. New York. May 26. Swam! Baba Premonanander Bbarati, a celebrated Hindoo ascetic philosopher, whose teachings created great Interest when he was in America three years ago, arrived here yesterday. He is on his way to oLs Angeles to superintend the work of construction of a great Hindoo temple, to be built, the Swaml declares entirely from contributions made by

devout Hindoos In India. Hefore he forsook the world for an ascetic life the Swaml was editor of the Laher Tribune, at the same time Rudyard Kipling was an associate editor of the Civil and Military Gazette. Knew Kipling Well. "I " knew Rudyard well." said the Hindoo. "And while I have greatly enjoyed his books, he has never been able to write of the actual life of India, for he never knew It. His description of the country the color are beautiful, but he i lacking in the spiritual understanding the Inner life of India." ' Concerning' the temple in Los Angeles, where the real spiritual and religion of India will be taught, the Swaml said he had procured the grounds and that enthusiasm in India among the five million ascetics is so great that the iroposed edifice will be one of the most beautiful in the world. Nearly one hundred thousand dollars has been raised. Of Impressive Appearance. In personal appearance the Swaml Is most impressive. He is a very big man, and bis great head is covered with long black hair, slightly tinged

with gray. He has deep black eyes and a massive face. He wears a long khaki covered robe and American made shoes. His turban is of gold and red silk. "At home, when I wander from province to province,. I go wtihout shoes and wear a cloth about my body, while my arms and shoulders are bare," he said. "I am an ascetice, and we take no money in India. Here, If I would get people interested in my philosophy, I must live as they live. I can not wander and beg. I would

be misunderstood."

AMERICANS WILL LOOK LIKE IIIDIAIIS Customs or People, Says Scribe, Gradually Effecting Change.

D3. JOHNSON. - He Never Said a Word About Taking a Walk Down Fleet Street. The wit and wisdom of that great man Dr. Johnson were of the sledgehammer order and Invariably preceded by "sir," so that it is comparatively easy for any one who has acquired the trick to Invent a retort or remark In the Johnsonian style. One of the most effective of these pseudo sayings of the doctor is, "And now, sir," said )r. Johnson, "we will take a walk clown Fleet street." There can be but little doubt that Dr. Johnson did make this renin, for he was always walking down Fleet street, but It is not recorded that he did so. The saying is due to George Augustus Sala, who when the magazine Temple Bar was being started by Mr. Maxwell imagined a quotation from Boswell as a motto for the venture. The thing was luteuded as a joke, but for a long while It v ns absolutely believed to be a quotation from Boa well, and perhaps there are still some who would say unhesitatingly that Dr. Johnn did say the words, so seemingly udthentlc are they. However. Sala himself always acknowledged that he invented the phrase and added that to the best of his knowledge nnd belief Pr. Johnson had never said a word about taking a walk down Fleet street. There are other legends about Johnson, however, which it Is not so easy to kill London Globe.

Los Angeles, May 26. There is an entirely new type of face being created through the mode of present day American life, according to Major Paul von Rautenberg Garozynskl. well known writer on the manners and cus-

IOII1S Ol lllc 11 IUC nui IU is now in this city. Irrespective of race origin and other hereditary mediums of facial resemblance, the faces of Americans are becoming more and more alike, says the major. His knowledge is gleaned from frequent tours of the globe, years spent among different races to study their characteristics and a thorough grounding of medical knowledge and anatomy. Heredity Wilt Fade. "The facial resemblance of race and

! heredity will become as nothing com

pared to that made by remarkable so

Iclal conditions," said the major. "In

a few centuries the American man and woman will taavo the features of the

i American Indian, with a few subtle

. changes brought about by higher men

tal development. "The hawk-like face of the first Americans was developed by constant anxiety over the uncertainties of existence. The visage was characterized by a tension a rigidity which not only affected the muscles but molded the bone. That tension that hawklike appearance is once more becoming a characteristic of the faces of American men and women. "After other races came to America faces of all types and formations were found. There was no similarity. Every nationality brought some distinctive feature to America. These distinctive features are blending more and more every years. Marks of Combat. "The blended features of nearly all of the races are now being molded by the conditions of living and earning in America. The high strung expression caused by a constant rush and endeavor is sinking deep beneath the flesh. "The American Indian was characterized by a high cheek bone, a prominent brow, a narrow solid chin. These marks were the result of centuries of scanning vast areas with eyes half closed, brows puckered, jaws firmly set. "Once more the American lives his life with the same half-closed eyes,

constantly scanning the future; the

same worry puckered brows and the same firmly set jaw. The American of today looks into the distance figuratively, but with the same facial result. Women Also Change. "The American woman, also, who is constantly fighting for social recognition, wears the mark of her combat. The placid face of the housewife is fast disappearing. The cry of America is attainment and upon the face of the American is found the imprint of that cry." The major has been retired from active military service in the German army for many years. Since then he has traveled around the world many times to gather material for his books and magazine articles. Some of his works have been taken up by historical societies in Germany as valuable to posterity.

OLDEST CITIZEN. Chicago. 111., May 26. Fernando Jones, Chicago's oldest pioneer citizen, kept open house for him nAny friends today on the occasion of his ninetyfirst birthday anniversary.
