TWAIN THAT SHOULD NEVER MEET

The feeling in California against the intermarnage of Americans
and japanese as well as between whites and other Oriental people may
be simply foolish sentmentaiy without the slightest biological toun-
dauon" as Professor Franz Boas of Columbia university said in one OF
a series OF lectures he is delivering at. the summer session OF the Uni
verGty OF California. Nevertheless the foolish sentnmentahty' exists
and is something that cannot be blown away by scientific hot air.
From the standpoint of the eugenst or the animal culturist-bclo-
igsts and Observation-Disclosures OF Europeans and Asatcs may
be emtnent1y all right, but what they or n of them may say is not n
last word OF the matter. 1t is the exception for the white to mate with
the Oriental and it will remain so until long after Professor Boas IS
off the scene. Such mating usually results in disaster o n or the
other Or to both. There is a psychological difference between the races
OF the as and the YES which causes repulsion. The soul of the Orient
and that of the Occident are not in chord with each other. They are
not attuned to the IN harmonies. What is musict to the east is dis
cordant sound to the west. The physognomy and complexion Of the
Oriental re outward visible evidence to the Occidental OF a difference
that is mental and spiritual as we'll The psychology OF a race is the re-
suit of centuries OF environment and intensive cuhure. 1t is nt a thing
apart, but permeates and annmates the physical being and gives it its
distinguishing quality. The repusion of ace or race had its beginning
in the dim past and cannot be disposed OF with a word of higher crt-

STRANGE BIRD OF DESERT.
chapparal Cock Said by cattlemsn to
Build Spike Fence Around
RattIesnake.

Does the road runner or Chapparal
cock snare the rattlesnake by build
Ing fence Of cholla spikes around
him and then dispatch the reptile at
leisure? The story, received with
skepticism. has often been told about
this bird of the southwest. Mr.. John
Feeney Of Elmira recently went to
Arizona to learn the truth. He learned
from some Of the pioneers that they
were ready to make afidavits that
they had witnessed the capture and
death OF rattlesnakes In the aforesaid
fashion. Mr.. Sidney de Long Of Bis
bee affirmed that he had seen 4 pair
of road runners, evidently mates, do
the trick. Cattlemen were prolific In
experiences Of the kind, but the Ari-
zona Historical society had no data.
The road runner is such strange
bird that anything told about It iS
believed. DIR. William T. Hornaday, in
his American Natural History" is
credulous himself. The bid, he says,
lis remarkably odd In form and also
In its habits" He thus describes It:
1T Is about the size Of a small
crow, with tail as long as its entire
body and head, and legs that are SO
long and strong they seem like those
of grouse, save that the toes are
longer. The body is slender, but the
neck and head are large and the head
has a conspicuous crest. The beak
is large. Although the bird has wings
1t seldom uses them, and they must
constantly be growing smaller through
disuse." -.
Mice, lizards, snakes, centipedes,
and insects are provender. The doctor
testifles that 1t Is the most nervous Of
birds, abnormally suspicious and phe-
nomenally quick In it's movements. It
flies little, but leaps far and high with
closed wings. He estimates that IL
the road runner goes on 10000 years
In. it's present habits" It will cease to
fly at all and will be able to leap 20
feet In the air. This remarkable de-
scription of the uneasy and elusive
bird Of the Arizona desert prepares
one for "the many strange yarns" that
have been told about It, including the
story OF how 1t traps the somnolent
rattler. In the interests Of veracious
natural history Mr.. Frank M. Chap
man should visit Arizona and write
a monograph about Geococcyx cali
fornianus.

Land of Wheelbarrona.

The wheelbarrow Is the most COM
mon medium Of transportation in
Shantung, China. The load Is bal
anced about the wheel so that the
workman does not have to carry a por-
tion Of the load, as is the case with
the American wheelbarrow. Some
wheelbarrows have bot one push man;
some having pulling man as we'll;
some have one, two or three donksys
to aid in the pulling. and some are
equipped with sail to obtain the
help of favorable winds. The equip
ment depends on tho load carried, the
maximum load being about ton.
Transportation by whee,barrow is
from five to eight times as expensive
as transportation by rail in this prov.
ince. Thus, the native methods Of
land transportation, even with labor
receiving wage less than ten cents
gold day, are costly, disproportion-
aaely so as compared with the prices
Of other commodities. Yet Shantung
has tens Of thousands Of wheelbarrows
engaged In traffic. 1t Is easy to ap-
preciate what railroads will mean to
the development of this densely pop
ulated province.
