The following is from New York:-- Modern amazons, who rule the men of their tribe and have no fear of old age. have been discovered in China by Mr. Frederick R Walsin, leader of an ex- pedition sent by the National Geographier V. G Society.
The tribe is known as the To-Runs They are of Mongol descent. and inhabit that little-known part of Western China where the headwaters of the Yellow River, the stream of gold," are situat ed.
Scientists believe the To-Runs and as sociated tribes have been lost in the heart ef Asia for centuries. and are a curious mingling of many races. They are con vinced, by the characteristics of the pec- ples, that the Yellow River region was one of the racial battlegrounds of the early Asiatic migrations.
