There might be ‘seen the ‘monstrous gorilla, the gibboon, the orang ottang, the chimpanzee, the termite, or. white ant, native villages, black men in’ dis: habille, and skeletons of ‘the ‘gorilla’ and his cousin man placed side hy side | for comparison: A little after eight M. Du Chaillu entered and made his bow. He is a small sized, dark dom- plexioned, gentlemanly mang and spoke with a French accent, and" not, yery fluently, but in w simple, direet and. pleasing manner. After introductory j remarks explaining how he Amie to | visit the country of the Fans, he suid “This lies in the mountains hear the. western coast of Africa, abut two hun- dred and fifty miles from the cbast, atid two degrees north of the equator.

In certain seasons, when epidemic cholera may be present, and when the systems of the people may be prepared for disease by the poisoned air they breathe, it is possible that wilted fruit and vegetables may be the exciting ause of fatal sickness ; but even then the air.that is breathed is more truly the cause of death than the food . that is eaten, In ordinary seasons, when no epitemic is present, impure air causes a thousand-fuld more mortality than fruitand vegetables.
