cases it was the Boers who were to blame. Von Rosenfeldt and Fred Mul- Ter came by the last steamer.
 This is a dangerous position, as all the fire of the enemy's great marine guns is concentrated upon our heavy ora- nance. Since the siege commenced we have lost out of the foreign mess four officers killed in the big-gun batteries. The colonels in the siege batteries are paid one hundred and fifty Trausvaal sovereigns a month. I am remitting home one hundred and twenty every month and, as we expect this war to last for six months yet, l may look for- ward to having something considerable awaiting me at Hanover. We under stand that the French general receives two hundred and fifty pounds per month. Our friend Albrecht had the ground in front of each successive posi- tion occupied by the Boer commander Cronje accurately measured, and bould- CTS at the various distances marked by whitewashed figures upon the boulders that are everywhere scattered about Tn South Africa.

THE COLOR SENSE OF SAVAGES.
 In his lecture on the Senses of Prim-
 itive Man" delivered at the Royal In
 stitution, Dr. w. IT. R. Rivers spoke
 about primitive color vision. He devot-
 ed his introductory remarks to the im-
 portance of the color sense in the study
 of the relation between language and
 ideas, and referred to the deficiency in
 color sense which Dr. Gladstone and,
 later, Geiger held to exist among the ancients, and to the theory of an evolu-
 ton of color sense in man within his
 torical times. He then gave some ac-
 count of the yocahularies employed for
 colors by several savage races. The simplest he found was among the Aus tralian natives, in the Seven Rivers dis trict, a number of whom had only three terms; natives from the Fitzroy River showed much the same characteristics. The next simplest was that of Kiwai, on the Fly river, where there was no name for blue apart from black. The last tive he mentioned were those of Murray Island and Mabung, which were more extensive. In these four vocabu- laries, four stages might be seen in the evolution of color language exactly as deduced by Geiger, red being the most definite, and the colors at the other end of the spectrum, the least so It was noteworthy, too that the order of these peoples in respect to culture was the same as in regard to development of words for colors. The Eskimo, Dr. Rivers observed, differed radically from hn Jo, off ha q had examined in possessing an extreme ly well-deyeloped color vocabulary. He next discussed the epithets used for col or in Homer, and concluded that the features of his color language were es- sentially of the same nature, as those found among primitive peoples of the prestn day. Speaking of the objective examination of color sense in the Tor res Straits, he said the people showed no confusion between red and green, but they did between blue and green. The investigation of their color names, he thought, showed that to them blue must be duller and darker color than it was to us, and indeed the tintometer had afforded evidence of distinct quantitive deficiency in their perception OI Dlut, lllOuSI Lut NSiC ie'A from proving blindness to blue. Dr. Rivers then discussed some of the ob- jections that had been urged against the theory of historical evolution of color sense, coming to the conclusion that it was not to be lightly put aside, though it could not be regarded as full ly demonstrated. Finally he considered some of the factors that determined the special characteristics of promitive color language, giving some instances, from widely separated parts of the world, in which names of colors seemed to be de- rived from the same natural objects London Times.

BOY BURIED ALIVE.
New Jersey After Over Twenty
Five Years.

Philadelphia, March 25.--At Multi
ca Hill, n. j., near here, the start
ling discovery has been made that a
boy had been buried alive. An un-
dertaker was exhuming the bodies
of the members of the Smitzer fam
lily, who lived at Mullica Hill about
twenty-five years ago, for final burial
in this city. One coffin contained the
skeleton of boy and its condition
bore evidences of an awful struggle
after the supposedly dead body had
been buried. The bones of the legs
were drawn up and the arms were
extended across the face. The glass
of the casket which had been above
the boys head was broken. The po-
sition of the body and the condition
of the coffin indicated that the VIC
tim of a horrible mistake had died in
terrible agony.
