RACIAL TYPE IN AMERICA.

There is hardly a more fatuous irldi- vidual anywhere than the man with a brand-newath theory of his own conceiv- ing. Wonderful is the ingenuity he will practice in finding plausible evidence to confirm his fixed idea, and marvellous is the power his eye will acquire of seeing right through a very mountain of facts which refI,te it. Eminent men are not exempt from subjection to this fatuity. politicians, scientists, phil losophers and the teachers of men gen. serally are prone to fall into 1t. Profess sor Starr of the University of Chicago lis the latest notable example Accord ing to newspaper reports of lecture which he recently delivered twice, he believes that the American people are fast developing into Indians, He has held the theory for some time, and an- nounces 4that he has now confirmed IL by personal observation. He examined the descendants of small colony of Germans who came to the United States years ago, locating in Pennsylvania, and found that the fourth and fifth gen. erations had developed marked Indian characteristics, such as black eyes and darker colored skin. "The changes mo- ted take place invariably,' said Profes- sor Starr, through the influence of the potent American climate and env.ron- ment." #% y
 In this case, the mountain of refutins fact which the theorist cannot see is represented by the whole American race o,,+.;da ,,f tba ,,,AfaecoyJe, s,,, ol1 ooIa,, ', .of Teutonic Pennsylvanians, and, possi- bly,, a few other seeming instances. Nor, apparently, does the worthy schol- ar care of observe that during the last four centuries there has been a certain admixture of Indian blood into that of the white invaders of the American con- tinent, and that this may account, in a measure for the traits he has observed. No, dear professor, your theory that the American people are assimilating the Indian type, and will go on approaching it more nearly, cannot be taken serious ly. It is too obvious that, even if there were an undoubted tendency of this kind, it could only develop in the wil- derness and in the primitive conditions which produced the Indian savage; and the difference between our civilization and those conditions need not be insist ed upon. ti.
 A distinct racial type, as marked al- most, as that of any European people, has certainly been evolved in the Uni ted States; but it does not bear any particular resemblance to the Indian type. It is not difficult to designate an American man or woman in Europe; and Americans abroad are recognized not only on account of their clothes and speech and external manner, but by that something distinctive in face and form and temperament which we cali race.-Harper's Weekly.

DESERT GOLD.
A Story from the Mexican Frontier.

A Story from the Mexican Frontier. Aninteesting story, the truth of which is vouched for by a resputable citizen, comes from border town of Arizona and Mexico concerning the latest big gold find.
 Not very long ago a supposed honest young prospector drifted into town, with himself and his faithful ship of the desert appearing very much the worse for wear. Packed amongst his camping utensils were several sacks of ore, which he allowed every one to see, but very few to handle, at the same time informing some of them that he was going to have it essayed for gold as soon as he could afford it. and also have it analysed for plantinum for he felt sure it contained the latter. as it looked identical with some ore he, had seen somewhere that contained rare and expensive metal. In addition to these statements, he told story of finding the skeleton of man and also a bur- TO at a certain point. He gave the ex- act detail and description of the grue- some find and said all the bones were bleached white. At certain point three miles from this was his great gold discovery, and by some chain of evil dence proved that the skeleton pros- pector was returning from this very find when he perished on the desert

STRANDED FOUR DAYS. V Young canadi an K obin son Crusoes.

A couple of young Canadians had an accident to their canoe and were left upon small uninhabited island for four days before help came, during which time they had nothing to eat but couple of packages of Grape-Nuts.
 In telling the story one of them says: There was quite party of us, and we prepared to spend jolly time hunting in Muskoka. I provisioned the party, and among other supplies laid in a stock of Grape Nuts food of which I am very fond.
 .'One day we left camp to paddle to the nearest steamer landing F miles away. Just as we pushed off, one of our companions threw into the canoe two packages of Grape-Nuts and can of condensed milk saying, Leave these at Verne's with our compliments, they were wishing they had some yesterday. We had gone about half the distance when it began to blow, the lake becom- ing very rough, so we turned our frail boat toward small island and padded with all our might to gain this shelter Heavy rain began to fall and we drove the boat ashore with more haste than caution, and in doing so struck sunk en log and tore a large hole in the light canoe. We scrambled ashore and haul ed the boat up after us, and a nice plight we were in,
 We were on small island of about a aouarter of a acre, and out of the track of steamers; hole a foot long in our boat, with neither tools nor materials to repair it; no shelter except some big trees and our canoe, and no food ex- cept the Grape Nuts and milk.
 For four long dreary days we waited and hoped for help, and finally our friends missed us and organized a search party and found us on the bare little island.
 ';'As we had no fishing tackle we could not fish, and not having a fire we could not cook But we had three meals a day on Grape-Nuts and condensed milk and when rescued we were none the worse for our experience. Thanks to the Grape-Nuts on which we had lived and kept in good health for four days.
 :t.After this adventure never drive a canoe to shore in hurry and never go or hunting trip without a supply of the ready cooked. ready-to-eat, and always acceptable food, Grape-Nuts."

 Tn the first three innings of the game on the Sayfn Rock grounds yesterday afternoon the New Haven team played the same kind of lstless. lifeless ball which the team has displayed for the past two weeks. In these three innings the Norwich team scored four runs. Kane was in the box for New Haven and, while four hits were made off his delivery in these three initial innings, he was also poorly supported, Bone. Fitzmaurice and Golden making costly errors.
 After the third inning the Blues seem ed to change completely and for the next six innings the snappiest and speediest kind of ball was played. It was like history repeating itself'' Kane pitched a good, steady game and the men behind him displayed some of tn vim that has been so conspicuous by it's absence during the past two weeks.
