People Little Known: The Ainus, remarkable for their excessive hairiness, were probably the first inhabitants of Japan after the cave dwellers. Many quaint dances and ceremonies remain to them since their first migration from Siberia. Live in Peace: The Ainus of Japan live in peace with their neighbors and exist by fishing and hunting. These bewhiskered people, of whom only a few thousand exist, are perhaps the most poverty-stricken race on earth; not even the price of a shave. American Ruins: The Alamo, famous in the history of the Lone Star State, where brave pioneers were massacred by Santa Anna. The flag always flies over the Alamo, for within these walls less than 200 men withstood the siege of 6,000 for ten days. San Juan Mission: The Mission of San Juan built in 1716 is in a very bad state of preservation though enough remains to show the original plan of the group of buildings surrounding the chapel. The Espada Mission in Texas was built in 1608 and later, when the buildings were destroyed by the Indians, the present buildings were erected in 1730. Locations Seen in Famous Paintings: From this cloistered walk at Amalfi, Italy, many artists have attempted to catch upon their canvases the exquisite colorings of the terraced city, set crescent-wise on the Gulf of Salerno. The Matterhorn, the most photographed mountain in the world, from two points of view which are favorites with artists and photographers.
