Honolulu, T. H.. April 23-The Ha- waiian race, which with the Polyne- sians in general, has been regarded as dying people, is being reborn and re- invigorated by infusion of alien blood according to statistics just compiled by Louis R. Sullivan of the New York museum of natural history, now att tached to the Bishop museum in Homo lulu.
 MT. Sullivan has just completed analysis of 14,569 marriages in the islands selected at random, and his findings in some cases have been sur prises to science.
 According to the tables, more Ameri- can men in the territory marry women of blood foreign to their own than marry American or British women. The Japanese are not, as has been sup posed. the most prolific race in the islands but are surpassed in this re- gard by Portuguese, Porto Ricans part Hawaiians and Spanish

 Of American women, more than one in every six living in the islands mar ry Hawaiians, part Hawaiians and others of blood strange to their an cestry. Of all the racial groups, the Ko1 can women represent the only one which refuses to mix blood not sin, gle case of a Korean woman marrying man other than a Korean having been discovered.
 AS a whole, the tables indicate, the part Hawaiian group has tendency to consolidate, rather than scatter since of Caucasian-H Hawaiian males who marry, 32.7 per cent marry back into the full blooded Hawaiian strain, while only 13.S@ per cent take white wives, and the remainder either in- breed among their own kind or marry at large. Of Asiatic- Hawaiian males AGA per cent marry back into the Ha- waiian strain, only-4.3 into the NAsiatic strain and negligible proportion into the Caucasian strain.
 The result. so far as the Hawaiian race is concerned. is said to be a new racial group, found to a high degree still abnormally susceptible to civiliza- tion's diseases, but with much higher resistant powers than the old Ha- waiian stock. and visibly adding to it's numbers.
 RACE REVIVED
 While the women of Korea lead all other males and females in the islands in marrying within their own race there are other groups which are a second in this respent Only three- terths of 1 per cent of Japanese wom- eE contract out-marriageS. or unions with men of other races, while seven tenths of l per cent of Japanese men so pick their mates; the percentage for the Chinese is per cent for the wom- en and 41,5 for the men; Americans 17.9 for the women and 51.7 for the men; Portuguese, 32.3 for the women; i; 1S for the men: Hawaiian, 405 for the women, and 19.5 for the men.
 The pure Hawaiian death rate is the highest in the islands, 13.4S per 1000 annually, although the pure Hawaiian birth rate is nearly twice as high as Apnercan, British and other whites Science recognizes that susceptibility ;o diseases of civilization is responsi- ble for the disappearance of the pure Hawaiian race, but the figures just made public by MT. Sullivan are the first to show that intermarriage is rebuilding the old race into stronger, more hardy people.
