THE ASIAN RACE.
Brief Description of the Principal
Branches and Groups of the Race
Ranking Next to tle White Race
in Intellect and Progressive
Character.

Northern, Eastern and Southern Asia
Is occupied and has been since the
earliest history, by race already dis
tinguished from others and which is
distinguished by DR.. Brinton as the
Asian race. Their general physical
characteristics are ycllowish colored
skin, straight black hair, abundant on
the head but scanty on the face, almost
absent from the body, medium or small
stature, legs thin, and with skulls tend
ing to brachyCephalic or globular shape
of the skull. The face is round and
cheek bones prominent, nose flat with
bridge depressed, eyes small, black,
and have the peculiar oblique appear
ance OF the Mongolian.
The Snetic Branch
includes the Chinese and inhaUTtants
of Farther India, and may be divided
into three groups, namely, the Chinese
proper, the Thibetans, and the lndo-
Chinese. Ghe languages Of these have
peculiar features and abilities which
point to. sameness of origin in one an
ces.ral atock. These peoples, of whom
we may select the Chinese as type
are gifted in some respects, but seem
to lack The imaginative and inventive
faculties required to make them pro-
gressive They have sysssm of as
tronomy which reaches back more than
1000 years, bnt it has remained with
out important change for centuries.
They invented printing witA movable
types in the eleventh century but have
never developed printing presses. They
have domesticated cattle for thousands
of years, but do not milk COWS and
make butter. They were the first in
ventors of gun powder, but never made
use of it for fire arms until they learned
to do so from European nations. Their
technical skill in art is remarkable, but
the appreciation of beauty is almost
wholly lacking. Their religion is g de.
generated form of Buddhism, sort OF
worship of saints, or those who have
reached the highest stage of perfection
and may enter Nirvana. The system
of philosophical principles of Confuciu:
are II substitute for religion, but theii
teachings are wholly negative or agnos
tic. He declined to express himself oil
any question relating to gods or thu
possible after life of the soul, stating
that the practical duties of life, TO fam
ilv and state, are numerous and clea
enough to occupy ones who'll
