Meat and the Physique.

The improved physique Of the Jap
anese to which you recently called at
tention, writes a correspondent, is I'M
doubtedly due 20 the more generous
diet which they have enjoyed Of re-
cent years. In the past they were veg
etarians more from necessity than
choice, and their staple food Of rice
and pickles, though it made them tough
and wiry, stunted their growth. This
is proved by comparing the average
Japanese with Japanese wrestlers.
They come of the same stock, but they
seem to be a different race, for their
average height must be close to six
feet, and their weight something pro-
digious. They are a curious example
of heredity for some Of them can trace
their wrestling ancestry back for GEN.

Estimates Run From Six Hundred to
Five Thousand.
The question is, how many Ameri-
cans are there in Porto Rico? The
number has been variously estimated
from GOO to 5000, but all estimates are
mere guesses.
A census was taken in 1890 at the
close of the year. and at that time, ac-
cording to the enumeration there were
1909 persons on the island who were
born in the Ulhted States. This was
one year after the occupation, and con-
ditions since then haveNchanged SO

sistance at all in estimating the number

mon, which is the district where the
capital is located. OF those in this
district nearly all resided in San Juan,
the capital being the residence Of 631
OF the ESQ. OF the 1869 born in the
United States and residing here, only
2S1 were women.
OF course. these figures do not in
clude the soldiers who were here, and
excluding that element in the popula-
ton, we believe that most observers
will admit that the number Of Amer
leans on the island has increased since
that date, and also that for year or so
the number has been decreasing.
