RACE OF MISSING LINKS
Interesting .Information About Some
Curious Bushmen in South Africa.


Olive Schreiner. the clever author
ess of 1.-The Story of a South African
Farm gives some curious informa-
ton IN a magazine article about the
strange little bushmen Of South Africa,
now nearly extinct
Akin in race and speech to the dwarf
races found in Central Africa. they are
lighter In color SO small III size are
they that an adult RuShman is not

faces, the wool on their heads grow
ing in little balls. with naked spaces
between. They seem to resemble, we
are further told, not SO much race
OF children as race caught in the
very act of evolving into human
form-the missing link. in fact.
These small people had, it seems. no
fixed social organization. Wandering
about in hordes or as solitary individ-
uals without any settled habitaton.
they slept at night under the rocks or
in wild dog holes, or they made them
selves n curious little wall Of loose
bushes. raised up on the side from
which the wind blew. and strangely
! like an ami mails lair, and this they left
again when morning broke Their Ian
guage is said to be so imperfect that
| the clear expression of even the very
simplest ideas is difficult. They have
no word for wife, for marriage, for ma
/ ton. No member of the race has. in
/ any known instance. been taught to
read or write. or to grasp religious con-
! ceptionS clearly, though great efforts
have been made to instruct them.
Although in no known instance has 3
/ member of this people been truly civil

sense of gratitude. and are not incapa.

! like kind" as an incident which came
under Miss Schreiner's own observa-
ton shows. She says:
Some years ago we came in contact
with a RushEoy who had been procured
from his mother for bottle of brandy
and who was carefully tended in the
hope OF civilzing and rearing him. He
! however, contracted consumption. On
the day Of the death of his mistress, see
ing what his state was. bade him lie
down in the little box which was the
only bed he could be induced to use
Half an hour after we discovered him
in the yard cleaning the knives. with
the struggle of death already in his
face and the rattle in his throat: Asked
why he had come, he shook his head
and said he could not allow his mistress
to have her dinner with an unpublished
knife. We took him back to his box
and gave him a sugar stick. He curleG
himself up. gave 4 look of unutterablt

NORTH ATLANTIC FLEET.
Final Gathering Preparatory to tn,
Summer Movements Has Begun.

rAhaA 1nthef1ng preparatory to the
Summer Movements Has Begun.
The final gathering OF the North Atlantic
feet at New York preparatory to the sum
mer maneuvers. which are Slated to begin
as near August l as possible, has begun,
and the vessels of the squadron have fin
ished their duty in connection with the
naval militia and the tuition of the anna
teur tars. and are pointing their noses
toward the anchorage off Tompkinsville,
Staten Island. The big battle ship Indiana,
Capt. Robley d. Evans, arrived Saturday
from her cruise with the Delaware and
Pennsylvania militia, and the Cincinnati
and Montgomery, which had been down to
Gardlner's Island with the New York,
Hnode Island and Connecticut men, were
at the anchorage to meet her. The In
diaha trip was of great value to the am.l-
teurs, as 1t included handling the big and
little guns. &c. On Wednesday, Thursday
ana Friday of last week the men were put
through this course Of instruction. There
was also a course of instruction in signall-
ing, the handling of torpedoes, manipula-
ton OF ammunition, the location of maga-
Zines &c
OF the other vessels of the fleet the Co.
lumpla is due at the yard this week, and
the New York, Newark, Terror, Katahdin
ana Fern are already there. The work on
the flagship New York has SO far advanced
tnat the ship Is expected to leave the yard
place with the squadron. The Newark is
practically ready for sea, the Katahdin is
sui IN the stone dock, but will come out
some time this week, and the Terror will
be ready before the time set for the be-
ginning of the evolutions. The report that
the Cincinnati took the ground while on
ner cruise with the reserves has caused
Httie excitement, but 1t is expected that
she Will come to the yard in a day or two
and go into dry dock for examination The
tact that she went direct to the anchorage
on her return shows that she is not ser
iously damaged, II she is injured at ALL
Inc Iexas, which is to go into commits
sion today. and join the fleet of Tompkins-
viile few days later, has been noated at
the Norfolk navy yard. where she has
oeen undergoing extensive alterations. Var
lous stories are told at the Navy Depart
ment as to the cost of the changes which
nave been made on this ship. The various
estimates of the expense range from $l2O,-
w w, 10 $9oooOO. 1t is probable that about
$loo.Uo mas been devoted to material and
workmanship. The authorities say that she
mas been greatly improved by the changes
made IN her, particularly in the matter of
structural strength, and that, owing to
! ner sood steaming qualities, ability to turn
~ d small radius and the power of her
oattery she will be an important addition
to the feet.
