A STRONG PEOPLE.

Island Eskimos Who Differ Greatly
from their Alaska kindred.
1t now seems probable that not all the
Innuits of Alaska are SO small as has
been supposed. Indeed, II one Is to be-
lieve the tales of travellers who visited
an island south Of Boring Sea, these
Indians must be classed among the tall
est people in the world. The travellers
story Is given in Popular Science News.
On Kings Island Indians were found
who by their physical characteristics
belong to the Innuit or Eskimo family.
having small black eyes, high cheek
bones and full brown boards which con-
ceal their lips. The majority of the
men are over six feet high, and the
women are usually as tall as and often
taller than the men.
These women are also wonderfully
strong One Of them carried of in her
birch-bark canoe an eight-hundred-
pound stone, for use as an anchor to q
whaie-boat. When It reached the deck
of the vessel 1t required two strong men
to lift It,. but the Innuit woman had
managed It alone. Another woman car
ried on her head a box containing two
hundred and eighty pounds of lead.
Both men and women are also en-
dowed with remarkable agility. They
will outrun and outjump competitors OF
any other race who may be pitted
against them.
Their strength is gained from very
poor food, and they frequently travel
thirty or forty miles without eating
anything. They live on carrion fish and
seal oil. The fish. generally salmon. are
buried when caught, to be kept through
the winter and dug up as consumption
requires When brought to the air they
have the appearance OF sound fish. but
the stencil from them is unbearable.
In the matter OF dwellings these Es-
KINDS are peculiar. Their houses are
excavated in the sides of q hill. the
chambers being pierre some feet into
the rise, and walled UP with stones on
three sides. Across the top Of the stone
walls poles OF driftwood are laid. and
covered with hides and grass, and lastly
with layer Of earth.
These odd dwellings rise one above
another, the highest overlooking per
haps forty lower ones. Two hundred
people live In the village.

was wounded by the premature explo-
sion Of cartridge in 1868.
Since the Civil War Admiral Bunce
had been assigned to duty at the Bos-
ton, Washington and Brooklyn navy
yards and on torpedo inspection. He
was president Of the naval college at
Newport for two years, succeeding
Captain Mahan. In February, 1898, he
was made rear admiral, and In Decem-
Der Of the same year was placed on the
retired list
In appearance Admiral Bunce was
the typical commanding officer, being
over six feet In height, and splendidly
proportioned. As a young man. 1t Is
said. he was one Of the strongest men in
the navy. His temperament was genial.
and while he believed In discipline he
was neither harsh nor severe. He was
q favorite with the officers of the SER
vice, and with the enlisted men.

.BOURS Can EASILY ESCAPE

New York, Dec. 1.-The correspondent
Of the London Times and the New York
Times says that in order to cope with the
large number Of Beers which keep in
touch with Commandment General l5otha
east of the line OF blocknouses from Wlga
river to Greylingstad, Il British columns
are operating between the Delagoa and
Natal rivers.
In the western Transvaal the columns
under Lord Mcthuen, Colonel Kekewico
and Colonel Hicke are sweeping the coun.
try in conjunction with the forces on the
railway line and the constabulary posts.
1t seems, says the correspondent, that
the blockhouses are to form the chief fac.
tor in the pacifcation Of the country. The
new lines Of blockhouses will soon enter
the merchandising district and
free it Of the enemy.
The concentration of British columpa
south Of the Delagoa railway have with.
drawn the troops north of the line, with
the result that the Beers are back again
in that neighborhood, where horse sick.
ness and fever do not prevail and food is
plentiful.
Lord Kitchener, says the correspondent.
has never had sufficient troops to carry
out comprehensive operations simultan-
eously north and south of the Delagoa
line.

Sir Charles bikes article leaves much
unsaid about the real situation in South
Africa, while the Beers are as unique in
guerrilla warfare as they were in defense
IN the early stage of the campaign. There
are defects in the British system now, as
they were then, and these sources of
weakness help to explain the prolongation
OF hostilities. Military men get little in.

many secrets from the correspondence Of
