He May Have Come from Aula and of Mongolian Stock A Favorite Notion of Some Sci entists. Scientists, and laymen also, will watch with considerable interest for results to come from the expedition of Dr. Frank Boas, the eminent ethnolo gist of the American Museum of Nat ural History, in seareu of evidence that the American Indian came originally from Asia and was of .Mongolian stock. Dr. Boas has gone to British Columbia and Alaska, where the Indian blood that is left is purest and where, presumably, the Mongolian connection is most ap parent in the natural condition of the primitive tribes, if it is to be found at all. The passage of the red men across the Behring straits from northwestern Asia, and so down into the great con tinent of America, lias always been ather a favorite notion in the scientific ind, and while there is sometimes a Ktriking facial resemblance between ndividuals of the Pacific coast tnoes 'and individuals of the Chinese and Tar tar nations, there seems little real evi dence to sustain the scientific hypothe sis beyond the admitted fact that pas sage between the continents of Asia incl fvortli America across tne straiis wouiu De easy iy even iue must primi tive means of- water travel. Then, fiie Chinese have been navigators since they were first known to the people of feurope, and might well have crossed the Pacific at its narrowest part, or even stray junks might have been car ried across by stress of weather in pre historic, as they have been known to be carried in historic times. But the Chinese, the Mongolians, are of a race which does not readily lose racial char acteristics. These peoples have con structive and intricate language, where as the tongues of the Indians are of the most primitive kind, and if they are really Mongolians they present the strange spectacle of a race which has not only lost its original speech and its original customs and traditions, but each little group of which, forming a. separate tribe, has built for itself a new speech made of sounds in imitation of the cries of animals, to which arbitrary meanings have been attached, each tribe creating for itself new customs and new traditions growing out of its own immediate enviroment. The American Indian certainly had no more tradition of Mongolian origin than of origin in the lost continent of Atlantis, the hills and rivers and lakes immediately surrounding him making his world, and t he stories handed down in particular tribes of migration from a land to the westward might mean that the tribes came from places ten miles or 10,000 miles in that direction. Some of the tribes, notably the Natchez, had traditions of both eastward and westward tribal movements, and, al though little is known of this particular tribe, exterminated very early in the history of white occupation of the con tinent, it is known that it differed in language, appearance and habits from the tribes surrounding it. Again, the Indians dwelling on the islands in the Santa Barbara channel, also perishing early, are known to have been a su perior race to that on the mainland from which the islanders were sepa rated by less than 30 miles of water, stronger, of liltle color, more intelli gent and less sullen. This strong and strange distinction between tribes dwelling side by side on the American continent was not at all unusual, seeming to indicate rather the progressive development of a race sui generis than the varying decline of a race fallen from another and a differ ent civilization. The Iroquois and the Creeks achieved confederacy and civil government, while Indians all about them were savage, and the Aztecs and the Peruvians were as civilized along different lines as the Europeans of their day. It is not, indeed, an extrav agant supposition that if the discovery of America had been delayed 500 years Americans would have discovered Eu rope although there is against it the action of that great law which seems to impel race movement toward the west. The same law runs, also, against the theory that the Indians were a wave of Mongolians moving east ward in search of new homes. The limitation of the scientist lies in this, that, because Asia was the cradle of our own race, we conceive it to have been the cradle of every other. Is a race peculiar to America an impossible con ception? San Francisco Bulletin. Echo Used to Measure Distances. A most interesting-method of employ ing the echo of a sound has been de vised for the location of the carriers which sometimes ledge in the under ground pneumatic tubes. Knowing that sound travels at a speed of, rough ly, 1,100 feet) per second, and knowing the time measured in thousandths of a second between the firing of a pistol Ehot in the conduit and the arriving of the echo at the outlet of the tube, a sim ple calculation gives the exact location of the obstruction. The means of five experiments in the recent test gave 2, 793 seconds, and. when the sound veloc ity was, corrected! foi- air temperature the obstruction was located at 1,537 fee from the instrument, which was the ex act location.
