![MAN AND HIS THREE FACES traffics with Scotland have been seen into by MacRitchie, still infiltrate the ' pure Nordic races ' of Scandinavia ; the Russian, if you scratch him, is still as much a Tartar as in Napoleon the First's time ; and Poles and Mag¬ yars still bear the stigmata of racial Mongolism.®' Moreover, even Mr. Wells (in his Outline of History) is right when he says - that Mongolian invasions reached west into France during the earlier centuries of the Christian Era. If there has been such infiltration and persistence during the historical period—to say nothing of Consiglio's talk of the Venetian slaves of Mongol blood and their influence on modern Italian physique—there seems little need to look much farther in explanation of the cropping up of Mongolian characters in London to-day. Sir James Cantlie—and he has lived in the East—is so convinced of the Mongolian strain in Europe that he has made the assertion that most European children, at or after birth, display some Mongolian characteristics.'
