tooth Of the Nebraska "ape-man," no
trace Of human beings other than homo
sapiens has ever been found Ii Amer
lea. A million years ago the "proln-
Uses of men" Aved Ia Africa, in Ma
laysia, in Asia itself, and even In Eu-
rope. We see dim remains Of a whole
troop of extinct humans behind the
horizon Of the present, the short up
standing Java Pithecanthropus, man
In body but an ape in head; the A.
rican ape man, tall, erect and dark
skinned, but with no forehead; the
heavy-jawed Heidelberg man, a crea-
ture whose children had mouths as big
as those Of large adults Of today; the
dog.faced Piltdowns, and squat, stoop-
shouldered Neanderthals, who bobbed
along on the outside Of their feet, peer
ing with timid. furtive eyes from be-
meath their shaggy brows.,
None Of these men ever saw Amer
lea. Our continent was devoid Of hui
man habitation until the middle Of the
Ice age. Man came into America only
yesterday, in geological sense. He
appeared here $4,000 or 10000 years
ago at most. And the surprising fact
still remains that he was the American
Indian, everywhere from Patagonia to
Alaska when he did come.
There are different kinds Of Indians.
Some have round heads, some have
long heads; there are Indians with
wide cheeks and there are Indians
with narrow faces Yet the more the
evidence is studied, the stronger Is the
conviction borne In upont the minds Of
science that Indians are derived
from one common parent family.
Where did they come from? A
glance at the shores Of Asia opposite
us reveals Mongols. A bridge with
Asia in the past there certainly was {;
civilizations on both sides are much
the same, but now the people. are Diff
ferent. Culturally the northeastern
Indians are more related to European
white men Of the Ice age than to the
rest of America. The land bridge Of

reached America. ..
The answer to this riddle lies in
Asia. Indians are Asiatic. but in
most of their former homes they have
been submerged :. by :. the, yellow
men whom we call Mongols. His
. torians will record that the 10000
years centering about the Twentieth
century A. D. saw the rise Of two rival
races Of men, who totally .eclipsed and
outdistanced all other races. the white
Aryan and the yellow Mongol. = !.

The strides Of the, Mongols are even
greater. They are now spreading with
much rapidly; they have either crowd
ed out or absorbed the native peoples
over most Of eastern Asia. They are
even in America as: Eskimos. Mongol
