The Austland calls attention to a
curious instance of climatic infu.
ence on race. In 1916 several
hundred Wurtemburg families en-
igrated to Transcaucasis and took
up their abode in the neighborhood
OF Tifis. They were remarkable
for broad. square build, fair or
red hair and blue eyes. The next
generation changed somewhat. aud
brown hair and black eyes were
seen. In the third generation the
type of the original colonists was
hardly recognizable. Black hair
and eyes were the rule, the round
face length ned. the form gained
tenderness and elegance. Inas-
much as they never intermarried
with another race. it is commended
that climate alone must have ef-
fectsd tbs change.

The Great Wall or China.

The Great Wall OF China was meas
ured in many places by Mr.. Unthank,
a recent taveler. HIS measurements
give the hight at IS feet, width on
top Is feet. Every few hundred
yards there is tower "a feet square
and from 30 to As feet high. The
foundation of the wall is of solid
granite. Mr.. Unthank brought with
him a brick from the wall, which is
supposed to have been made 200
years before the time of Christ. In
building this immense stone fence to
keep out the Tartars, the builders
never attempted t, avoid mountains
or chasms to save expense, For 1900
miles the wall goes over plain and
mountain, every foot of the fnunda-
ton solid granite and the rest Of the
structure solid masonry. In some
places the wall is built smooth up
against precipices where there is u
sheer descent OF 1000 feet Small
streams are arched over, but IN the
larger streams the wall runs to the
waters edge and tower is built on
each side. On the top Of the wall
there are breastworks or defenses
facing in and out so the defending
force can pass from one tower to an
other without being exposed to the
enemy on either siie. To calculate
the time of building or cost Of this
wall is beyond human skill. 81 far
as magnitude of the work is concern
ed, it surpasses anything in ancient
or modern times of which there is
any trace. The Pyramids of Egypt
are nothing compared to it.

The Reno Journal. discussing

much to magnify the evils and
encourage men in the belief that
through corporations they can rule.
Then comes the race am ,ngst
giants. Cut-throat competition is
made possible by the power to
bleed the people. There must he
battles of money as there are con
tests between principles. The

q time comes hen the fountain is

the consequences of their failure
descend upon the people. The
possible harm which corporations
may do should alone be a reason
for curtailing their power to rea-
sonable limits.
