KOREANS REFUSE TO MIX
Analysis of 14,559 Marriages In the
Islands Reveals Some Surprises
to Science Japanese Not Most
Prolific Race on Island.
Honolulu, T. II. The Hawaiian
race, which with the Polynesians In
general, has been regarded ns a dying
people, Is being .reborn and relnvlg
oratod by Infusion of alien blood, ac
cording to statistics Just compiled by
Louis It. Sullivan of the New York
Museum of Natural History now at
tached to the Bishop museum In
Honolulu.
Mr. Sullivan has just completed
analysis of 14,559 marriages In the
Islands, selected nt random, and his
findings in some cases have been sur
prises to science.
According to the tables, more Ameri
can men in the territory marry wom
en of blood foreign to their own than
marry American or British women.
The Japanese are not, as has been
supposed, the most prollllc race In the
Islands, but are surpassed In this re
gard by Portuguese, Porto Itlcans,
part-llawallans and Spanish. Of
American women, more than one In
every six living In the Islands marry
Hawaiian?, part-IInwallans and oth
ers of blood strange to their ancestry.
Of all tho racial groups the Korean
women represent tho only one which
refuses to mix blood, not a single case
of n Korean woman marrying a man
other than a Korean having been dis
covered. A New Racial Group.
As n whole, the tables Indicate, the
part-Uawallan group has a tendency
to consolidate, rather than scatter,
fcluce of Caucaslan-nawallan males
who marry, 32.7 per cent marry back
Into the full-blooded Hawaiian strain,
while only 13.8 per cent take white
wives, and the remainder, either ln
breed among their own kind or marry

at large. Of Asiatic Hawaiian males,
115.0 per cent marry back Into the
Hawaiian strain, only 1.3 Into the
Asiatic strain and a negligible pro
portion Into the Caucasian strain.
The result, so fnr as the Hawaiian
race is concerned, is said to bo a new
racial group, fecund to u high degree,

Constantinople. Tho command of
tho Sholk-ul-Islnm, vlcnr of tho sultan,
ordering Turkish women not to nppcnr

Tho German-Austrian and allies' occu
pations of tho city, with the loss of
husbands, fathers and brothers, and
tho press of poverty, has brought a
new freedom to Turkish women. This
Is dally seen by their clothing. They
wear their veils still, Instead of a hat,
but turned back and tied In a pretty

sian refugee sisters.

Pure Stock Dies Fast.
The pure Hawaiian death rnto Is
the highest in the Islands, 13.48 per
thousand annually, although tho pure
Hawaiian birth rate Is nearly twice as
high as American, British und other
whites.
Scientists recognize that suscepti
bility to dlscnses of civilization Is re
sponsible for the disappearance of tho
pure Hawaiian race, but the figures
just made public by Mr. Sullivan are
the first to show that the Intermar
riage Is rebuilding the old race Into n
stronger, more hardy people.

terms a marvelous storehouse of scien
tific knowledge.
Doctor Newbold told of his two
years' labor to decipher the code Ba
con used.
As u result of the revelations made
by tho S00.000 word manuscript, scien
tists have declared Bacon had rcmnrk
able knowledge of mathematical sys
tems conceived today, and had not tho
discoveries mnde by him remained un
known to others until rediscovered
hundreds of years after his death,
science would have been just so much
In advance of Its present state.
Explanation of the Cipher.
"Bacon conceived tho Idea of ex
pressing every letter of a word which
he wanted to write In cipher by a syl
lable and building tho syllable Into a
new word," ho snld. "For example, If
the letter C Is represented by 'Git,
'A' by 'AD,' and 'E by 'ED the word
'Graded' would spell 'Cat.'
"The principle cannot be used in this
way because, first, every word will be
represented in cipher by twice as many
letters, and second, no words can bo
used in cipher except those of an even
number of letters. To meet these diffi
culties Bacon lays down the rulothnt
successive syllables must end and bo
gin with tho same letters, doubled let
ters being dropped. Thus 'Cat' may
be spelled In tho Bacon cipher ns fol
lows : 'Go-ol-ld' ; dropping tho double
letters, one gets the word 'Gold.'
No Wonder Secret Was Kept.
"In reading tho cipher you double
every letter except tho first and last
ond thus discover the syllables which
spell tho word. But It is seldom pos-.
slblo to find syllables which fulfill
these conditions and yet spell a new
word when arranged in tho order of
letters of the original word like 'cat,'
for example. 'Cat' may also bo spelled
'or-rk-da,' and tho syllables may bo
rearranged Into tho word 'dark,' but
when 'dark' Is translated tno word
'cat' will reappear as 'ten,' the order
of the letters being disarranged. These
are tho principles 'Bacon used.
Thoro are 481 possible combinations
of tho letters of two 22-Iettcr alpha
bets, taken two by two. Bacon makes
every one of the 1S4 represent n letter
of his alphabet and with them spells
his words in Latin in tho way indl
cated above. Ho disarranges tho un
derlying text as llttlo as possible and
it usually Is still recognizable, but
frequently it is disarranged so much
that scholars probably never will
agree as to how it should bo recon
structed." -

THREE YEAR OLD
WASHED ASHOR
Mrs. Dingman Tells of Adventure
of Childhood When Father's
Ship Was Wrecked.
RELATES LATER EXPERIENCE
Declares That the Way Tanlac Re
itored Her Health Is More Re
markable Than Anything She
Has Ever Had Happen
to Her.
"I've had some remarkable expe
riences in my life, but none more won
derful than the way Tanlac oercame
my troubles and made me gain twen
ty pounds," was the statement of Mr.
Christina K. Dlngmnn, 1210 Alice St..
Oakland. Calif. One of (ho experiences
to which Mrs. Dlngmnn refers Is well
known to her friends. When a child
of three years, accompanying her fa
ther, a noted sea captatn, on an ocean
trip, the vessel was wrecked, but she
was almost miraculously sned, the
small box Into which she was put be
ing washed ashore. -According to her
statement, Mrs. Dingman enjoyed the
best of health until three years ago
when she began to suffer from n bad
form of stomach trouble and later
from rheumatism. How she was com
pletely restored to health is best told
in her own words:
"Nobody knows how I suffered for
tho past three years. No matter how
carefully I ate I would endure ago
nies afterwards from smothering and
sinking spells. Sometimes they were
so severe I would fall to the fioor and
would have to bo carried to bed. I
went for days at a time without eat
ing, as I dreaded tho misery I know
would follow, no matter what I ate.
Then rheumatism sot In and my shoul
ders and nrms hurt ine so I couldn't
comb my hair. My back felt like It
was breaking In two.
"I was almost In the depths of de
spair when I began on Tanlac, but this
grand medicine has made me a well
and happy woman. I'm not even trou
bled with constipntlon now, thanks to
tho Laxative Tablets, which are far
superior to anything of the kind I ever
tried. It seems almost too good to
bo true, but hero I am In tho best of
health and spirits after I had given
up hope, and I'll alwnys praise Tanlac
for It."
