Claude Albright, tie clever lit-
Helladotherium Hodi*)i-duj.
Sir Harry Johnston has discovered in
the Semliki forests a mammal which,
in its living form, is entirely new to
science, says the London Times, it
is the size of au ox. and is distinctly
related fo the giraffe. This remarkable
creature, in fact, appears, so far as a
cursory examination of its skin and
skull may guide us, to be a living rep-
resentative of the Hclladotherium, a
creature found in the fossil state in
Greece and Asia Minor and supposed
to be extinct. The Helladotherium
was thought to be a relation of the
giraffe, smaller in size, with shorter
neck, and without any marked devel-
opment of those horn cores which in
the giraffe represent the pedicles from
which, fur back in the history of the
genus, a kind of antler formerly
sprang.
Sir Harry Johnston has at last se-
cured, through the kindness of the
Belgian authorities at the frontier post
or' Fort Mbeni, a complete skin and
two skulls of this animal, which is
now shown to be not at all a horse,
but a cloven hoofed ruminant of ex-
traordinary coloration and appearance,
which seemingly is either of the ex-
tinct genus Helladotherium, or is some
closely allied creature belonging to
that somewhat vaguely defined group
of which the giraffe Is an exemplar.

Lynching Fad GeU a Check,.
A police official of Connerville,
Pa., is entitled to credit for an in-
teresting and instructive object lesson
in the matter of dealing with lynchers.
When a mob assaulted the town jail
ami demanded their victim early the
Other morning this official resorted to
tactics of his own. As the mob num-
bered about 5,000 he had fairly good
reason for considering himself over-
powered and yielding the keys under 1
force. He might have fired at the !
crowd, which would probably have
hastened the lynching along. Instead
.of threatening the mob, however, he
let it be understood that he recog-
nized his disadvantage, merely re-
marking that while he could not fight
a mob he would take occasion to kill
the first man who broke in. The mob
as a mass was courageous enough to ■
do anything, but as a collection of in- 1
ilividuals it was baffled. However !
many of its members might have been i
willing to be the second man into the i
jail, a natural reluctance to be the '
first made them powerless. The first !
man failing to make known his pres- ■
< lice, the other 4,999 concluded that '
n lynching would not be worth while.
The Connellsville official's example is !
worthy of attention by jailers In com-
munities where lynching is a fad.
