mark their mental and moral char
acteristics. The striking difference
between the African negro and the
North American Indian is sculptured
on their noses. The Caucasian has a
prominent and we'll defined nose. and
he leads in subduing the world.
The Chinese have bad noses. and
they are intellectually superior race.

You can also see how the nose marks
some OF the gradatIons OF society

OF Egypt, had novel way OF Furnishing
robbers. He cut OF their noses and
colonizcd them the robbers in 4 des-
