PHYSIOLOGICAL LINvEsTIGATIoN ON THE
HUMAN HAIR.--Mr. Peter Brown
whose physical investi cations of the han
of the American pretender to the Bour-
Dor CT iown, was the subject Of much SCI
entifc discussion a short time since, ha~
applied his theory to the question,
whether the people whose remains are
found in the mounds are identical with
the existing race of American lniians
His conclusion is that they are, which
he f.und- upon the identity of form be-
tween the horizontal section Of the hair
ofthe former, and that OF hundreds OF
specimens Of the latter Mr.. Browne
divides the hair of he human family into
the cylindrical, the oval, and the eccen-
trically elliptical, as ch.,racterizes the
various races. He examined the
hair of the mummy of a young Ameri-
can Indian, supposed to be a female of
about ten years old, from Pachacarnack,
Temple of the Sun, five leagues from
Lima, South America. This cemetery
has not been used since the Spanish con-
quest, previous to which (accordlng t."
Herea) it was kFpt sacred for the mobiles
and hes dignitaries of Peru. The hair
Of this Indian, which is in good preser
vation, is cylindrical, diameter 1864 of
an inch. He has also examined eight
other ancient specimens of Indian pile,
and finds simil II results. On the other
hand, he has submitted to the most crit
ical investigations the hairs found upon
the mummles Of Egypt and Thebes, and
has found them to be oval without any
exception. These observations Of Mr..
Browne bear upon the very interesting
question in ethnology, as to the original
OF the aboriginal inhabitants of America.
Provided The hair theory be true, the
favorite doctrine with many, that the In
dians of this county are decended from
the Egyptians, must be false. The an-
tcehthomous origin of the aborigines of
America is h. Id by many on various
eroun IS whch the theory of Mr. Browne
would seom to confirm National Mag
azine.

The Volga-it is the largest in Europe.
Its length is between 500 and l,70O
miles, and carries off the waters of near
ly 100, 600 square miles of country As
about 100 miles from its source it begins
to be navigable; at Vienna it flows in a
broad channel, and there forms an I'M
nense number of islands. Between Blu.
da and Belgrade the Danube is so broad
and dee that men-of-war can navigate
the stream, and here naval enga gements
have taken place between the Christians
md the Turks. Between Giurgevo and
Ruschuck on the opposite bank, it IS
two miles broad. At the fortress o.
New Orsova, uear is enhance into Wal
Iachia, Is the Iron Gate, so called from
the high and precipitous banks within
which the stream is confined Twenty
miles lower QoWn are the rulHb oI AIH-

magnificent structure. 1t was 60 feet
broad, and contain. 20 arches, of l70
feet span each, at a height of $50 feet
above the level Of the stream. 1t was
destroyed by Adrian, Trajan's successor.

by means of it, fa- iliate their progress

the stream. About 80 miles above
TsmaiI, near the mouth of the Danube,
was another bridge, over which Hystas-
pes pursued the flying Scythians; but all
vestiges of this brave also disappeared.
The whole line of the Danube, from Ser
via to its mouth, now bristles with forts
and fortresses, all of which have been
recently put into state of efficiency,
while many new ones have been added.
