One of the valued possessions
of the late Stuart Robson was a
collection of scrapbools COM
piled by the comedian with
great care. They didnot con-
tain press clippings, either. Mr..
Robson was q radical free
thinker and he neglected no OPP
portunity to point out what he
considered the unworthiness of
the clergy. He cut out all the
reports of their misdeeds that
appeared in thenewspapers and
for number of years he added
these clippings assiduously to
his collection. The scrapbooks
increased so much in bulk at
last that he was compelled to
give up the task. But he was
always proud of the monument
that he had raised to his opin-
ions

The Tanning OF
Wyatt carp
Done at Dawson by Five Foot Cock

Since Wyatt carp, once famous as a
gun tighter in Arizona and California,
went up into the Klondike very little has
been heard of him by the outside world
prominence was his decision in the
Sharkey- Fitzsimmons prize fight In San
Francisco, when he gave the fight to
Sharkey on an alleged foul. For some
years before that he had been quite an
orderly citizen for one of his reputation
gun fighter.
From. the stories that. have, drifted
down from the Klondilxe in the last few
weeks, it appears that carp, has resumed
a favorite trick of his, known in the
days of Arizona and California.

But when he got to Dawson he found

= Boston, Sept.~o.-so eminent an author
ity on the human form as DR.. Dudley
Allen Sargent, director Of physical Gull
ture in Harvard university, has recently
made the announcement that 1.-The finest
living example of symmetrical physical
development in human being Is a young
mulatto, named Thomas e. White of
Chelsea, Mass, who,~ in onevrespect, at
least; ts better proportional than the
Apollo Belvedere."
This is the man in whom the world
of sculpture and art is just now so deep
ly interested; this human being whose
magnificent physique and symmetrical
proportions not only rival that of the
famous Apollo Belvedere, the accepted
idol Of masculine perfection, but who is
also, according to the demonstration OF
Dr. Sargent, living proof of the Belief
long held by recognized authority in art,
that those most famous examples of
classic beauty and sculpture-the Venus
de Milo and the Apollo Belvedere-were
chiselled from Ethiopian slave models
He also confirms the general opinion that
ancient Greeks used negro slaves for
models in their beautiful statuary.
When asked his reason for making this
statement, the Harvard professor said.
1.-THE standard of excellence which l
adopt is not based on the measurements
of Apollo Belvedere. nor any of the old
Greek statues 1t is a modern standard
that we select made from the best points
of thousands of individuals.
From the proportions of the statue OF
Apollo Belvedere the OVerlength of the
arms in particular. I am of the opinion
that It. was modelled from a. negro. i

Henry H. Kitson Of Boston. one Of the
most noted sculptors Of the world. hav-
ing learned of the wonderfully developed
form of young White, has made the lat
ter an offer to pose before him. with the
view Of using him as model for great
statue.
His measurements are as follows:
Height, feet 8 inches
Weight, 151 pounds.
Chest (normaD, $3.50 inches.
Waist, 31.6 inches.
Hips. 1913 inches.
Thigh, PIG inches. .
Calf, 1872 inches. >',%
Upper arm. 1915 inches. -.
Forearm, 12.S inches.
White is not afraid of work. Eight
times day he pushes truck weighing
1000 pounds, over a track ], 700 feet long
During the course Of the day he pushes
distance OF two and a half miles. In
addition to this he does other hard work,
which apparently does not fatigue him.
His ambition is to continue developing
his phenomenal strength until he be-
comes, not only the most perfectly
the strongest. He is conscious of his
great strength, but to his credit. never
puts it to a bad use. and is held in esteem
by his companions. g.
in the case of Thomas E. White. and
that is that the black race in physical
form, is improving wonderfully in SYM
metry. - +.
Up, to the present time, it has been
merely a theory thai the great Apollo
Belvedere's statue represented negro S
figure. Now it has been verified By sci
entific authority. -
Physical culturists and anthropolOgists
have found that any given race Of men
has certain chara cteristics that are trans
m1tted from one generation to another
over centuries and thousands Of years.
