Race Regarded As Dying Is

Honolulu. T. H., April 24.-The
Hawaiian race, which with the
| Pollynesians in general, has been
regarded as dying people, IS pc
ling reborn and Refrigerated py
Infusion of alien blood, according
to statistics just compiled by LOUIS
| r. Sullivan, of the New York muse
lum of natural history, now attached
to the Bishop museum in Honolulu:
| Mr.. Sullivan has just completed
analysis of 1860 marriages in the
islands, selected at random, anu
his findings in some cases have
| been surprises to science.
Americans Marry Hawaiians.
According to the tables, more
American men in the territory
marry women of blood foreign to
their own then marry American or
British women. The Japanese are
not, as has been supposed, the most
prolific race in the islands, but are
surpassed in this regard by Portu-
guese, Porto Ricans, part Hawaii
ans and Spanish. OF American
women, more than one in every six
living in the islands marry Hawaii

blood strange to their ancestry. OF
| all the racial groups the Korean
women represent the only one
which refuses to mix blood. not a
single case of Korean woman
marrying a man other than ko-
Irean having been discovered,
/ AS a whole, the tables indicate,
/ the part Hawaiian group has a
tendency to consolidate, rather than
scatter, since of Caucasian-H Hawaii
Ian males who marry, 1921 per cent
Imarry back into the full-blooded
4 Hawaiian strain while only 1873
per cent take white wives and the
remainder, either inbred among
their own kind or marry at large.
/ OF Asiatic- Hawaiian males asa
per cent marry back into the Ha-
/ waiian strain, only 4.3 into the
Asiatic strain and a negligible pro-
portion into the Caucasian strain.
| A New Racial Group.
The result, so far as the Hawaiian
trace is concerned, is said to be a
new racial group, fecund to a high
degree, still abnormally susceptl'
BILE to civilizations diseases, but
with much higher resistant powers
than the old Hawaiian stock and
visibly adding to it's numbers
While the women of Korea lead
all other males and females IN the
islands in marrying within theF
own race, there are other groups
which are a close second in this
respect. Only 0.3 of one per cent
of Japanese women contract out
marriages, or unions with men OF
other races, while OF of one pei
cent of Japanese men so pick theil
4 mates. The percentage for the
Chinese is per cent for the Wom'
en- and Ais for the men; Ameri.
, cans, 179 for the women and BIZ
for the men; Portuguese, ~.
, women, 1870 men; Hawaiian, 4o.'
1 women, 1875 men.
i Death Rate Is High.
!, The pure Hawaiian death rate i
the highest in the islands, 14.4S PEI
, thousand annually, although TIL
81 pure Hawaiian birth rate is nearl,
twice as high as American, British
| and other whites. Scientists recog

disappearance of the pure Hawaii
an race, but the figures just mad
