronchitis or
pneumonia or quick consumption. 1t is
" for this reason that the Pasteur scientists
will undertake to breed their monkeys in
the native jungle, where the climate and
the food are exactly what the monkeys
Have been accustomed to.
'o' DR.. Wibert, with several other scien-
fists, will remain on the ground in charge
of the monkey farm. A laboratory will
be established in the jungle and the pecu-
.liarities of life and breeding Of the mon
keys will be studied.

infant gorillas in the hope that by getting
the huge and powerful creatures in their
early babyhood they may become accus-
toned to the presence Of human beings
