| Natural Mgenuity.--The Greenlander, and the
Esqulmaux OF Labrador, placed in region 81 al.
most constant snow and ice, where intense cold rem.
ders the soil incapable of producing any articles Of
human susleoance, are fed clothed and Judged from
the SEAL They pursue indeed, the rein deer,
other land animals, and birds; but seal hunting is
their grand occupation The flesh and blood OF the
seal are their food; the bIubber, or subterraneous
stratum OF tat affords them the means of procuring
light and heat; the bones and teeth are converted
into weapons instruments, and va, ious ornaments
and the skin not only supplies them with clothing,
but with the coverings of Their huis and canoes
The stomach, inteslines, and bladder, when dried,
are turned to many and various in their near

glass in the windows they form, bladders for their
harpoons, arrows, nets &C.. when sowed together
they make under garments, curtains, &c. and are
employed in place of linen on many occasions.
Tins every part of the animal is converted, by q
kind OF domestic anatomy, to useful purposes:
even to tendons, which, when split and dried, form
excellent threads. To the pursuit OF the SEAL the
canoes, instruments, clothing. education, and whole
manner OF life OF the Greeolanders. are adapted
AS plentiful supply Of these animals enable Them
to dispense with every thing else and as without
these they could procure neither dwellings,, clothes.
nor food. it naturally follows that the great aim OF
education is TO make the boys expert seal hunters
and that dextery 10 this uursuit is the greatest
praise that can lie bestowed on the man. The
Lapanders and the Tungoosees of North eastern
ASIA, are equally indeb'ed to the rein. deer; tie

from the carcase OF the great cviaihan; splitting
the hbres Of its cutaneous muscles (the panicutus
