Certain Anthropologists Cited to Show
That It Is Mongolian.
Jllbert S. Jlshmead, M. D.
HE Japanese nation is not a perfected branch of the Aino
and Malay. The original invader of Nippon was Mandschu
rian; the same type, that of the fives great families and of
the Mikado, rules China today. The brown skin of the Mon
colian of JaDan is due to the Infusion of negro and negri-
HII told bloods see Quatrefages and Maget. The bridled eye
II (Mongol) is due, according to no less an authority than Dr.
1 Baelz of the University of Tokio, to bony formation of the
orbit peculiar to all Mongolians.
All Japanese culture, religion, education, the Shindayi language, etc., are
distinctly Mongolian Jiinmu Tenno brought negroes with the sun and fire
worship from Mesopotamia and through Manchuria. Zoroastrian traditions
piove this. The Malay infusion (red) of fishermen and sailors, which came
later, never penetrated through-the race. And Jimmu Tenno almost exter
minated, and drove northward to Yezo, Saghalien and the Kuriles the de
spised white, hairy Aino, the aborigines. He killed all the inhabitants of one
island to avenge his brothers death (see "Histoire Universale des Re
liques"). "To be a good Samurai (fighting servant) one must have half black blood
In one's veins," said the old proverb. In those days they they were not
ashamed to acknowledge their black descent, but were proud of it. The in
fusion of black blood and Papuan Malay (negritoid), which came from Mad
agascar to Japan, accounts for the brown skin of the Japanese. The basic
stock of Japan was black and yellow, and not white Aino at all.
The Papuan negritoid infusion brought to Japan from the Philippines the
customs of gilding the lips of women, of blacking the teeth at marriage, and
the building of houses on piles. The snuffling through the nose and playing
the flute with the nose instead of the mouth, the mobility and funny use ot
the big toe are all distinctly negritoid.
The very name Aino (corruption of Inu, and meaning dog) applied to the
ancient possessors of the soil, who were not admitted into race relationship,
proves that that hairy race was despised and not assimilated. The extreme
glabrity of all Japanese hybrids shows that the Ainos had no part in the form
ation of the Japanese race. The Indonesian blood in the Mikado's veins is
Polynesian. The two terms are synonymous.
The Japanese are as Mongolian in their basic stock as are the Chinese
and Coreans.

3 PhvsLcaL exercise i
W f n 1 silm r, JUT Tk
AA OXING is an exercise which is not only of the most marited
tS T benefit in a purely physical way, but it is of the utmost
f value as a means of training the mental and moral facul
ties. One of the most unfortunate whimsicalities of our
very whimsical day Is the prejudice against boxing as a
f(T sport and exercise. There is no sport in which there is
provided such splendid exercise for body and mind and
- &l4t spirit 'as in boxing. - - - . -
'WW'' The physical influence of boxing is superb. Every muscle
and organ is brought Into active use. So far as mentality is concerned, the
perception, imagination, judgment, discretion, self-confidence, aggressiveness
and will are all brought into active and rapid use. The boxer who fails in
perceiving his opponent's intention, who misses in judging the power or
reach of his blow, who is lacking in self-confidence, will-power or aggressive
ness who fails for one moment to remember all the weak points of the man
against whom he is working-that boxer is likely to fail, to lose what we all
value that is reputation, public confidence and income. Among the many
sports and games which are of value in traning the mind I place boxing as
by all means the most valuable. Outing Magazine.

WONDERFUL FREAK OF NATURE
JZ7
The wonderful formation or freak
of nature shown and known locally
as "Rock City," Is situated In a val
ley about four miles from the town
of Minneapolis, In Kansas, between
that place and Salina. The photo
graph conveys an excellent idea of
the general appearance of the "city"
itself, the stones or rocks composing
It being slab-like In form, rising up
wards in tiers, and reminding one of
a yeast-rlsen dough loaf or cake. The
height of the rock varies from small
stones to monsters of fifteen and
twenty feet in height or more. The
figures of the ladles seated thereon,
and of the horse In the background,
give an Idea as to size. No definite
scientific explanation can be given as
to the origin of this extraordinary
natural curiosity, but from the lava
like appearance of the "loaves," and
the crater-like formation of the sur
rounding land, it may be assumed
that It is due to volcanic or seismic
influences of prehistoric times. As,
however, Indications point to the fact
that portions of the vast prairies
once formed an ocean bed, an addi
tional mystery is attached to the ori
gin of "Rock City." The Wide

Clothes-Drainer.
One of the latest household uten
sils recently patented is a washboiler
drainer, an adjunct to the washboiler.
Its object is to facilitate the placing
of clothes in a washboiler and also
to aid In removing them. The drainer
is made of wire, the mesh being very
large. It is shaped to fit into the or
dinary washboiler, with handles at
each end, as shown In the Illustra

AN ALGERIAN NATURAL BRIDGE.
In considering the great natural
bridges of the world, we are prob
ably most familiar with the one in
Virginia, which geologists believe has
been formed by the collapse of a wall
of a cave. In the State of Utah is
another formation of this kind, which
is of very large proportions. It is
but little known, however, for tin
reason that it is far removed from
the nearest railroad or highway.
One of the most extensive bridges
in the Old World Is that illustrated
in the accompanying photograph. It
Is located in Algeria, North Africa,
and in the vicinity of the hill towu of
Constantine. Here the rock forma
tion is so friable that it has disinte
grated on an enormous scale, form

apart and the drainer folded into a
smaller package. The advantage of
the drainer will be apparent at once.
The clothes to be washed can be eas
ily handled, being plaoad in or re
moved from the washboiler with
nractically no trouble. A further ad
vantage lies in the fact that the
clothes can be raised out of the boil
ing water and allowed to drain before
handling, thus avoiding danger of
scalding the hands. Every housewife
would undoubtedly welcome the In
troduction of this time-saver into the

The shirtwaist that is tucked oa

most demand, and here Is a model
that gives the tapering effect to the
figure at the back while it can be
made tp provide more or less fulness
at the front as may be desired. Aa
illustrated, it is made of white linen
with round neck and attached collar
and the tucks at the front are
stitched for their entire length, but
there are several variations of the
model that can be made with ease

front can be stitched to any desired

sleeves can be la elbow or in full

exceptionally lovely and exceptionally
varied. A novelty, and a pretty one,
is the use of unbleached linen In a
canvas weave with white collar and
cuffs, and sometimes the waist also
is worn with the additional box pleat
and frills that can be bought separate

The waist Is made with'.'ronts and

When made with round neck the col

the neck Is cut high it is finished
with a neck-band, and the high roll
over collar Is made separately and
attached to it by means of button
holes and studs. The sleeves are ot
moderate fulness and can be finished
with roll-over cuffs below the elbowa

archway is of greatest dimensions.
At the right of the picture will be
noted the ruins of an ancient stone
wall, which was probably used to sup
