Along the shores of the Baltic was a numerous Mon 

 golian race, who have, only partly lost then' original type by 

 Aryan intermixture. I give you a picture of a peasant fi'om 

 the Baltic regions who shows, some Mongolian character- 

 istics. 



Among our nmiierous immigrants, from the Baltic 

 country, as well as from Hungary?, and the Balkan penin- 

 sula, one often sees pronounced Mongolian types, that point 

 to Kome invasion from Asia, many centuries ago.

As I was sitting in the train and waiting for it to stai't 

 in the little station of Siligurri, at the foot of the Himalayas, 

 a little fellow c-ame down to the train to beg. He was 

 totally different from all the other natives around. He had 

 a flat nose, wide nostrils, kinky hair, and a full beard also 

 kinky. All the other natives had coarse, etraight hair. The 

 Mongolians there had no beards. The Aryans had thin, 

 prominent nofies. This little chap was a negro, and prob- 

 ably came from a little settlement of his kind in the neigh- 

 borhood. A little eddy of humanity in the sti*eam of strange 

 races that had been running past for thousandis. of yearn. 

 But how came they there? This points to the greaiteist 

 mystery of Ethnology. 



We all know the African negro and his peculiarities. 

 There are two grand divisions, of the race — the large, tall 

 negToes that we all know, and the dwarfs or Pygmies. We 

 ha.Te aJl read of these forest Pj'gmies, in Stanley's and 

 Du Chaillu'B bocks. Some of them, as well as being 

 short, are exceedingly frail and slender, with a wild, 

 hunted look. 



Now, the negi'o race exists not only in Africa, but in 

 India, the Philippines, New Guinea, Australia, and the 

 westeiii islands of the Pacific — that is the Melanesian — 

 over 5-9ths of the circumference of the globe, in fact. How 

 came they in all these places? They are not a maritime 

 peoples and sieem to have no fondness or 0da.ptability foi'
