THE AMEMCAN INDIAN.
Scientific Research to Ascertain
His True Origin.
He May Have Come from Aala and of
Mongolian Stock A Favorite
Kotlon of Some Sci
entist. Scientists, and laymen nlso, wil!
watch with considerable interest for
results to come irom the expedition of
lr. Frank lions, the eminent ethnolo
gist of the American Museum of Nat'
urul History, in starch of evidence that
the American Indian came originally
from Asia and was of Mongolian slock.
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 Bthring straits from northwestern
Asia, and so down into the great con
tinent of America, has always been
rather a favorite notion in the scientific
mind, and while there is sometimes a
striking facial resemblance between
individuals of the Pacific coast tribes
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
and North America across the straits
would be easy by even the most primi
tive means of water travel. Then,
the Chinese have been navigators since
they were first known to the people of
Europe, nnd might well have crossed
the Pacific at its narrowest part, or
even stray junks might have been car
ried across by stress of weat her in pre
historic, as they have been known to
be carried in historic times. But the
Chinese, the Mongolians, are of a race
which doeB 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 anew
npeech 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 bad
no more tradition of Mongolian origin
. than of origin in 1he lost continent of
Atlantis, the hills nnd rivers and lakes
immediately surrounding him making
his world, and the stories handed down
in particular tribes of migration from
a land to the westward might mean
(hat the tribes came from places ten
miles or 10,000 miles in that direction.
Home of the tribes, notably the Natchez,
had traditions of both eastward and
westward tribal movements, uud, al
though little is known of this particular
tribe, exterminated very early in the
history of while occupation of the con
tinent, it is known that it differed in
language, appearance and habits from
the tribes surrounding it. Again, thu
Indians dwelling on the islands in the
.Santa Barbara, channel, also perishing
early, are known to have been a su
perior race to ihat on the inainlnnd
from which the islanders were sepa
rated by Ichs than .'10 miles of water,
stronger, of little color, more intelli
gent nnd lews sullen.
This strong and strange dit luction
between tribes dwelling side by side
on the American continent was not at
all unusual, seeming to indicate rather
llm progressive development of a race
Mii generis than the vary ing decline of
a nice fallen from another and a differ
ent civilization. The Iroquois and the
Creeks achieved confederacy and civil
government, while Indians nil about
them were savage, and the Aztecs and
the Peruvians were as civilized along
different lines tin the Europeans of
their day. It Is not, indeed, an extrav
agant supposition that, if 1 lie discovery
of America had been delayed 500 years
Americans would have discovered Europe-although
there is against it the
action of that great law which seems
to impel race movement toward the
west. The same law runs, nlso,
against the theory that the Indians
were a wave of Mongolians moving east
ward la Kcarch of new homes. The
limitation of the scientist lies in this,
Hint, because Asia was the cradle of our
own nice, we conceive it to hnve been

LONESOME WORK,
lighthouse Keeping Along
Florida Keys.
the
i na.t Whereon IJe the Wreck!
of
Many Bhlpi How the Keep
er! Pas Their Long
Watches.
More ship's bones lie upon the outer
reef girding the keys of south Florida
than perhaps upon any other shoals
?xcepting Hatteras, in this country.
Capt. Thomas S. Eells, agent of the
Lloyds in this city, has a record of ship
wrecks on the coast of Florida for many
years, and the aggregate losses foot up
mrprisingly high in the millions of
lobars.
The strait of Florida ha long been
a a ocean highway for steamers and
mailing ships bound from foreign and
domestic ports to New Orleans, Central
and South America. In fact, the out
let of the great Gulf of Mexico, sur
rounded by rich and fertile countries,
has been this narrow strait between
the keys and Cuba, through which the
gulf stream passes. Consequently, it
is not surprising that in this narrow
strait, the caldron where the West In
dian hurricanes generate, with its con
cealed reefs of cruel coral, thousands
of vessels have ended their careers,
and more thani thousands of men have
lest their lives. Few sailors pas
through the strait now without be
ing reminded of the brave men and
the brave ships whose skeletons whiten
the sands beneath the surface of the
limpid green waters, and some of them,
as they watch the storm scud fly across
the moon and listen to the moan of
the reef buoy mingling with the creak
ing of the spars of the ship, perhaps
have good ground to believe that this
place is haunted by demons of the deep
and the souls of dead comrades.
It is no wonder that the inhabitants
of the keys, the "Couchs," have grown
rich in wrecking. In these latter days,
however, there are fewer wrecks m
the strait than there were some years
airo, for Uncle Sam Iras marked the.
contour of the dangerous hidden reef
with a fine system of lighthouses, each
with a light of separate and distinct
character, so that the mariner may
know how to shape his course in the
blackest and stormiest of nights.
The job of lighthouse keeper is about
the loneliest way of making a living
In the catalogue of occupations. The
mental strain, ha proven so great in
several instances that the keeiiergrew
melancholy to such n. degree that he
elided it 'by blowing out his brains.
The system is now so arranged that
the sudden darkening of an important
reef lamp by a suicide's bullet is not
probable, for two keepers are stationed
in, each lighthouse for company's sake
us well as to guard against sickness.
These two keepers of the key lights
for two months on a stretch seldom see
any faces except their own and con
verse with nolxuly except each other,
The lighthouses are, on the average.
20 miles from land, nnd ships pass from
ten to twenty miles away. The light
houses are built of four great iron pil
lars, founded deep in the coral and tovv
erinar toward each other. Platforms of
steel bind the pillars together, sleep
ing and storage rooms. are constructed
and the lamp crowns nil. The place is
not perilous, but in a storm must be
what t he colored folks call "lonesome"
to nn uncanny degree.
After two months of service the keep
er has a month ashore to spend with
his family or how he. pleases. The fnm
ilies of the reef lightkeepers are not
allowed in the houses. They are looked
upon as a distraction that might cause
the keeper to neglect his duty.
Miwt of the keepers have developed
Into omnivorous readers. Some of
them, however, have pursued a steady
purpose, and one we have in mind pre
pared himself for admittance to the
bar, and has since become one of Key

Breeding Stork.
The first consideration in rawing
poultry musl be Riven to the breeding
took. Unless this is sound and healthy
we cannot expeot to batch healthy
chickens or even baton chickens at all.
No matter bow good the machine mav
be or how faithful a sitter the old ben
may prove, neither can hatch chiokens
from weuk or infertile eggs. Many dis
appointments and unmeroas failure
have been oauaed by ignorance iu the
care or the parent etoci, sua winosi
invariable have the machines been
blamed for them. Ft hens and those
otherwise out of condition will not lay
fertile eggs. Over-fed cook birds and
those iu poor condition cannot fertilize
the eggs of even healthy hens.
To keep our breeding stook in first
olasa condition does oot require so tnaob
skill as it does common seuse. They
may be fed liberally, provided tuey get
variety of food and plenty of exercise.
As a role, farmers' hens usually lay
fertile eittrs. This oan be accounted for
prmoipally because they invariably bave
enough oock birds and the tlock gets
plenty of txereise. There is no donbt
that the best result! are obtained from
thoroughbred stook, but we oannot bope
that ell farms will be stocked thai; yet
many bave adopted tbem, and with the
greatest siuiccsn. Common stook can be
greately improved by using thorough
bred oock birds. Common or mongrel
fowla are hurdly worth keeping at all
because, even if possessing good blood
at the start, they soon deterorate Into

About 100 sheep are said to have been killed

a code of signals which calls them together.
