BRUSHES ASIDE RACE THEORY.
Eminent Eastern EthnoIosist Says Old

SClenIlSgS Erred.
New York, Dec. 24-Basing his opin-
ions upon data collected by several ea-
piorers sent out by Morris K. Jesup, of
this city. DR. Franz Boaz, curator OF
Natural History, has announced his be-
lief that previous theories as to the
origin of American and Asiatie tribes
around the north pole are founded in
error. The curator dec.ares that the
tribes around Bering sea and east to
Greenland are subdivisions of one race,
and that the Esqu!maux's position as a
distinct race, SO long conceded. can no
longer be sustained.
1T seems clear" he says, that the
isolated tribes of eastern Siberia and
those of the northwest coast of Amer
lea form one race, similar in type ard
with many elements of culture in com
mon. The invasions of eastern tribes
into America have disturbed the for
mer conditions, but enough remains TO
lead us TO think that the tribes of this
whole area must be considered as a
single race, or at least that their cul-
ture is single culture. which at one
time was found dn both the northeast
ern part of the old world and the
northwestern part OF the new world
Heretofore the dwellers of the Arctic
region We're believed by many seien-
lists to be the Oldest existing race and
to be of pre- glacial origin.

Two dogs were placed in the torpedo

said: "The stock men who have dis
played the good Judgment in buying
these low priced stockers and feeders
and sending them to their feed lots
and pastures are going to reap a rich
harvest when they market them next

inspection of the cattle conditions
thruout the country. there We're very
few in the southwest yet to come to
market, and that very few cattle could
be found in the feedlots any where Just
at. present, indicating that stockmen
were undecided and cannot arrive at

Chicago, Dec. 24.-Wheat-Shorts
covered In wheat today and there was
an advance of cent in the May, hui.
all did not hold owing to liquidation
by local holders. The market was in
fiuenced almost exclusively by war
news and foreign advices. Everything
considered for a holiday market
there was unusual activity and inter-
est. Armour was fair buyer early and
the crowd followed Offerings We're
very light until S4A was reached,
when selling set in. But no weakness
was shown and the market steadied
aroung S4. but later declined under
further liquidation. The winter wheat
belt received the needed moisture. Re-
ceipts in the southwest were very
large. but small elsewhere. Gables were
firm, cash demand fair.
Corn-The corn market was infiu-
enoed by the same conditions that rul-
ed in wheat--the Japan Russian war
scare. There was buying in May by
Armour and shorts and in the absence
of any important selling the market
advanced about u cent. There was
some early covering by shorts on
southwestern rains which will have 4
tendency to retard the movement. Re-
ceipts continue small and cash de-
mand shows only slight Improvement.
Cables were strong.
Oats-Only a small trade in oats, but
the market, was a firm one influenced
by the advance in other grains. There
was selling by local longs and buy
ing by cash and commission houses.
