an EDUCATED MISSING LINK.
An Interesting Visitor from the wilds
of siam.

An Interesting Visitor from the Wilds
of siam.
NEW YORK, Feb. TN the parlor OF
the Ashland house yesterday afternoon
little Krao, who has been christened by
scientists In Europe, where she has been
on exhibition. as "Darwin's missing link"
held her first reception in this city, her
visitors being principally physicians and
newspaper men who had been specially
invited. KraO is a member of the race
known as the Tree Dwellers of Laos, ana
was captured about five years ago by
party of which DR.. George G. Shelly, who
now has charge OF her, was one. She was
D years old at that time, and since has
been su omitted TO the influences of civil.
cation, which have not been thrown away
on her. She has learned to talk English
and German fairly well, and she received
her visitors yesterday with smiling bow
which would have done credit to lady in
society.
The most peculiar feature that strikes a
stranger upon FIRST seeing KraO is the
luxuriant growth of black glossy hair,
which falls In long tresses from her head
and covers her body almost completely
with hairy envelope about an inch in
thickness. Only in the palms of the hands
and the feet Is the grayish yellow skin
arities of the same members of a well de-
veloped ape. The fingers are so flexible
that they can be bent backward so that
the ends rest on the back Of the hand
without causing pain, and can be twisted
in every direction like the feet Of mon
key. The nose Of this singular specimen
Of low level of humanity is devoid of
cartilages, as are the ears, which are
situated further back on the head then in
the higher race. Her arms are long and
lean, and can be twisted backward, COM
pletely around the neck, without causing
the least inconvenience or pain. Whether
Krao is type of an aboriginal race whose
development has been suddenly cut short,
which is what DR.. Shelly claims, or, is
specimen of retrogression from a higher
to lower state of development, is a ques-
ton that has never been satisfactorily SET
tied. Many travellers in the northern,
part of Siam, where she was caught,
have written of the Tree Dwellers of Laos
butthis is the onlyImember of hatsingular
family or race that has ever been brought
to this country.
