4 distinguished anthropologist. DR.. Pru-
ner-Bev, has asserted that "a single hair
presenting the average form character
istic OF the race might serve to define
II" I have before called attention TO
the fact that. as far as the type OF hair
Is concerned. the white races appear to
be nearest to the anthrOpOid apes. while
the black races stand farthest away,
and the yellow races occupy an inter
mediate position.
A verv interesting fact mentioned by
Dr. Coupin Is that the racial differences
in hair types point to a multiple origin
for man rather than to his descent from
a single. common ancestor. il study of
the hair could lead to a settlement OF
this long debated question. that would
alone make it well worth while.
Anthropologists and ethnologists have
never been able to reach a conclusion
which every one can accept concerning
the place OF places of mans origin. Per
SONS who take literally the Biblical ac-
count of Adam of course believe that all
men have descended from him alone.
But scientific investigations have not
pointed to an Adam.

have originated IN different places I'M

general resemblance among all races
simply shows that a certain type Of
body. limbs and organs was essential
for the development OF a human species
OF animal, but since the races possess
persistent differences, such as those
shown by the hair. it seems evident that
they could not have been a single race
at the beginning. By crossing their
peeuliarities can be mingled. but there
are no known natural conditions under
which a straight haired race would de-
velOp into a kinkv-haired one.
1t Is n singular fact that the aver
age number of hairs on the head varies
with the type of race concerned. It is
averred, but I have not found the or
iginal authority for the statement, that
Europeans have. on the average. 1855
hairs per square inch; Japanese, 1915;
Anus. 1880.
1t Is also averred that blends have
more hairs than brunette Ii we adopt
these estimates or cOuntings. as correct.
we see that the number OF our hairs Is
not so incredibly great as many sup
pose. Assuming that the average num-
Der Of square inches covered by the hair
on the head Is 156 1t follows that we
have not more than about 100000 hairs.
which shows why badness makes such
rapid strides.

The Secrets of the Hair

II ECENTLN l wrote about the I'M
X pOrtance OF hair as an indication
OF race | am now able to add
some facts which have been collected
by DR.. Henri COupin III France. He
classifies human hair under four forms,
VI. straight. wavy. curly and kinky.
These correspond, practically. with the
straight, wavy, woody and friZzy types
that other authors recognize.
It is merely matter of choice Of
words to describe Characteristic peeu-
liarities. Straight hair Is smooth, stiff,
and 1t often falls in messes on each
side Of the head. The Chinese have this
kind OF hair. and so do the Mongols
and many American Indian tribes. Wavy
hair shapes itself in graceful curves and
spirals, and Is characteristics of Euro
peans and OF some southern Asiatic peO
ples-as the Weddahs and Todas of
Ceylon and India.
Curly hair grows in rings which are
often not more than a third or a half an
inch in diameter. The Nubians are
characterized by this kind of hair. and
it is also found among Australian abo-
rhymes.
Kinky hair consists Of interlaced
spirals ike Sleeps wool. and Is pos
sessed by negroes. Hottentots, bushmen
and bY the MeianeSlans who Inh3bIt
the islands OF the central and western
Pacific.
Among Hottentots and bushmen the
hair Is apt to form little tufts sprinkled
over the head. But these tufts are not
separated by bare spaces. as at first
sight they seem to be; they are formed
by groups of hairs twining together and
making little crests often resembling
peppereorns.
The cross section Of the hair deter
mines its straightness. or degree of cur
vature. Perfectly straight hair Is round
as a pipestem. and Is stiffened by a
central tube filled with a kind OF pith.
Hair of an elliptical section curls. and
flattish hair frizzzes. Fine. soft hair,
small in diameter. Is often said to be
Indicative OF a fine mental quality in
its pOssessor. but l am not aware that
anv scientific evidence of such a rela-
ton exists.
1t Is certainly remarkable thac so
slight a thing as hair, thing so easily
destroyed or lost, should be one Of the
surest OF all criterions of purity of race
