V6y. The cOunCGndHCtS OL 5dVdBeS IHll ! to bespeak their emotions. Take a
 series of our Indian portraits, which l we are collecting in this bureau to rep
 resent all of the American aboriginal | tribes, and note what utter lack of | thought or emotion the great majority | of faces convey. Thus it has become common for romantic writers to speak of the Indian as a stoic, whereas, as a
 matter of fact, his face simply fails to depict the changing phases of his | mind.
 As far as complexion and eyes are concerned. I believe that ultra blond ness and ultra brunetteness will con stantly diminish But uniformity in color of eyes and hair will never be reached.
 The teeth and hair of future man will
 be superior to ours. Compare the teeth
 of the citizens of our great cities with
 those of the Indians The lives of
 savages are shortened by the early de-
 cay of teeth. Future mans teeth will
 become improved because he will take
 care of them The same is true of the
 hair. There was more badness in the
 days of nightcaps than there is now
 The pessimistic biologists prophecy
 that future man will be physical
 weakling, whose head will greatly
 overbalance his body, but they are
 wrong. The head cannot lead the
 race, because, in the first place, the
 brain cannot develop without the
 hands keeping up with it. It is the
 hand which does. Edison cannot think
 machines into existence; he must make
 them with his hands, The chest is increasing in size in about the same ratio as is the head Furthermore. the lower extremities are compelled to keep up with the upper. Compare the limbs of savage man with those of his enlightened borther, and you will find the lower leg of the former to be much the smaller. Most artists fail utterly in their attempts to depict the anatomy of primitive man. They put on him legs based upon the anatomy of Greek art. But the legs of the average man of today are better than those of av- craze man in the days of the great Greek sculptors. Sandow and athletes who advertise their muscular prowess in the magazines to-day have better development than had the best Greek athlete models. In the educational in- of the future physical devel- opment will remain compulsory until exercising the body uniformly and making ones self well-rounded speci- men of humanity becomes an estab- lished habit
 No, the automobile and labor saving machines will not tend to make man a physical weakling. The same man who will drive an automobile rather | than walk, and will thus store up physical energy, will go out to row or | play golf In the fresh air, and his son will go to college and become sprint ar. And the man whose, bodily effort Is relieved by labor saving devises in- troduced in the workshop will have a surplus of physical energy to be ex- pended in more wholesome exercise han that to be found indoors.
 Future men will be taller than we ire. There will be constant but gradual increase in stavure. v Mans average height to- day is much greater han it ever was before.
 Future men will also live longer. Be- ore many generations ripe old age will lot be reached before afcentury. Com nunicable diseases will have been under completeS control In- ects which carry disease will have 'een exterminated. Man will get rid f the house-fy when he exterminates he horse; the flea when he extermi- ates the dog and cat; the plague erm when the rat and the mouse are cen no more on earth, and so on, over n endless chain of extermination.
 The sex of the future rage will be re- e-determinable. For q time the pen ulum will swing backward and for : ,ard, with a preponderance of one sex, hen of the other. The first generation { i'll probably show a preference for oys Predominance of the male, and $ he resulting desire for more women, Ill cause a reaction in the second. ut eventually the pendulum will set ( e down and equilibrium be reached. z he moral effect will be great in- f rease of confidence in human power.- ( rof. w.
