Facial Features Of the Race

nal Characteristics Ars Coming In.
otl,sr Races Affected.
English Dhysiognomists assert that
Americans a. q nation are going back
b nrst principles in the matter Of
facial Appearances. In other words,
instead Of progressing in the line Of
Anglo-saxon beauty they are gradual
" but surely beginning to look like
Indians.
Not only are they becoming to look
like Indians rs q race, but the resi-
dents Of each section Of the country
are taking on the facial traits of the
particular tribes that originally roam
ed over the territory in which they
were born.
Tho physiognomdsts in question in
commenting upon these changes say
In substance that the American face
is steadily changing; that 1t is q curl
Gus fact that the typical American
face II becoming to resemble more
and moro closely that Of the original
resident Of the same land. The In
dams high and prominent cheek
bones, lank hair. thin lips and I'M
pressive expression are some Of the
noticeable changes that are being
brought about.
They assert that the American blond
IS now passing into history and that
in few years the wire haired, beard
less individual will take up the center
Of the stage az the distinctive Amefi-
can type.
Other Nstions Changing.
The future cartoon Of your Uncle
Samuel. according to their figuring, in
stead Of being the fine old gentleman
with the slippery elm cud hidden
away in his cheek. the long hirsute
draperies on his chin and the rosy
face that reflects all there is in coed
nature and Yankee humor, will be re-
placed by a solemn individual Of cop
per hue. with as much expression in
his face as a pan Of milk and with
hair that suggests barbed wire. Why
all this change they know not Suffice
It to say that such Is the decree.
Not only are Americans changing in
type, but % also are the japanese.
the New Zealanders, the French. the
Italians and even our British cousins
themselves.
The change in the Japanese is due.
20 they say. to the change Of diet

After several years Of experimenting
Japan decided to put meat ON the daily
diet Of her navy, with the result that
where the experiment was made the
lucky ones who were chosen for the
test began to sprout in two directions,
up and across. It was noticed that the
men Of the ships where beef was serv-
ed grew about threequarters of an
inch on the average. Throughout the
island empire entrees and roasts have
been taken up. with the result that the
Jap generally IS growing to be taller
individual.
United States consuls report that To-
cal tailors complain that since the in
PRODUCTION Of meat there has been a
general demand for more cloth in
making clothes. Another noticeable
change that has been brought about
is the condition Of their hair. Hereto
fore their hair has been as upright and
as bristly as a galliwog's. but now it
is becoming as smooth and lank as the
average Americans. Hair Oil and hair
brushes, as result, have become
standard articles Of sale through the
country where only few years ago
the former was generally thought to
be something to drink and the latter
was mistaken for a petrified animal Of
porcupine order.
"BottIs" Nose Coming.
New Zealanders are taking on the
"bottle" nose, not as fashion. but be-
cause changes are also coming about
down there. The "bottle" nose is the
style of nose that spreads across the
face rather than stands out from 1t,
sometimes referred to by physiogno'
mists as the squat aquiline." This
nose is typical Of the New Zealand
aborigine, the Maori.

mustaches and imperial Of the same
hue will in the future break out as

physiognomists, will he be seen draped
