is species known as the brindled

abundant in East-central Africa.
Gnus have disproportionately
large heads which give them a gro
tesque appearance. They have
named necks and distinctive tufts
of hair on their faces. The bulls
stand about four feet tall at the
shoulders. The general color of the
white-tailed species is a deep brown.
Their horns are formidable weapons
and under certain conditions the
animals are dangerous.

Medical G-Man Catches Up with
Outlaw LeprOsy.
NEW YORK. ~ Sirnultane-
l = ously, DR.. Earl B. McKin-
ley announced the isolation of
the leprosy germ and Emil Lud-
wig published his biography of
the Nile, where the germ first
was mentioned in craven head
lines 1000 years ago.
Starting from scratch, DR.. Nc
Kinley, one of the cleverest of the
G-men who patrol the submicro-
scopic world, caught up with the
outlaw in 20 years. He is the forty
three-year-old dean of medicine of
George Washington university. His
announcement was made as he ar
rived in Manila, where he was with
the Rockefeller foundation in 1927
and 1928. He will conduct further
research among the 5000 lepers OF
the Culion island leper colony. This
work will be in behalf of the Cen
eral Leonard Wood Memorial fund.
DR.. Mckinley is native of EN-
poria, Kan, educated in liberal arts
and medicine at the University OF
Michigan. He continued his stud
les in bacteriology as the holder OF
research fellowship Of the Pasteur
institute of the University Of Brus-
sells. He gained eminence in his
profession in teaching and research
work at the University of Michigan,
Baylor university and the college
of physicians and surgeons of Co
lumbia university.
After his work in the Philippines,
he was dean of the school of tropi-
cal medicine at Puerto Rico. He is
a member of the International Lep-
rosy association and the American
Leprosy foundation. He is an au-
thority on the 'filterable virus" the
author of several books in his field,
including "The Geography of Dis
ease" and a member of many
learned societies.
News from the Philippines is that
chaulmoogra oil, the ancient Indian
remedy, is proving increasingly eff
fective at the Culion island settle
ment, although it is not yet an abso-
lutte cure. But this, with the isola-
ton of the germ, gives hope that
the dreadful plague of medieval
Christendom will soon be van
pushed.
