Temperament and quick intelligence, passion,voice,,charm, poetry—Mlle. Bernhardt has them all. One watches her with pleasure,• admira- tion, and yet not Without a secret dis- quietude. Something is wanting. That something is high intellectual power. It was here that Rachel' was so great.

I know another, not so vast, but thrice ea lovely. Bluer than yours, too, and cool and calm and clear, fed by silent springs that steal through the gold • veined heart of the mountain; encom- passed by wooded slopes that hide many of my kin in their tangled depths. I swam it once. "There is a fort there, but I heeded not. I plunged into the pure wave in - tont only on reaching the opposite shore, but some one• saw me, and then what a fuss they made.

A Fighter from Way Back, and a Tough Cdetomer to dandle, '4The gorilla is the prize fighter of Africa," said Carl Steckelmann, who has personal knowledge of the Dark Conti- nent. He had been speaking of a leop- ard skin on exhibition in Itis widow, and ailed been telling of the danger encoun- tered in fighting with the original owner of the skin. "Contests with all wild animals pale in comparison with that in which one must engage in meeting the gorilla," he said. "The gorilla is found in only a comparatively small portion of western Africa. He lurks in the woods along the coasts for several hundred, miles north of the mouth of the Congo; I have never seen a gorilla in the open country, and, by the way, I think 'that the fact that he stays in the woods accounts for the fact that he is almost•abiped instead of a quadruped. You see the gorilla in passing through the forests reaches out with his long arms, and, seizing the branches pf the trees, rises on his hind legs and walks .on them, supporting him- self with his hold on the branches. Habit has thus almost made an upright creat- ure of him. "The gorilla' is as brave as brave can bo. The male gorilla does" all .the fight- ing for the family. If; you appr,oaeh a pair of gorillas the female will run screaming through the woods or will climb too highest tree, uttering all the while cries not unlike 'a 'Woman in great fright. ' But the male gdrilla will come straight at you. He does not know what fear is. He will fight any number of men." "How do you fight them'?" "With pistols. It is veiy unsafe to trust to a gun or to a poor weapon of any kind. The gorilla is so fierce and powerful that you have but one chance at him at the best. The woods where he is found are co thick that it is impossible to see him accurately at any distance. If you fire at him as he comes at you down the tree a Iimb may turn 'the course of the bullet. Before you can fire a second titre lie . will be upon god. He drops from limb to limb and comes at a'rapid, swinging pace. The safest way is to hold your fire until he is at arm's. Iength aria then fire steadily into hiru with a pistol.'. "The gorilla i ' easily killed. .A or- dinary pistol shot will have about the same effect upon him as It has upon a man. The hunter's danger Is in not making the shot tell. Once I was pass- ing through the forest with a bodyguard' of natives. The natives are furnished by the Dutch traders with a miserable gun, the barrel of which is made of gas pipe. Tho natives had learned 'to be suspicious of their guns. Whore they are at any- thing they point in the general direction, pull the trigger and fling The gun at the object, They throw the gun because they are afraid it will explode in their' hands, as it very frequently does. Well, wo came upon a gorilla. • A.native saw ]ttut dropping from a tree coming at us. Aiming at the descending ,form he fired and missed. He had not turned before the grim monster was upon hire. Standing and throwieg his arms around the ne- gro's nock the gorilla seized his throat in his manlike jawsand was crushing the life out of him when we came up and fired a pistol ball into him at close range. But the wounds inflicted were mortal and the native died in great agony."' • "Aro the gorillas numerous in the ;trip of country where they are found?" "They are scarce. In making a trip ol)ce•I Saw two in ono day; but that was unusual. They aro the fiercest and brav- est of animals. The male gorilla in going into battle sounds a fearful warning by beating its breast and giving forth sounds' that make the dense forest resouuti, He is a dangerous antagonist,. and you are alt the time reminded by his appearance that you are contesting with a creetuee that Lae a man's faculties and appear- ance, a giant's strength and a monkey's agility."—Indianapolis Nems.
