nal Characteristics Are Coming In.
Other Races Affected.
English physiognomists assert that
Americans as nation are going back
to first principles in the matter of
facial appearances. In other words,
instead of progressing in the line of
Anglo-Saxon beauty they are gradual
ly but surely beginning to look like
Indians
Not only are they becoming to look
like Indians as a 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 thew
were born.
The physiognomists in question in
commenting upon these changes say
in substance that the American face
is steadily changing; that it is a curl
GUS fact that the typical American
face is becoming to resemble more
and more closely that of the original
resident of the same land. The In

bones, lank hair. thin lips and i'm

noticeable changes that are being
brought about

After several years of experimenting
Japan decided to put meat on the daily

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

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

"BottIe" Nose Coming.
New Zealanders are taking on the
''bottle" nose. not as a 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 it.,
sometimes referred to by physiogno-
mists as the "squat aquiline.'' This
nose is typical of the New Zealand
QbOrigine, the Maori.
