Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 1.-When the
liner Eastern Glade sailed today for
Cape Town, South Africa, she had
on board three Colorado scientists, DIR.
G.. E. Cadle, Paul L. Hoefter and Dr.
Grant N. John. They are going to
penetrate the kilahari Desert OF
Buchanaland, inhabited by the Afri-
can bushman, probably the lowest
race on earth.
The scientists will start from Cape
Town on an expedition organized for
the purpose of investigating into the
life of the bushmen, who are the
smallest living men known and
whose resemblance to highly devel-
oped apes is remarkable.
There is one African bushman in
America. At present he is with a
circus as a side show freak. He is
less than feet tall and is said to
be nearly 100 years old, although he
acts like man of 40 or. less. He was
caught during the Boer war by an
English Army officer who later
brought him to America.
