He made such an accurate description of it, however, that he gave his name to the animal. Two years ago the New York Museum of Natural History sent an expedition to the Kongo, and a cablegram has just been received saving that specimens of the male, the female and the calf okapi have been killed and the skins and skeletons shipped to New York.

It has been common knowledge in the city for years that the* new head of the Rothschild family knew little ami cared less about the ins and outs of the famous banking business in New square. It is hard, however, to imag ine a Rothschild without at bast some aptitude for the business of money getting, and they were probably wrong who fancied that whenever the Hon. Walter came to St. Svnthin's lane it was to buy a Himalayan >???;? r. a wild cat or a rather expensive hawk eagle. But few persons outside of the Roths child family could have anticipated the bombshell of .the late Lord Rothschild's will, made public ;i few da\s ago. For therein, out of a fortune roughl> esti mated in war time as $ 1 L'.rioo.ono, the heir to the title received a legacy of only $2.?,000 a year, or exactly one-half of what he is said to spend a year on the upkeep of his famous zoo (his mother received $.".0(1,000 III :i lump;, and not he. but his younger brother, the Hon.

The 10,000 fleas of ail forms and sizes in the museum .11 Tring I'ark are, in fact, the property of the Hon. Charles, but Tin- fact remains that, unlike his elder brother, he had not been obsessed b\ his devotion to natural history, but for \ears has been one of the most active and capable members of the firm of which he is now tin- head.

But. however one cares to figure it out. tli?- fact remains that the new l,ord Rothschild's overweening devo tion to science (and he is the first of his family to exhibit such a predilec tion! has cost him some ten, or it maj be twenl>, thirty or even fifty million dollars. For. as a I read} mentioned, the estimate of the kite peer's fortune at ?-..">00,000 sterling is hardly more than a conservative guess. This estimate takes no account of many of the testa Rothschild. who is tall, thick-set, bearded and rather careless about his dress, has had what amounts almost to a craze for everything connected with the animal kingdom. Both his mother and his grandmother, by the way, were Rothschilds, for it is, of course, the policy of this famous family to keep its wealth together as far as possible by intermarriage, and he himself first saw the light in ls?;s. He got half his education at Cambridge and the other half at Bonn. Germany, and today is a doctor of science of tliesen I'niversity, as well as trustee of the British Mu seum, a fellow of the Royal Society and a member of goodness knows how many other learned bodies, for he is, one must clearly understand, no crank, but recognized as one of the great au thorities on his favorite subject living. Incidentally he is a keen sportsman he to be a frantically asserting that he had been fallen upon by the devil. In the museum at Tring we have a giraffe eighteen feet ten inches in height, the highest known specimen, shot in Angela, and here, too, is a per fect specimen of the quagga from Cape Colony, now extinct all over the world, and of Burchell's zebra from the Orange River Colony, which Is rapidly following suit.

This collection of fleas is the most complete in the world, there is oiip flea missing, which new head of the Rothschild house most covets, and that is the of the arctic fox. Tie has been to get one for years. Tt was stated, you may that he had sent a special expedition the polar regions in quest of the flea, but this, the director of the seum himself assured the writer, an exaggeration of the facts. that a trawler named the Xot was going to the arctic regions quest of foxskins, Mr. Rothschild this salt to look out for the flea, only two specimens of which known to exist4 in collections. alas, the captain *ret urned flealess. some time later Nathaniel ? * *

Her Growth Was Stopped by Disease of the Pituitary Gland in Childhood.' The growth of their bones and tissues is carried to a point where the nourishment taken in and the muscular and n?iwou8 force developed are not sufficient ' to run the machine. From a utilitarian point of view, giants are decidedly worse than dwarfs. Science foresees that wonderful things may be accomplished by a thorough un derstanding of the pituitary body and how to stimulate it. While it may not be de sirable to be a circus giant, still, every body wishes to attain a good height, and a broad, powerful frame Is even more to be wished. There Is reason to believe that a way may be found to stimulate the pituitary body so as to Increase the thickness of the bones and thus to produce a more powerful frame. Experiments have al ready shown that extracts of the pituitary body of pigs and steers produces bene ficial resulte In a man with a disordered pituitary. Extracts from the correspond ing glands of apes, elephants and other animals are likely to lead to still different results. Dr. Austin Flint, one of the leading American physiologists, tells us that the pituitary gland weighs from five to ten grains and is situated on the sphenoid bone, which forms the front part of the base .of the skull?that is, back of the eyes. It Is a ductless gland, composed of vesicles surrounded by connective tissue und blood vessels. The wonderful hor mones which regulate our growth are in visible substances, which escape throiiRh the wall of the gland. Dr. Flint, writing before the latest re searches had fully proved that the pitui tary body controls growth, said: "Disease of the pituitary body, especi ally In adult life, Is attended with great enlargement of the bones, of the extremi ties and the features of the face, or what. is known as acromegaly. When the dis ease occurs in early life, as development, progresses there In a condition known ns giantism, the Individual sometimes reach ing an enormous stature. That there Is some relation between the pituitary body To certain de rangements of the pituitary body the stronger living ani mals are believed to owe the remark able peculiarities of their shape. Thus the pituitary glvea the giraffe hla long neck, the elephant his trunk, the zebra his stripes, the -ca pel his hump, the hippopotamus his enormous face, and so forth. Professor Henry Fairfield Oaborn, in his recent work, "The Origin and Evolution of Life.'? gave this very inter esting explanation of the Influence of the pituitary and other glands in causing peculiari ties of growth: "We may sup pose that in the course of evolution certain special cells and. Anally, special groups of celli?, gave rise to the glands. Among the special glands of internal secretion known in man are the thyroids, para thyroids, thymus, siiprarenals, pitui tary body and pineal gland, rud iments of which doubtless occur in the very, oldest vertebrates and even among their invertebrate ances tors. Some affect George Auger, the Weil-Known Giant, Who Reached a Height of Miss Rose Wedsted, a Giantess Seven and a Half Feet Tall, the Unfortunate Victim of Hyperactivity of Her interpreted as con genital characters appearing at birth and tending to be transmitted through several generations, but until recently no one has suggest ed what may be its possible cause.
