Colonial Races

However much it may be mixed, the population of the United States will always be Aryan at the bottotn, for all the heterogenius elements are absorbed, almost without leaving traces of themsclves, in that immense hearth of colonization, which has no parallel in history. The English have been no less happy in the settlement of Australia, a colonization the energetic expansión of which has not been cnecked except toward the north, whero the conditions grow unfavorable as the settlements approach the equator. Henee it comes that, in the northern prt of Queensland. European colonists are not in a oondition to endure the fatigue of agricultural labor. This fact has had much to do with the efforts made of lnto vears to annex New Guinea and New Urituin, whence it bas been proposed to draw the manual forcea required for the tillage of the soil. In the South African colonies tho Dutch have been solidly establishcd for iomc two hundredyears; and, in a few eountrics of South America, colonies Bomposcd of people of various European origin have prospered, though unequally. Thero are also some young 8olonic3 foundcd by Germans on the Rio Grande, in Brazil, which a faney still needing confirmation has placed in the rank of healthful countries and suitablc for our people. lteviewing the results that have been obtained in the colonies thus briefly enumerated, which embraces the amount of the moro or less fortúnate cnterprises of the kind, we see that their success has been in inverse proportion to the difference in isothermic latitude between them and the mother country of the colonists. But iuevery case it is not probable that the organization of the colonists has esoaped having to pay, at tho expense of profoimd alterations, for acclimatization in foreign countries. Men of science, as well os tourists, have been interested for many years in the study of the Yankee type, which, according to the general opinión, is not wholly comparable either with tho English or German, or with a cross of the two with tho Irisli race. The peculiar physiology of the Yankees is yet to be made out, and I can not insist too strongly on the great value of the seientifie results that mightaecruo from the study of this delicate ctlmological problem. It is avorred that the transformations of this type grow more pronounced as we go from
