New York World.
 After spending two years in Fast Arc tic Siberia, making a study of t. strange tribes that inhabit its bleak shores. Prof. Waidemar Jochelson has returned to New York and made a report to the American Museum of Natural History that is con- sidered one of the most important ever filed with the Department of Anthropol- ogy of that or any similar institution.
 Morris K. Jesup conceived in 1896 the idea that the question could be settled whether the American Indian was of Asiatic origin or not-whether he came to this part of the hemisphere from across Behring Strait, or landed on these shores from some other part of the earth.

 Russians as Explorers.
 What was known as the Jesup North Pacific Expedition was fitted out by the Museum, with the assistance of the Rus sian Imperial Academy of Sciences and the Russian Imperial Geographical So- Ciety. fTO1. WdiQeHdT JoCneloOH Prof. waldemar Bogoras, both Russians, and associated with the Russian Acad- emy of Sciences, ware engaged by the museum to undertake the task.

All of this is taken to prove that there was what these explorers call Round Pa rife Race''-meaning that the inhabitants of China, Japan, Arctic Siberia and North and South America were originally all one and the same race.
