The face of the mikado, as twice or thrice printed in The New York Sun ; from Tokio portraits of him, is one which, apart from its complexion. re- sembles that of many Americans who may be seen in the streets of New York any day. At first glance it seems to have a rather sullen expression, but when closely studied it gives an idea of 'inte-llectuality, thoughtfulness. stead- fastness, cautiousness, energy and level- headedness. It is eminently indicative of,the man s character, as illustrated during his long and successful reign, All the features of it are Well formed. and the bearing of the head is in accord with his traits, as known to the world. Any physiognomist, after_ thoroughly examining the emperor s.face and head. would very surely pronounce a most` favorable judgment upon them. The face of his wife, the empress, is oval, full of intelligence, kindly, and might be taken for that of a ne-looking Am- `erican or European woman, in `so far as form and expression` are concerned. yet not, perhaps, as regards complexion, though it is a truth that many J apanese: women of rank, whoerarelygo out of the house, are fair complexioned. T - Tho `Dun-u~.l.-... 'l1__l_. , v ............- - ucI.l.t:l." acquainted with it through the studyof its peculiarities it -must have grown in favor. It differs from-the face of other Asiatic `races; V it is obviously distinct from the Chinese, ` the Tartar, the Hindoo, the Malay and the Persian face. It bears a nearer re- semblance to the Corean face than to _any other in Asia. But in facial out- lines, -as in mental characteristics, the Japanese" are more like the European races than are any other Asiatic-peo- pie. Professor Grims of Tokio, says that there are two marked varieties `of feature in Japan which are strikingly portrayed in their own pictures : these are the broad, at face of the lowest class and the oval face, with full nose, of the higher. Professor Grifs has been further led to believe that the Japan- ese, whose origin has been lost in anti- lquity, are a mixture of two separate races, the one of which had extended southward from Siberia,hairy and broad gfeatured; while the other, which ap- gproached from the southwest, had the ;Hindustani physiognomy and smooth skin. To this day the natives of the chief island, Nippon, regard those of the lesser island, Yeso, who are called Ain- os, as of inferior quality. The face here spoken of as typical of the natives of Japan is thatof the well-born Nippon- ese, a people who probably owe their ; origin to `a cross between the primitive 3 Ainos and the later corners from `India.

So` distant was it that only here and there could 1 an object on its surface be discerned. ` Truly, we were getting well up in the world.

Or, on the other hand, if the valve line failed to operate, would we go on upward forever ? The thought disturbed me not a little.
