coasts consists mainly of the researches
of Ratzel Mason and Boas on this side
of the ocean and of Stellar, Schreuck,
Castreu and one or two other explorers
on the Asiatic side. Yet our knowledge
as il stands is limited, scattered and
untechnical Not that the men men
toned are unteehnical in any sense,
but the facts as related bear but linn
tied relation TO one another and fall
short of supplying a perfect theory
Yet the isolated information is inter
esting to a degree. There is a surpris-
ing similarity in feature existing be-
tween the tribes of the northwest
American coast and the Japanese In
many instances the Investigator can
go a step farther and point to Alaskans
who look more like the inhabitants of
Asia than they do like Americans, and
to the Anus of Japan and some OF the
inha bitants of Corea and of Thibet who
are perfect types of the North Ameri-
can Indian. There is the same straight
hair, the high cheek bones and gen.
eral expression of the Indian. In the
Alaskan we find the lighter skin, the
narrow eyes, the arrangement Of the
hair and general characteristics OF the
japanese. They live in houses, pur-
sue the arts of peace and of the chase
and have a round of traditions very
similar to that of their insular proto-
types Although similar in character
to certain Indian beliefs. their religious
system has some general principles in
common with the earlier forms of Jap
anese worship. Pictures of a north
west coast chief lying in state show
scheme of ceremonial dress almost
identical with that assumed by the
Grand Llama of Thibet. We find the
Alaskans indulging in theatrical per-
formances which are displayed from
platform. The masks used by the chiefs
in ceremonial dances may be seen al
most in duplicate in Thibet. The cary
ing on the totem poles in front of the
feast houses in the villages on Prince
of Wales island, Alaska, are of very
similar character to the carvings on
Corean implements and on certain
utensils used in Thibet. In Corea the
traveller repeatedly comes across carved
images and immense elongated wooden
statues sticking from the ground,
which bear a definite resemblance TO
the totem poles of Alaska. Some of
these Corean statues are much the
same in form, though of different ma
terial, as the famous stone heads of
Easter island in the Pacific ocean.

Or. E. B. .Tylor, the distinguished
British anthropologist, in an address
delivered two years ago before the
British association, called attention to
a remarkable resemblance existing be-
tween Mexican pictures. as shown in
the Vatican codeX, depicting the scenes
in the journey OF the soul in the land
of the spirits and certain scenes from
the Buddhist purgatory, as represented
in Japanese temple scrolls From these
and other correspondence he thought
he was justified in expressing the opin-
ion that ancient American culture was
due to Asiatic influence. In this opin-
ion he now considers himself to be
specially fortified by a closer examina-
ton into the almost Identical games
of mingled chance and skill which are
at once ancient Mexican and Hindu.
Such a one is the game of pachisi, an
ancient and still popular sport in Hin
dCoStan, and patolli, which was seem
ingly an established diversion in Mex

quest. The principle and even the de-

yet fully clear to DIR. TyIor, but it
seems almost certain that the Pacific

In America the same features obtain.
The Indians of the central portion
were alike in many characteristics,
occupied great stretches OF country
and spoke for the most part the same
tongue On the coast the difference in
race and dialects was in large evil
dence At the present time ten lam
guages are spoken by the people liv-
ing between the Columbia river and
Bering straits. and these are divided
into 81 dialects of widely different
character. In Asia we find at least
seven languages and ten dialects
spoken along the coast, and none of
the speakers Of any one dialect is able
to understand the speakers of another
dialect The diversity is amazing. yet
it is expected that the same myths
will be found to permeate the tradi-

CONSOLATION.

There's another land and better,
We are told.
Where the slave shakes off his fetter
And where worth is never debtor
Unto gold.
Thither often we are turning
Weary eyes,
And our heavy hearts are yearning
Night and day are throbbing, burning,
For its skies.
There that foolish superstition,
Pride of birth.
Finds its sudden{ demolition,
And our beings final mission
Is of worth.
There the insolence of power
Falls away;
And the Droudest soul must cover.
For the spirit takes no power
From the clay.
Common lives have wondrous splendor
In that light,
For the spirit meek and tender
Puts to shame the kings defender
Shorn of might.
Natures touched with fires seraphic
Shed their care,
And no peace-girt islands Sapphic
Far from fretful toll and traffic.
Dream and dare.
Laws through years of wrong descended
There are changed;
Customs with injustice blended,
Creeds for centuries defended,
Rearranged.
Heaven has solace without measure
You and |
Should not dream of earthly pleasure.
But should think about our treasure
In the sky.

The American museum of natural
history in New York City is about to
send out an expedition, the purpose of
which viii be to establish just how
America came to be peopled with In
dams. Several leading scientists viii
carry on investigations in Alaska and
in northeastern Asia TO determine
whether or not the inhabitants of the
two countries had any ancient connec-
ton with each other by way of Behr-
ing straits. It Will be a thorough and
systematic exploration of the country
and people existing between the AMOR
river in Asia and the Columbia river IN
America. The history, traditions, tolk-
lore, customs, costumes, manner OF Nv
ing, implements used and the language
of the inhabitants Of both coasts VIII
be examined into and compared, with
the idea of finding out just how much
ancient similarity existed between
them. DR.. Franz Boas of Columbia
university, assisted by Harlan l. Smith
OF the American museum OF natural
history Will lead the expedition, which
viii be financed from the private purse
of Morris K. JesoD, president Of the
museum.
The problem of how America came to
be peopled has always been leading
one for anthropologists, but evidence
obtained during the past rev years
seems to point 10 one solution-that the
original passage between the continents
was made via Behring straits, and that
from this point the immigrants gradu-
ally spread southwark and eastward
until a new race spread over the whole
western hemisphere. This is the theory
plausible enough in view OF the CYL
dence advanced although it takes but
little account of any relics of prenis-
toric man which may have been found
on this side of the ocean. 1t also en-
tirely disregards the theory which pre-
tends that the Indians are the descend
ants of the lost tribes of Israel. Sclen-
lists, generally, contend that this last
story is but pleasant little myth in
tended TO adjust the disparity which
exists between certain Biblical dates
and present conditions. On both shores
of the Pacific, relics have been found
which clearly indicate a decided SINH
larity in methods and practices pur-
sued by the inhabitants, but while
the isolated instances of similarity have
given good ground for the theory OF in
accommodation, no systematic plan
of research has ever been carried out.
1t is high time now that something
definite be done in the matter for IL is
expected that the building of the
Trans Siberian railroad with its
branches and consequent civilizing in
