ARE THE AMERICANS BECOMING ISDIASs?-
The scientific men of Europe are collecting
arguments to prove that Americans are rapid
ly assuming the physical characteristics OF
Indians. Henri Berthead. in an article print
ed III Paris recently. says that the French
gioylers all make gloves for the American
market with much longer fingers than those
intended for European consumption, and
quotes as follows from letter written by n
scientific man of Philadelphia to Pruner Bev:
1.-The AnglO-Amcrican presents from the sec
ond generation characteristics of the type
which IL not unlike that of the Lenni Lenapcs.
the lroquoIse, and the Cherokee Indians
The skin becomes dry as leather; it loses the
warmth OF color and the ruddiness of checks,
and IN their stead the color of mud tincturcs
it Ill men and an insipid paleness in women
The head decreases in size and becomes round
or pointed. 1t is covered with smooth hair of
Il dark color. The neck lengthens. The eyes
are sunken in deep cavities which are quite
near each other. The iris becomes dark; the
eyes expression piercing and wild. The long
bones lengthen chiefly IN the upper eXtremi-
ties. The author also quotes from 'anOther
American author" The language of Ameri-
cans tends more and more in its standard
phrases to become like the red men's-Indians
There Is, too, growing tendency to exclude
light from houses and a growing fondness for
guirish cOlurs III clOthcs--tastes which are
common IN all savagcs. Let US add further,
the proverDial phIcgmatic character of the
English gradually disappears in Yankees, and
IN lis stead there Is an uneasy, feyorish and
incessant activity, which shows itself by
constant craving to occupy the hands, and by
the universal habit of whiting wood. To
avoid the destruction Of furniture in American
hotels, all their prOpricturs take care to pro-
vide each Traveller with sticks for them -
whittlc nj pleasure. Such Is the force of the
nunia, that the Federal Government actually
votes an appropriation of money 10 provide
the members Of Congress at Washington with
sticks to white. III order to prevent the de-
struction of the seats and desks at the Cap
itol."
We wonder how so much 'scienco" has
lived 50 long.
