Anthropologists would agree with hi racial estimate of himself, so far as race has any meaning.

Like Queen Victoria he claims descent from King David, but with more ethnic reason. Hamites who came out of Egypt and North Al rica. Semites and Jews who swept in from Arabia with the Semites predominating, snd Negroes who were the booty of slave trade ccntunes old mingled their blood to form a nation which has come down intact from antiquity. If the Negroid touch is mamfet in the army and in the crowd that throng Addis Ababa the Lmperof can retort, on good scientific authority, that it is only slightly less obvious in most of the Mediterranean and Levantine nations. Did not' Sergi, the Italian anthropologist decide that Europeans, are probably bleached Africans? Predominantly Semitic are these Eti cpuns.

Whatever the biological argument against hybridization may be, the evidence is strong that it is a propelling force in society. The mixture of Celt Norman, Dane, Teuton and half dozen other stocks produced the Englishman. We American are even mare complex. But.

why is it tha.t these aggressive hybrids seem ultimately to decline? Is it the fate of all cultures, as those who believe in cycles, insist? The Moors who once over ran the greatest mathematicians ef the past the bearers of a culture that fed Europe, are but feeble reminders of what they were. With the Eth ioeiaas the decline is less precipi tons but equally apparent.
